Summer Camp

Welcome to Camp Warren, where girls and boys have been creating memories and friendships for over 80 years! Located north of the Twin Cities near Eveleth, Minnesota, Half Moon Lake and Camp Warren’s 480 acres offer the perfect setting for girls and boys to experience a one, two, three, four, or five week adventure filled session at camp.

Life at Camp Warren

Camp life at Warren is based on long-standing traditions dating back to 1927. Warren campers live in cabin groups of up to 11 campers plus two staff members. Girls attend camp from June to mid-July, and boys attend mid-July through August. Warren, in a beautiful northwoods setting, empowers campers to be their best.

  • Progressive skill-development in activites (see list below)
  • Each camper is encouraged to chronicle their weekly progress and record thoughts about favorite activities, developing friendships, and much more.
  • In partnership with lead staff, program professionals assist in waterfront, arts and crafts, health services and administration, plus much, much more.
  • Our kitchen staff prides themselves on creating a well-balanced and good-tasting menu. A salad bar is provided at dinner an fresh fruit is offered each day.
  • Campers eat family style as a cabin group.

Character Counts

We nurture character development in campers by teaching the values of respect, caring, responsibility and honesty. Our well-trained staff members lead quality programs that are safe, fun and enriching.

With Camp Warren, your campers will:
  • Develop integrity, self-reliance and leadership skills in a single-gender environment.
  • Build lifelong friendships.
  • Enrich their spirit, mind and body through challenging and fun camp activities.
  • Gain an appreciation for the natural environment.
  • Experience a sense of community by living with campers in age-appropriate small groups with trained staff.

Safety- Our First Priority

The safety of each child is our primary concern. We are American Camping Association (ACA) accredited! This assures you that camp practices have been measured up against 300 national standards that go a step beyond our state's basic licensing requirements. ACA accredited camps voluntarily go through a rigorous risk-management process to provide a supervised, positive environment with controlled boundaries where children can grow.
