We are a diverse multicultural camp that offers overnight sessions for girls-only campers, boys-only campers, mother/daughter weekends, parent/child weekends, and camp rentals for retreats and special events. We believe in empowering children through various activities, to grow in confidence, leadership, friendship, and cultural awareness. Beginning at its location in 1951 as Camp White Eagle, Camp Kupugani has provided children a secure summer camp environment that encourages the discovery of self and a sense of wonder in the natural world. It is comprised of beautiful woods, trails, a swimming pool, two all natural limestone rock climbing walls, game fields, and a 5-acre lake for swimming, water games, and canoeing. With wildlife and wildflowers galore, it offers fresh air, natural water, the robust smell of pure woods, and a twinkling night sky. At camp, everyone learns important life lessons. By planning healthy, developmentally appropriate activities and learning experiences, we encourage healthy risk-taking and challenge each person as an individual. We build confidence and self-respect by providing suitable structure, strong moral and ethical role models, and opportunities to learn physical, intellectual, psychological, emotional, and social skills. "It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences." - Audre Lorde
