Wakonda Kids Camp

Are you looking for new and unique activities to provide during your youth or family programs this summer?

Come spend the day with us at Camp Wakonda at the Howard H. Cherry Scout Reservation located near Central City, Iowa. Day programs are open to the public for fun-filled outdoor activities for boys and girls ages 5 to 14.

All activity areas are staffed by our trained summer camp counselors. Each group must provide their own supervision/leaders.

Wakonda Kids Supported by the Prairie Meadows Community Betterment Grant

The American Heritage Girls group had a FANTASTIC time at Camp Wakonda. The programming was terrific and the counselors were wonderful. It was a really great day and everyone came home fulfilled by the adventure. Thank you!!
