Wisconsin Farmers Union
Overnight Camps
In the 1940s, Wisconsin Farmers Union members and their co-ops donated funds and labor to build WFU Kamp Kenwood. The 23-acre camp features a sandy beach, rustic cabins, and the historic lodge built all those years ago.
Located along beautiful Lake Wissota near Chippewa Falls, our affordable camps draw hundreds of youth from throughout the Midwest each year.
Our Overnight Camps Offer...
time spent unplugged
We stay busy with games and outdoor activities that not only bring the fun, but also teach life-long lessons about sustainability, leadership, agriculture, and so much more!
outdoor activities
There will be plenty of time for adventures in nature! Campers enjoy kayaking, hiking, campfires, and outdoor games.
forever friendships
One of the best parts of camp is getting to know other kiddos from around the state! Many campers make lasting friendships during their stay.
co-op education
Cooperative values are at the heart of Farmers Union. Campers learn about the co-op model and even organize their own co-op store.
Co-ops (front and center!)
Campers learn cooperation by experiencing it — sharing responsibilities, making group decisions, running a cooperative camp store together, and seeing how working together makes everything better.
Conservation & Care for the Land
Campers explore nature, learn to care for shared spaces, and build habits that respect the outdoors.
Civic Engagement & Community
We practice using our voices, fairness, and responsibility through group games, camp traditions, and problem-solving together.
Food Systems & Local Food
We connect food to land, farmers, and community — often through hands-on, farmer-led activities, shared meals, and curiosity about where food comes from.
