  • My husband and I saw an incredible transformation in our girls after their first visit to Hiawatha. There was a fire for Christ that we had never seen in them (and we are very involved in our church). I would absolutely recommend this camp to any parent that wants to promote positive but fun changes in their children!

  • Hiawatha has been part of our lives for such a very long period of time. It encompasses my whole family. I was able to take those lessons we learned from Hiawatha — leadership, serving on staff — and apply them in my career and in my life.

  • The family and the friends that I have gained from Hiawatha, it’s just made me who I am. Some of the best conversations I’ve ever had were walking around that lake. The community, the friendships… it’s just incredible.

  • Thank you for pouring into my girls this summer! They came home in even more awe and wonder of Christ because of your hard work.
