What We Do

Summer Camp

Camp Akita's summer camp is a co-ed, residential camp experience for youth in 1st through 12th grades. As a camper, you will experience crazy fun and excitement, thoughtful times of reflection and conversation, and a loving community that values you unconditionally for who you are. Learn more

Facility Rentals

Rent one of our cabins in the woods and bring your family for a relaxing weekend getaway in a beautiful setting. Larger groups can reserve side-by-side cabins together or stay in our main Lodge. We can accommodate weddings with locations for the ceremony, reception, and overnight lodging for your guests. Learn more
