Since 1920, we've offered boys aged 7-16 a unique seven-week summer camp experience. We blend time-honored traditions with thrilling activities, personal growth and lifelong friendships.
Your son will spend a summer with no phone and no internet. He’ll be immersed in Wisconsin’s beautiful Northwoods. Watching television is replaced with watching a golden moon rise over the shores of Trout Lake. By the end of the summer, your boy will opt for the saddle or waterski. Video games are forgotten for sporting competitions and teamwork with his cabin on his wilderness trips. Truly a one-of-a-kind overnight experience.
Activities For Every Boy
We have over 30 activities, some boys can only do at Red Arrow Camp
Our proven instruction based program is tailored towards setting goals and striving to achieve them. Embrace rewarding physical and emotional challenges together with your cabin and make friends that last a lifetime. No other boys summer camp has an instruction based program quite like us.

Become a great boy
The most critical asset we have at camp is time. We have the time to help your son develop his skills, build lifelong friendships, and above all enjoy a entire summer of being a kid. You’re son will leave camp more confident in himself, and prepared for everything life can throw at him.
I was at Red Arrow Camp for 8 glorious summers. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. The camp has had a profound, lasting and positive impact on my life, my career and my family.
We greatly appreciate all the staff did to make it a safe summer, full of fun as well personal growth. The staff at Red Arrow is caring and empathetic, but also pushes the kids to be their best.
He looked up to his counselors so much and made fast friends with his cabin mates even though he is a shy kid.
My boy shared with us the great improvement he achieved in many of the sports he practiced at RAC, especially those involving water: water skiing, diving, sailing and swimming.
Our 2 boys had their first Red Arrow Camp experience this summer... I can not say enough good things are RAC. From the caring staff and counselors, the countless new adventures the boys get to experience, the awesome organization and communication from the camp office...
Red Arrow Camp has been a huge gift to our boys who have been both campers and counselors. We are forever grateful and recommend Red Arrow with all our hearts!
Our boy is a quiet kid - we noticed right away that he engages with adults/peers in a new way - very clear pleases and thank yous, most noticable when we're at a restaurant and he orders his meal. He used to leave this to us and now is engaging on his own.
Our boy definitely returned from the camp much more mature and independent. He greatly reinforced his self-esteem by proving to himself that he is capable of achieving every goal he sets for himself both personally and athletically.
Our son is much more proactive in helping around the house. Additionally, he is having more meaningful conversations with us and his friends.
Red Arrow camp is an amazing place for boys to be just that: boys! while learning new things and making long lasting friendships! My son loves RAC
Made many lifelong friends and great memories in my six summers there. I know some are hesitant about seven weeks - I assure you, by the time the summer is over you'll wonder where the time went and wish it had been an eight week session!
As first-time parents, we were awed at the opportunity that we had given them through this experience and quickly saw what a tight-knit family RAC becomes. The impacts of their time at RAC have been noticeable after they returned home and everyone is eager for next summer!
My memories will last my lifetime.
What an awesome summer and experience - it truly lived up to the hype that my husband has been sharing all these years, and was very true to all the conversations we had with Eric and alum over the past year.
I loved the emphasis on setting goals, overcoming difficulty and being a good friend/teammate. The variety of activities offered is impressive and gives a ton of opportunity to try new things that aren't available to us the rest of the year. I feel this is clearly an experience that will impact my son in a positive way for his whole life.
Red Arrow is a place where a boy can develop independence, resilience, and try so many new activities.
"Amazing opportunity for boys to experience important bonding and test their limits in a rustic and beautiful setting - under watchful guidance of qualified camp staff.
I can't say enough good things about this camp! My son loves going each year. His athletic abilities have dramatically improved in multiple sports as a result and he's grown so much as a boy. The administration is exceptional - it's extremely well run.
He tried new activities and improved many activities he already knew. I would highly recommend Red Arrow Camp to anyone looking for an amazing summer experience for their son!
