Lodging at Camp Wavus

Shared Cabins

As Camp Wavus is a children’s camp from June-August, lodging on offer are shared cabins with bunk beds and shared bathrooms. Cabins host around 10 attendees per cabin.

Cabins do have:

  • Electricity

  • Toilets

  • Showers with hot water

Cabins do not have:

Camping

If you would prefer to camp outside of a cabin, this is also possible. Attendees often camp in tents, and there is a specific area on campus set aside for camping. Please inquire at check-in before setting up tents. See our list of recommended items specifically for camping.
