For the sake of the young

At Camp Palawopec, we work together as a team, campers, and staff striving for the most fun and excitement the summer can possibly offer.


We are a small, personable, down-to-earth camp dedicated to helping your child have a wonderfully fun summer. We offer sessions for boys and girls, ages 8-15, along with special adventure trips for older campers. The program is outdoor-oriented, with activities geared to stimulate an appreciation of our natural environment — but with the emphasis being on good old-fashioned summer fun in a non-competitive relaxed setting.

Small and intimate experience with limitless possibilities.

Camp Palawopec is a small, intimate, and private camp for boys and girls. It is conveniently located in the rugged hills of Brown County, Indiana, just minutes from the sleepy village of Nashville and Indiana’s famous Brown County State Park.

Summer session signups starting soon.

Camp Palawopec offers a challenging program for boys and girls based on outdoor living. Discovery, physical fitness, self-reliance, practical skills, and knowledge of our great outdoors are the byproducts of a camping experience—and it’s for these reasons we exist, for the sake of the young!

A word to parents

Choosing a camp for your child is a serious responsibility. A child will spend more hours in a few weeks stay at camp than in nine months of school.

Kids are so structured and competitive at school—it was a great treat to have the emphasis on just plain fun!

“Dear Mike,
There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about Camp and wish I was there. Next year will be my 6th summer at Camp—it has truly changed my life!!”
