Camp Hiawatha | Munising, MI
Camp Hiawatha is 800 acres of pristine spruce and pines, and encircles Bunting Lake, a 60 acre lake in the middle of Hiawathaland National Forest in the heart of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, between the towns of Munising and Chatham. Close by are many trails and waterways including the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, The North Country Trail, Grand Island, and the Autrain River. It offers many opportunities for Units outside of the traditional camping sessions and is available to Units throughout the year as a base camp if they wish to explore the surrounding national forest or hike along the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

A True Upper Peninsula Scouting Adventure
Camp Hiawatha provides a 7 day/6 night patrol style camping experience. Amenities include 8 camping sites that can accommodate 40-80 campers depending on the site. Each site has flush toilets, patrol shelters and a central fire ring. A shower house with 10 stalls including handicap accessibility is also available.
Scouts camping at Camp Hiawatha have the opportunity to experience the outdoors and appreciate its bounties by sleeping in tents, cooking and eating meals in the outdoor setting, exploring the many nature trails, watching the loons swim about the lake with their chicks, or watching the grand night skies. The opportunity to learn and apply outdoor skills helps to reinforce the “Outing” of Scouting.
Camp Hiawatha offers a multi-layered program for Scouts of all ages and experience levels. A program designed specifically for first time campers, many merit badge opportunities for Scouts working on their advancement, and a high adventure program for older, more experienced Scouts.
