Announcing the 49th Annual West Denmark Family Camp

June 30 and July 1-3, 2026

Welcome to the 2026 Family Camp!

For nearly a half-century, West Denmark has presented our version of a true Danish Folk Camp—a mini “school for life.” Family Camp is a remarkable experience of community, as we connect with friends old and new; and learn, eat, sing, play and dance together. This year’s camp has been carefully and creatively planned to carry on this rich tradition. We hope you will join us this summer for fun and learning here on the shores of Little Butternut Lake.

The 2026 Family Camp Planning Committee:

Henry Amberson, Elizabeth Anderson, Bill Brumfield, Beth Chartrand, Nancy Gill,
Judy Grumstrup, Dave Johnson, Susan Lannoo, Terra Lumley, Shawn Mai, Rich Oates,
Gwen Sarya, Tom Scott, Terry Speiker, Henrik Strandskov, Mercy Wetzig,
and Jonathan Wilson

2026 Camp Highlights

 Speaker presentations including “Words from an Ojibwe Elder,”Music and Mental Health,”
“The Gain in Brain I’m Happy to Explain,” (including preserved brains
and spinal cords to examine and touch) and “Scent Fun with Dogs.”

Crafts and activities include learning how to use a wood-fired pizza oven,
learning some new songs on the recorder, knitting,
and a history walk though the West Denmark Cemetery.

And, back by popular demand: another recital by
Chuck Parsons on the remarkable Rogers digital pipe organ!
