Respect -- Friendship -- Shared Pride -- Perseverance -- Leadership The spirit of Camp Mah-Kee-Nac lies in the commitment to our community. Campers and staff feel supported, challenged and encouraged to participate in an action-packed day of sports, outdoor adventure, waterfront, media and the arts. Through these activities and our elective-based program, campers build confidence by experiencing success. Our boys discover the power of their true selves and the individual role they play as part of the greater community. To us, community over everything is what makes Mah-Kee-Nac extraordinary. Different then our philosophy are our core values. Our core values embody our culture and helps guide our commitment to community. Each Friday evening at camp, we meet at our amphitheater over looking The Bowl to Huddle Up in front of a bonfire. Huddles are an important part of our culture and our commitment to community. It’s where brotherhood begins, and at camp…never ends. At our Huddles each week we take a moment to just stop time. At camp we are always moving, constantly active, sometimes moving too fast to take a moment and appreciate all that’s going on around us. Our Huddles provide us the chance to do just that. We reflect on the weeks past and get excited about whats to come. But most importantly, we take the time to talk about our core values and how each and every one, when demonstrated, makes us the strongest community we can be.
