Camp Brosius

Love this place! So relaxing and it is nice to be able to enjoy yourself for a week. I highly recommend bringing your family!

Great family vacation. Beautiful lake with plenty of activities for both kids and adults. Counselors are energetic and fun and my kids can’t wait to get here. This is our third year and we’ll be coming many more.

Our favorite week every year! Fun for the whole family. Kids love all of the activities and the counselors. Perfect vacation as everything is planned for you, meals included… you just show up, relax, and enjoy!

Beautiful lake, lots of activities, great food, caring competent camp counselors. A wonderful family camp experience. Definitely will return.

Camp Brosius is an amazing family experience. I’ve been going for 6 years. I’m from Arizona and grew up in Indiana, my husband and I both attended Indiana University. It is so much fun to see our children running around singing camp songs, catching frogs and playing outside. They talk about Camp Brosius all year and have made life long friends here.
The food, staff and activities are amazing. They keep everyone from the babies, teens to the adults busy all day. We love it.

«Rah Rah for Brosius! Rah Rah for Brosius! Rah Rah for dear old Camp Brosius!»
Having missed the camp experience as a kid, the past week at Camp Brosius was extremely fun and eye-​opening for me. And I have to thank my better half for finding the information in a random email from IU and helping to make the decision about where to go on our summer vacation.
I can not say enough good things about Camp Brosius and the wonderful people who went above and beyond to make us feel at home up in the «wilds» of Wisconsin. From start to finish, we felt part of the family — all four of us — and our time was filled with exciting, interesting and enjoyable experiences.
We stayed in a cabin in «Hope Village,» which was cozy and everything you would ask for in a camping experience. From our understanding, there are other lodging choices at Camp Brosius, but this worked best for us.
During the day, our girls were either part of the «Bucks» or «Warriors» groups, and were able to mix it up with kids of their own age. They enjoyed swimming, crafts, doing skits, boating, going on hikes and just being kids. It was exciting to watch them make new friends and try some things that they had never tried before. For example, my nine year old was thrilled to get up balanced on the paddle board and we shared a moment watching some of the wildlife after many of the others had gone to sleep.
For the parents, it is nice to have some «big kid» time and we were able to go off on our own adventures. We learned about cheese making and had an apple wine tasting on two tours not too far away from camp, and on another day, my wife and I played volleyball, participated in a ropes challenge course and embraced our inner Katniss on the archery field. But there were other times when we just took it easy and caught up on reading, bobbed along on a kayak or took a lake hike to Elkhart Lake, the little village across the way.
The week, while it zipped by, could be measured in those simple moments. The campfire songs, the talent show, joining together for any of the outstanding meals with our fellow campers.
Being IU graduates, it was fun to be part of a camp that is run by the University. However, there were families of all affiliations there — including our friends from Purdue. The rivalries were left at the gates — for the most part.
All in all, the week at Camp Brosius will go down as one of the best vacation experiences to date. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

We’ve been going to Camp Brosius for 3 years now, and I think we’ll be going there until all our kids are in college. It’s simply the best time you can have as a family on vacation. The counselors are great, and Wiley and his staff are terrific. The camp itself is beautiful as well.
If you have kids from 3 – 18, look into vacationing there. The cost is really reasonable, and I guarantee you’ll love it. Our kids start counting down the days to the next year as soon as we get in the car to leave.
