Ajawah News

Summer 2025 Registration now open!

We are excited for another summer of fun and friendship at Ajawah. Dates and rates for summer 2025 sessions can be found on the boys/girls camp pages as well as the registration page. New this year we have the option of a 1 week boys session that overlaps Boys 2 – arrive at the same time, but depart the first Friday vs staying for the full 2 weeks. This is designed to give families with summer plans prior to school starting up some more options.

Double Fun for Boys Session 2 Repeat Campers!

Girls 1, Girls 2, and Boys 1 all filled up this year, but we have bunks waiting for campers in Boys Session 2. To help fill those bunks, we are offering a reduced price of $325 to campers who have been in Session 1. (You only have to do the medical forms once!) We will make adjustments to accounts where families paid in full for both sessions already.

Boys Session 2 runs from July 28 through August 9, so starting school shouldn’t get in the way.

You can sign up now at the Register Link!

For Boys going to just session 2, rates for the 2 week session are unchanged at $650, with $160 deposit due at registration.     Boys session remainder charges will be billed in July.

2024 Friends and Family Program!

Since Camp Ajawah’s inception over 100 years ago, we have had generations of families attend Ajawah year after year. To celebrate this, we are excited to announce our new Friends and Family Referral Program for 2024!

For every first-time camper who is referred to Ajawah by a current camper (i.e. one who has attended Ajawah prior to this summer), both referred and referring campers will receive 10% off of their Ajawah registration fee. Further, each current camper may refer up to 5 first-time campers, for a total of 50% off their registration fee!*

To receive this discount, both the referring and the first-time referred camper must attend a camp session this summer, though it doesn’t have to be the same one. Both campers complete this short (~ 1 minute) form, which will go to the registrar. All forms are due by September 15, 2024. 

Please spread the word! We’re excited to have new members in the Ajawah family.

*Discount will be applied as a reimbursement, after all Summer 2024 camp sessions are completed.

If you have questions, please reach out to Julie, our Camp Ajawah registrar, at ajawah@wpc-mpls.org

Summer

Greetings, Ajawah campers and friends! 

We are gearing up to open registration on March 1st, 2022 at 5pm!

It was wonderful to welcome campers back to Ajawah last year and we look forward to seeing even more of you this summer!  We are excited to be on the journey back to our traditional sessions/programming with loosening some of our COVID restrictions. With that being our intention, here are some things to note: 

This year, we will have six sessions: 

Girls’ One: June 19-24 (one week)

Girls’ Two: June 26-July 1 (one week)

Girls’ Three: July 3-July 15 (two weeks)

Boys’ One: July 17-22 (one week)

Boys’ Two: July 24-29 (one week) 

Boys’ Three: July 31-12 (two weeks)

Cost of camp: 

One-week sessions: $375

Two-week sessions: $625

Camperships are available! 

We will allow four campers per tent, so space is not yet at full capacity. Please register as soon as you can to ensure your camper has a spot. 

We would respectfully ask that for now, you not sign up for more than two total weeks, to allow more interested campers the opportunity to attend since we are not back to full capacity yet. Please email us if your camper would like to attend more than two weeks so we can put you on a wait list.

COVID recommendations are changing all the time, so we anticipate needing to adjust our protocols as recommendations change, but please expect to show a negative PCR test on the first day of your camper’s session. Vaccinations are strongly recommended. 

If your campers are like us, we can’t wait to get to back to camp – so join us on March 1st at 5pm to celebrate opening up camp registration with a party on the Camp Ajawah Minecraft server!  We’ll have staff and counselors joined and welcoming all our minecraft-savvy campers to explore camp virtualy while we wait to see you this summer!  Details on Minecraft versions and what you need to join can be found here https://www.ajawah.org/ajawah-minecraft-server/ We look forward to seeing you March 1st!    

Looking forward to a great 2022 at Ajawah!!

Updates on Session Openings and COVID Protocols

Campers Update – Packing List

Greetings Camp Ajawah Family!

We are excited to count down the weeks to camp!   Girl’s sessions are almost full, and Boys continue to get new sign-ups, so if your camper has friends thinking of going this summer, they should sign up now!   As we get closer to the start, we will send along important information to help you prepare for a great summer camp experience.  For campers who requested multiple sessions we will be processing those to fill any remaining camp vacancies in early May.

**General Reminder – 3-5 days before camp begins session campers will be required to complete a COVID test (must be a PCR test). You can find information on the MDH website for locations of free community testing sites or speak to your primary care provider for options. https://mn.gov/covid19/get-tested/testing-locations/index.jsp

**Our drop-off and pick-up procedures have changed for this year to minimize group sizes at check-in and departure.   More information on the details for those days will be provided in the next several weeks.

**Here is the link for the 2021 camper packing list. 

**Of particular note is mosquito netting to cover your camper’s cot, which can be hard to find closer to the start of summer.  The list includes possible sources to buy mosquito nets.

The “Countdown to camp” is on!
