CAMP GETSCHOW

 
 

Established in 1948 exclusively for Glenwood students, Camp Getschow gives students the opportunity to develop or enhance their outdoor camping and recreational interests, experiences and abilities in a safe, fun and structured environment. Camp Getschow is located on 180 heavily wooded acres on Blaisdell Lake in Loretta, Wisconsin, near the Chequamegon National Forest. It is an ideal place to enjoy archery, swimming, sailing, canoeing, fishing, boating, indoor and outdoor sports, Native American folklore and hiking, plus evening activities that promote teamwork and sportsmanship.

Camp facilities include 10 cabins, a dining hall, gymnasium, lodge, health center, plus staff, guest, laundry, and storage and maintenance buildings. Campers pay only their regular monthly tuition. Camp Getschow staff includes the Camp Director, Program staff, Water Safety and Nursing staff as well as an international counseling staff, from the Camp America program, which helps Glenwood campers learn first hand about diversity and interact with people from many different cultures.

Each student is expected to attend Camp Getschow for at least one Camp period while they are enrolled at Glenwood School.
