Camp Tanuga is a residential summer camp located near Kalkaska, MI.
This summer we are planning to run a seven-week program that accommodates for the COVID-19 virus. Staff will arrive 2 weeks prior to the campers.
While we hope that Covid protocols are no longer in play, staff should expect to adhere to any state / local health care guidelines.
All of these restrictions are subject to change based on current conditions.
