alumni visits
There is no better place to celebrate the joy of camping than at the camps themselves
After an incredibly successful summer full of celebration, we are excited to announce that Camp Kooch-i-ching and Ogichi Daa Kwe will now be hosting alumni visits each summer for the next few years. These will be filled with big meals, guided tours, and opportunities to share stories and catch up with the camp community. Most importantly, we will come together to celebrate the memories, friendships, and experiences that have made our camps so special. We can’t wait to welcome back all of our alumni and friends for these unforgettable reunions!
2025 Dates
First Session: July 10 - July 12
Second Session: August 7 - 10
2025 Schedules
We hope you will join us on Rainy Lake at the end of either first session or second session of camp. The Foundation House will serve as “alumni central” with merchandise for sale, and snacks and beverages from 9am to 5pm. Please, use the RSVP button above to let us know if you plan on stopping by this summer!
Top Lodging Options
Since both camps will be at full capacity this summer, we won’t be able to have alumni or parents stay at either camp, or eat in either of the camp’s dining halls. While we’d love to be able to allow it, capacity and other factors simply prevent it.
The following hotels are in the International Falls area and are convenient options to stay at while visiting either camp.
