Camp will be for a week in June, July and August this summer, with both virtual and in-person fun.

July 21-25 and Aug. 18-22.

Mark your calendars. More information on activities for each date coming soon!

Camp Gillette's 2025 theme is “Explorer's of Minnesota.” It’s an ode and dedication to our beautiful state. We will be adventuring through Minnesota’s history in June, exploring the great outdoors of Minnesota in July and soaking up the joy of the Minnesota State Fair in August! You can watch all our virtual camp events for the Gillette YouTube page. 

Virtual events will be archived on our YouTube page and shared on our Facebook page as well.
