Camping Opportunities


Camp Wolverine
at Owasippe

Camp Wolverine is an Owasippe Scout Reservation camp located on 4,800 acres of wilderness in Western Michigan. The creek is a tributary of the White River and is completely surrounded by Owasippe’s boundaries. A dam on the creek forms the lake where Camp Wolverine is located. Lake Wolverine has a highly protected ecosystem that offers its visitors peaceful serenity. Our Scouts enjoy fishing, rowing, kayaking, and boating on this ecologically pure lake.

Camp Wolverine offers great programs in Scoutcraft, Handicraft, Shooting Sports, and Ecology/Conservation. The camp’s Aquatics program is done at the large swimming pool near the lodge, along with boating activities in Lake Wolverine. Camp Wolverine’s Pathfinder First Year Camper Program is also a popular option for new scouts!

Meal Options: Troops can choose “Hot Pack” meal service, where each meal is delivered to your site fully cooked and ready to serve or  troops can choose to eat meals in our Dining Tent. We will also offer an option to try both formats.

The camp has 25 sites with facilities that include hot water showers, wash stands, and flush toilets. The site locations are conducive to camping using the patrol method.
