Camp Tecumseh continues to expand and improve every year!
The Kampen Lodge activity center now under construction will allow campers warm,
indoor space for climbing, archery, drama, dance, games, creative
arts, chapel services, and much more. This 17,000 square foot
facility will be the activity center of the Lake Village, and its impressive presence next to Scheumann Lodge will make it
one of camp's prominent landmarks.
