Camp Phalen: Day Campers

Camp Phalen: Session 1
Get ready for a summer adventure that delivers a Minnesota "Up-North" day camp that brings lake life right to the city. Nestled on the pristine shores of Lake Phalen, this camp offers kids a chance to unplug, explore, and making lasting memories and friendships.
Campers will paddle, splash and recreate every day in the water. At and around the Phalen cabin, campers will connect with nature through guided hikes, wildlife observation, and hands on environmental learning. Campers will gain confidence and independence while learning traditional outdoor skills.
Camp Phalen offers the perfect mix of fun, friendship, and discovery. Whether it’s your camper’s first outdoor adventure or a return to their favorite summer traditions, Camp Phalen is where the spirit of the Minnesota’s North woods meets the city.
