Summer Fun SINCE 1929

Committed to excellence for over 95 years, Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Scout Reservation (MSR) is a Nationally Accredited Scouting America Summer Camp.

Thousands of Scouts across the Midwest and the nation treasure memories of unforgettable summers at MSR. Located 25 miles north of Antigo in Pearson, Wisconsin, Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan stretches over 1,500 acres of beautiful forests, streams, and spring-fed lakes. Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan is home to two full-service camps: East Camp and West Camp. We also operate a High Adventure Base and Horse Ranch during the summer and have a wide variety of camping options designed to support your desired summer camp program.
