ABOUT CAMP SAUKENAUK

September 15, 2012 · by saukenaukpreservationsociety

SaukenaukCamp Illini (referred to as the Main Side) is designed for Boy Scout Troop long-tern Camp (summer camp) with a dining hall and all the other program areas needed for a summer camp program. These areas include a 40 acres lake with swimming beach and boathouse. A rifle range, health lodge, chapel, trading post, shower house and 10 campsites are some of the other features of this camp. 

Camp Illiniwek (referred to as the Jambo Side) is covered with beautiful, huge pines. It was originally designed for troops wishing to do their own cooking. There are seven campsites. Many troops enjoy staying on the Jambo Side of the lake and walking to the main side for meals and program. 

The rest of Saukenauk is set aside as Camp Iroquois (outside camping) and the Explorer High Adventure Area, all within easy walking distance. Both of these areas are unimproved by man and retain the grandeur and attractiveness of an ancient Eastern Hardwood forest.
