Tanuga is deeply committed to the philosophy of a traditional camping experience. Values, as depicted by our respect for nature, the enviornment, and the development of accepting others for who they are, stand out in our mission. Our objective for each camper is to build self-confidence, develop a cohesive family feeling and create the assurance of belonging.



The sense of accomplishment and confidence that develop each summer, carry over throughout the year into the camper’s classrooms, future relationships, and during periods of difficult transitions into adulthood.

Through the Tanuga experience and with the assistance of our dedicated staff, campers are able to attain these attributes. Tanuga encourages campers and staff alike to get to know one another and accept each individual for who they are. Strong friendships and respect for one another evolve, and personal accomplishments are reached. That’s when the “Tanuga Magic” truly happens, we’ve been told that the magic lasts a lifetime.
