Camp Asto Wamah was founded in 1910 by the First Church of Christ in Hartford, UCC (Center Church). For nearly 100 years, the camp has provided boys and girls with an experience designed to promote independence while exposing them to a variety of challenging and adventurous activities in a supervised and structured environment. The highest ideals of cooperative living are encouraged in this community of respect. Since the establishment of Asto Wamah, its motto has been Remember the Other Fellow.

Located on the shore of Columbia Lake, Asto Wamah enjoys a woodland setting. The main building is the Lodge which houses arts and crafts and recreation areas. The camp kitchen along with a wide porch for dining comprise the upper level. The Lodge provides the central gathering place for many camp activities. A building completed in 1976 has a large activity room which allows for rainy day programming. Campers and counselors live in screened bunkhouses. The waterfront has a main dock and two floats, one with a 20foot diving tower for advanced swimmers. For the beginning swimmer, there is a clean graded beach.

Asto Wamah has an excellent reputation for its tempting, well balanced meals. Ask any former camper what he or she liked most about Camp and they may say the food. Menus include fresh fruits in season, carefully selected meats and vegetables. The camp drinking water is state tested and approved.
