In the language of the Chippewa Indians, Camp Nawakwa means camp by the water, and that it is! Surrounding beautiful Picnic Lake, a 25 acre, soft water lake, the 209 acre camp 10 miles Northwest of Cornell, Wisconsin is owned and operated by the Girl Scouts of Indian Waters Council in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

The Hobbs building houses the dining hall and all-camp kitchen upstairs, a large multi-purpose room and storm shelter downstairs, and the camp store, the health center, and the offices.

There is also a nature center, an arts & crafts building, and a beautiful old lodge with a fireplace. The outdoor amphitheater overlooks the lake, and at The Flats, there is a large campfire area and a game field. At the lifeguard-staffed waterfront is a roped-in swimming area, a dock, and various watercraft for campers and counselors to use.
