At Camp Mákemáke, I Can Be Me

At Camp Mákemáke, every summer is much more than adventures and games—it’s a place where children can truly be themselves in a safe, close-knit, and supportive environment. It’s not just about the zipline, river tubing, or the blueberry farm—it’s about being part of a community where every child feels valued, respected, and connected.

Our camp fosters a strong and welcoming sense of community. Children learn to support one another, celebrate each other’s achievements, and share laughter and adventures without fear of being judged. This close-knit environment creates a space where everyone feels included, supported, and part of something special.

At Mákemáke, every child’s uniqueness is celebrated. Children can explore their talents, interests, and skills, express themselves freely, and feel fully accepted. Every personality, talent, and way of seeing the world has a place here.

Inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do. Every activity and game is designed so that everyone can participate, learn, and enjoy themselves. Children learn to respect differences, support each other, and appreciate diversity as something that enriches the experience for all. It’s a place where every voice matters, and every person counts.

Every day, we live by the Mákemáke Promise: “I respect myself, others, and the natural world.” This promise guides every camper to take care of themselves, their friends, and the environment, deepening their connection with nature and the people around them.

Being yourself at Camp Mákemáke means being able to laugh, play, explore, and express yourself freely. It means feeling safe to show your emotions, try new things even if they feel scary, and enjoy every moment without hiding who you are. Here, children learn that authenticity is powerful and that being part of a supportive community makes every experience even more meaningful.

Each day is an invitation to grow, be brave, and connect with others in a space full of respect, care, and fun. Children discover that being themselves, supporting others, and celebrating diversity is not only fun, but also creates memories that last a lifetime.

At Camp Mákemáke, I can be me. I can be unique, I can be heard, I can be accepted. And above all, I can be part of a community that celebrates the best in everyone. That’s the real magic of summer at Mákemáke.
