In addition to the scenic landscape and rustic facilities, Camp Louemma offers a brand-new Olympic size, heated swimming pool with water slides, kayaks and paddles for lake use, a variety of indoor and outdoor sports courts and fields, mini-golf course, playground, performing arts amphitheater, and more.
