★★★★★Sean MichalekCamp Zanika Lache is a beautiful small summer camp sequestered within the Washington Cascades. Nestled next to Lake Wenatchee it gives beautiful sights of Mountains and the lake. It's a very rustic camp, due to it being built on Forest Service Land and the limited actions Camp Fire North Central Washington (NCW) can take to update the camp. Staff are as accommodating as they can be and are a lot of fun to be around. Your kids will enjoy being here.
★★★★★MilesI was here a few years ago for the season. It is a nice camp in a beautiful location. I recommend considering coming here.
★★★★★Chef HallThere aren't enough stars on here to suffice for the experience I had at Camp Zanika. This place is magical. Like something from a fairy tail. Words cannot explain the experience I had here. I recommend Camp Zanika to anyone looking to give their child a summer experience they will never forget and will be begging for more of.
★★★★★C PerryThis is an amazing summer camp that has been around since the 1930s. It's a great place to work in the summer and an even better place to send your kids for a week of summer camp. They also offer off-season rentals.
★★★★★Robin SchultzThis is the best camp. My grand daughter says it is so much better than the Y camp and will only go to Camp Zanika Lache. This is her lake and the steps she helped build.
