Summer Camp
What is it?
The Camp McFadden Summer Resident program was restarted in the the summer of 2009 when the McFadden family provided the Board of Directors an opportunity to open its doors to more children. Since that time the cabins, lodge and surrounding facilities have been filled with the sounds of hundreds of happy children's voices. The opportunity for campers to play and learn about the outdoors while making new friends in a safe and friendly environment is what it's all about. Check out our face book page to see some of last years activities!

Camp McFadden
This original sign was one of the only items brought to the new location when Kaw Lake was built in 1975. The other item sits over the fireplace in our lodge and commemorates the first year Camp McFadden was operational in 1927 as a Camp Fire Girls camp.
Flyover
This photo gives you a perspective of the layout of our cabins and lodge. A short walk to the water, Camp McFadden has about 250 acres and sits on the western shore of Kaw Lake, 2 miles from the dam and 8 miles east of Ponca City, Oklahoma.
Cabins
These cabins, 6 total, are for rent through out the year when Summer Camp is not in session, and share a common bath house. Each cabin has ten single beds and air conditioning. Recently remodeled they have new windows and insulation.
Summer Camp
During the heat of summer here in Oklahoma the Summer Campers spent countless hours in the waters of not just Kaw Lake but also our two ponds.
