For over 115 years, COA has provided transformative camp experiences for hundreds of Milwaukee’s youth at COA’s Camp Helen Brachman (CHB), located in central Wisconsin. Trained camp counselors provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment for all campers to enjoy the wonders of nature, try new things, and make new, lifelong friends during summer camp. Camp Helen Brachman is the longest-serving camp in Wisconsin’s history!

COA Camp Helen Brachman is a 206-acre facility located 150 miles northwest of Milwaukee in Almond, Wisconsin. Pickerel Lake, located at the heart of camp, is the focal point for many beautiful views and fun activities! There are also prairie, pine, and hardwood forests, 3.8 miles of hiking trails, a main lodge and program hall, a library, cabins, sports fields, and basketball courts.
