Dear Tanuga Families,
We are proud to announce an exciting update - Camp Tanuga’s leadership team is in place for the upcoming season, ensuring that our cherished traditions not only continue but thrive for generations to come!
First and foremost, we want to be clear: Cody & Sid are not going anywhere! Having been together as Camp’s owners and directors for the past 33 years, we are totally committed to Tanuga, to the campers, to our staff members, to the Manistee lake community and to doing whatever we can to leave camp better than we found it for many years and generations to come. Camp Tanuga is truly our life’s work; we intend to see this through completely.
With this in mind, we have enthusiastically agreed to usher in two new younger owners/directors who bring with them fresh energy, ideas, and a deep passion for preserving and evolving the Tanuga legacy.
We are also excited to welcome back several members of our incredible 2024 administrative team. Their knowledge and dedication will play a key role in guiding and mentoring the future new directors, ensuring a seamless transition while building a bridge to an even brighter future.
We understand that change can bring uncertainty, especially for our returning families who may have questions about what lies ahead. Rest assured, our commitment is unwavering: Tanuga’s traditions, spirit, and sense of community will remain central to everything we do. This is not a departure from the Tanuga you know and love—it’s a renewal and a celebration of its potential to grow and flourish.
This announcement is the first of many as we roll out details about the new directors, the exciting additions to our program, and the timeline for these developments. We can’t wait to share more in the coming weeks, and we invite you to be part of this journey.
For our returning families, we encourage you to feel confident and excited about the enrollment of your campers for this historic season, and to new families, we welcome you to explore the magic of Camp Tanuga and discover why it has meant so much to so many for so long.
Mark your calendar and join us for an exciting livestream: “Tanuga Talks: Embracing the Future” hosted by Tanuga Legend Dan “The Man” Leach on Wednesday, February 26, at 8:00pm EST! Tune in by visiting our Tanuga Youtube, Facebook or Instagram.
Let’s come together to kick off the journey toward an unforgettable 2025 a season! Don’t miss it!
With gratitude and excitement,
Sid, Cody, and the 2025 Team
