Summer camps have been held at "Dainava" since the
early 1960's when the Lithuanian Roman Catholic Federation of
America purchased the 225 acre site. Camp
Dainava's location within convenient driving distances from Detroit, Chicago, Toronto,
Hamilton, and Cleveland have made it a popular location for Lithuanian summer camps and
off-season retreats.
Located in the Irish Hills of southern Michigan, Dainava boasts a
5-acre lake called "Spyglys" or Thorn Lake, a rolling topography and impressive
oak and pine forests. A natural ampitheater is the site of numerous evening bonfires
or "lau�ai". Campers live in either the girls or the boys barracks or in
the "White House". Off-season accomodations are limited to the heated
"White House"
