Camp Miakonda, which means “crescent moon”, will be the location of the 2014 Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist State Conference.  Located in northwest Ohio, the camp was purchased and built in 1917 and serves as a Boy Scout Camp.  It is the 6th oldest scout camp in the United States and was once the site of the world’s longest swimming pool.  The pool was spring fed and was 480 feet long!  Many of the camp’s facilities were built during the Great Depression by the federal government as works projects.  Camp Miakonda’s Lake Sawyer was one of these projects.  This along with the surrounding natural areas allow for great wildlife viewing.

The on-site, overnight accommodations are the camp’s rustic cabins featuring dormitory-style lodging.  Those staying in the cabins will need to provide their own bedding, pillow and towels.  A dining hall is also on site.  Tent camping is available.

G-E-M-S is an acronym for Great Black Swamp, Erie Marshlands, Maumee River Community, and Savannas and Prairies.
