Welcome to Camp Hiawatha: A literary journal featuring poems and short fiction related to the theme of camping. Our name is inspired by the Hiawatha National Forest in northern Michigan. The Camp Hiawatha editorial team is currently crafting a physical, pocket-sized chapbook for distribution at campgrounds and outdoor organizations across the country for our 2026 Words for the Wild project. Accepted authors will be notified by August 30th, 2026. Publication Schedule:  Early winter 2027. Please watch this page for updates.

See below for Camp Hiawatha’s digital archives. We’ll see you around the campfire.
