Camp Helen Brachman

A 206-acre parcel of land near Waupaca became COA’s Camp Helen Brachman in 1990. Year-round, children and families enjoy camping experiences, lakefront watersports, hiking trails, and use of 37 buildings which include a dining hall, nine cabins, arts center, and separate Teen Camp.

Administrative Building

Our administrative building, located on North Avenue, is where COA is headquartered. We have been located in Milwaukee since 1906. Many members of our staff are housed here, and most board meetings take place in this building. Many of our programs began in this building before being moved to the Riverwest Center down the street.
