Our History
Founded in 1946, Camp Taum Sauk has been owned and operated by the Smith family since 1958. Nick Smith, as the camp director, continues his family’s legacy by applying years of experience to develop a unique summer camp with a driving concern for safety and an emphasis on individual care and child development.
Nick's wife Suzy grew up attending Camp Taum Sauk and draws on her own camp experiences to nurture the campers and staff. Nick and Suzy’s three children grew up at camp and are now the new generation of camp leaders.
