The Detroit Finnish Cooperative Summer Camp Association, fondly known as “Finn Camp”. The Detroit Finnish Cooperative Summer Camp Association was founded in 1925 by Finnish Americans living in the Detroit area. This ethnic force of identity prominent in Finns inspired the founders to find an area for recreation, social gatherings and personal growth. After a concerted and lengthy search, property

in Commerce Township (now the City of Wixom) was selected. Their choice in 1925 is now the good fortune of today’s membership and of future generations. With cooperation of these charter members and their families and with high enthusiasm, the arduous work began to clear the land build the sauna, summer kitchen and dance hall. Here they had their drama performances, athletic games, gymnastic festivals and picnics. Today these traditions are still followed by the second, third, fourth and fifth generations. Such as the annual Finn Fest celebration in August since 1976. The only requirement for membership are that a person be of good morale character, of Finnish descent. The Association is still founded on cooperative principles where all members are equally responsible for association operations, each contributing their own talent and skills.
