Camp Horseshoe is a summer camp for boys located in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. The camp was started in 1932 by Maurice Arthur Hirshberg ("Doc H") and Al Engelhardt, both of them were co-directors until the latter left its leadership to the former. In 1990, the camp closed, but in 2004, it was reopened by former camper Jordan Shiner and his wife Fran, who currently own and operate it.^[when?] Camp Horseshoe offers activities such as sailing, skiing, basketball, volleyball, and tramp-ball (four square on trampolines).

The campers at Camp Horseshoe are boys ages 8–18.^[1] The groups which these ages are referred under range from “Pioneers” to “Cabin 14ers.” The campers play in leagues (big and small) after participating in a combine and then a draft by league coaches. League teams compete in sporting events ranging from soccer to flag football (big leagues) and from basketball to tramp-ball (small leagues).

In the activities as stated above, campers may try and complete a tradition called Na Ta Ne, where campers complete activities (i.e., volleyball, tramp-ball, basketball hypothetically) which earns them certain amounts of points depending on the activity with the goal of Na Ta Ne being to obtain 150 points. If these points are earned, the camper is inducted into a Na Ta Ne family, such as Bear, Sun, Elk, Dancer, Wolf, Sage, Friend, Fire, Falcon, Eagle, Bobcat, Bison, Moon, Star, Spruce, Sky, or River Family, among others.

Every new camper has a "big brother" and a medallion that he can add to after achieving Na Ta Ne. After a camper obtains Na Ta Ne, they can try to complete “Golden Horseshoe” where they will have their name appear on plaques in the Mess Hall and receive an adjective before their Na Te Ne family name (i.e., “Joyful Sun”).

Horseshoe sings songs such as "Hail to the Forest" and "Taps", particularly when competitive events like Shoe Madness and Green/Blue are held. Shoe Madness has 10 teams (colleges) that compete for a mess hall plaque in many events.^{[further explanation needed]} Green/Blue (Second Session) includes sporting events and a relay race at the end with two competing teams, Green and Blue. ^{[citation needed]}Another tradition by the camp is a newspaper sent out every year called the Horseshoe Review.^[2]

Camp Horseshoe is a member of the American Camp Association.^[3]
