Camp Webb is a camp program run by the Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee.

Programs include week long sessions for campers age 7-17, including a Senior High program for high school students, and shortened sessions for younger campers.

The program began at Neshota House in 1960, but was moved in 1962 to a new 160 acre site on the shores of Little Hills Lake near Wautoma, Wisconsin, formerly known as Woodcraft Camp. Here, at "God's lake-front home" generations of campers and staff enjoyed Christian fellowship, growth and community for 46 years[1] until the Diocese of Milwaukee sold this site for $1.7 million in 2008.[2] The Little Hills Lake property is now run as a private camp called Camp Lakotah.[3]

Since 2009 the Diocese has run a scaled back camping program renting facilities at various summer camps in Wisconsin for 2–3 weeks at a time.[4]
