Wentz Swimming Pool

Take a dip in a true piece of Ponca City history at the Lew Wentz Swimming Pool, built in 1928 by oilman Lew Wentz overlooking Lake Ponca. This impressive Olympic-sized pool features a distinctive diving area and is surrounded by the camp's charming castle-shaped stone cabins, with original 1930s locker rooms and a sand filtration system still tucked beneath the deck. The pool typically opens for the season around Memorial Day, offering a refreshing, nostalgic place for families to cool off all summer long. It's a beloved local landmark that pairs classic 1920s craftsmanship with simple summertime fun.
