Campers

You have a lot of things competing for your summer - soccer, basketball, swim team, family vacation, 'hang time' with friends, student travel. If you're checking out overnight camps presumably you're looking to get out of school mode, do something different, meet cool people and make your summer a memorable one.

Nor'wester has been providing memorable summers for 1000's of kids for over 70 years. Our program is focused on getting outside, living with simple comforts, and doing things that require less technology and more personal effort. Our activities are pretty traditional: arts and crafts, drama, archery, and ropes course, with lots of outdoor activities like sailing, kayaking, hiking and overnight camping trips. What we don't have is computers or academics. You don't have to be the smartest, fastest, tallest or coolest to come to Nor'wester. You just have to be willing to leave the cushy life behind for a while, try something out of the ordinary, meet new people and have fun.

Our Program page will give you a great overview of our activities and our Frequently Asked Questions should help you learn more about how we operate. We hope that you'll consider Nor'wester for the upcoming summer. Besides getting away from home and having fun at some great activities you may meet people who will become some of your closest friends. It happens all the time!
