The program at Nebagamon is designed to offer a tremendous variety of activities that provide our campers with opportunities to both expand on skills they already have, as well as discover new talents and passions. Our activities are designed to be, for the most part, lifetime skills. That is to say they are activities that the boys will be able to enjoy from ages eight through eighty.
On a typical day at Nebagamon, there are four project periods. Campers get to choose their activities on a daily basis. To help guide them, before summer starts, parents and campers will fill out an activity preference form in order to identify which skills the camper would like to work on. During the summer, the cabin counselors will work with each camper to achieve those goals. The beauty of being able to choose one's own schedule is that the camper can try lots of new things, discover new interests, and then focus on those activities which he loves most.
We recognize that young people have different interests, and Nebagamon enables an individual to pursue the ones most appealing to him. We care not whether a boy is proficient at serving a tennis ball, cooking an omelet, or paddling a canoe. Our goal for every camper is that he enjoys participating, achieves competency, and feels a sense of accomplishment.
