Camp Nebagamon

Camp Nebagamon aims to develop character and community by creating a space where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to become their authentic selves. Nebagamon is a technology free, group living experience in the Northwoods of Wisconsin featuring daily activity choice and robust wilderness tripping adventures. Partnering with parents, campers, well-trained staff and mentors, Nebagamon teaches boys independence, lifelong skills, enduring friendships, empathy, inclusivity, and a love of the outdoors.

At Camp Nebagamon we believe in the power of autonomy, experiences in the outdoors, and community to change lives. We’ve provided life-changing summers for boys on the shores of Lake Nebagamon in Wisconsin since 1929.

At Nebagamon there are no pre-assigned activities. Every day campers design their schedule choosing from twenty different activities. This ability to choose empowers campers to explore existing passions and take safe risks, allowing them to discover new ones.

Nebagamon offers an extensive wilderness tripping program ranging from introductory trips to three-week long expeditions. Campers traverse stunning Northwoods destinations. Spending unfettered time in the wilderness with friends, they gain confidence, develop grit, and recognize how capable they are.

And it all happens in a community where campers are seen and are appreciated for who they are. A community that values acts of kindness and celebrates empathy.
