★★★★★Charlie GilliganTruly one of the absolute best places in the world. The one regret about this place is that I didn't go sooner. This is the absolute best camp in the world.
★★★★★T CSent my shy, geeky son here and he came back resilient, happy, into windsurfing and excited about life. This camp is very, very special. Kids get to decide what they do every day, the food is good, the staff are caringg and empowering and the location is stunning. There’s a bus from Chicago, but they also helped with transportation pickups from airports. Wish I’d known about it sooner.
★★★★★Angela PortuguesMy son loves camp nebagamon. This will be his fourth year in July. All year long he looks forward to going back. It's a place where boys can have fun without the restraint of technology. l appreciate that. The staff are so brave, but they do a very good job at keeping are kids safe and happy.
★★★★★Ami PolonskyCamp Nebagamon is a nurturing second home that my son LOVES. It is a non-competitive camp that encourages kindness and independence, and facilitates life-long friendships. It is a place where the boys can be the best versions of themselves. HIGHLY recommended!
★★★★★Diana BlaneyAdventure, confidence, leadership, friendship and memories that will last a lifetime best describe the gift that is Camp Nebagamon. Our two boys couldn't be more different - one quiet, nature-loving, serious - the other outgoing, active, competitive - but they both love Camp Nebagamon. The staff supports them as they take risks, build skills and have fun.
