Important Information Regarding Camper Luggage and Travel

LUGGAGE TAGS:

These should be firmly attached to every bag a camper brings with him, whether it is being checked in, carried on an airplane, or taken on the Chicago bus. This applies to everyone, regardless of airline or travel arrangements to camp. It is important that we, and airline personnel, are able to identify all baggage by the yellow Camp Nebagamon tags.

DUFFEL BAGS/LUGGAGE:

ALL Airlines: Please be sure your bags fit the airline requirements for size and weight. The total length, width, and height combined must not exceed 62 inches (158 cm), and the maximum weight is 50 pounds. Airlines will charge camp for any overweight or oversized baggage and we will unfortunately have to add these charges to your son’s spending money account.

If you want to ship bags to/from camp, we recommend using ShipCamps. Please see www.shipcamps.com/campnebagamon, or call ShipCamps at (855)-540-2267. You can also arrange to send bags directly to/from camp via FedEx or UPS. Camp’s physical address (needed for any UPS/FedEx deliveries) is 11454 Camp Nebagamon Dr, Lake Nebagamon, WI 54849. If you make your own FedEx or UPS baggage shipment arrangements, please let Larry know at larry@campnebabgamon.com and send the return tags to Larry’s attention at camp using the above address as well.

CAMPERS TRAVELING VIA AIRPLANE:

If you are booking your tickets through our travel agent, Travel One, any questions about airline tickets should be directed to Travel One at 952-854-2551. Travel One issues electronic tickets for each camper, so do not worry about receiving a paper ticket for your child. If you are arranging travel independently, please submit the information via the online transportation form.

Please Remember To Complete Your Camper Forms!

With camp just around the corner, our office has been busy checking in forms and getting ready for the first round of campers to arrive on June 18th. Regardless of which session your child is attending at camp, please submit his required paperwork if you have not already done so.

Please make sure the following items are completed as soon as possible:

*Doctor’s Orders: A form signed by a doctor authorizing camp to administer daily over the counter supplements, vitamins, over the counter (OTC) medicines. These must be filled through CampMeds.

*Health History Form: Parents, make sure to complete all sections of this form (including medications and vaccination records) so that we are able to accurately understand your camper’s health history and prepare for his arrival. If your child needs daily medications, please place your order with CampMeds, Inc. at www.campmeds.com. The ordering deadline is 30 days prior to your son’s arrival at camp.

*Physician’s Examination Form: We need paperwork showing that your son has received a physical exam within the past 12 months. You may download our physician’s examination form for your child’s doctor to complete or submit a copy of similar documentation from the doctor’s office. Please note that any immunization records provided by your doctor should also be entered in your son’s online health history form by you.

*Medical Treatment Authorization Form: This form MUST be signed by a parent/guardian prior to camper arrivals. A copy of his health insurance card should also be attached.

*Objectives & Personality Form: This information helps our counselors prepare to guide your son towards completing a happy and productive summer. You may also email a more detailed letter to his counselors at info@campnebagamon.com. Last, but not least, when you have logged in to the camper forms system, make sure YOUR contact information is up-to-date and that you have listed two emergency contacts besides a parent/guardian. You may do so by clicking on “Update Addresses/Phone Numbers” under the Your Family section.

 

P.S. We’ve had a few parents reach out and ask about visiting their sons at camp this summer — our suggested visting days this year are July 6-7 and July 26-27. For more information, reach out to the camp office.

Congratulations Alumni Cohort Challenge Winners!

By Katie Cukerbaum

As we wrap up our Spring Camperships Fundraiser and Alumni Cohort Challenge, we want to extend our thanks to the entire Camp Family for making this effort such a success.

Because of your generosity, more boys will have the opportunity to experience a summer at Camp Nebagamon, building friendships, trying new things, challenging themselves, and becoming part of a community that lasts a lifetime. With so many important causes to support, we are especially grateful for your belief in the impact camp can have on a camper’s life.

Our first Alumni Cohort Challenge brought a fun and competitive spirit, with strong representation from every decade. It was great to see so many cohorts show up in support of Camperships—something that feels very true to this community.

And now, the results:

Cohort with the Highest Alumni Participation
A three-way tie!

  • 1980
  • 1983
  • 2007

Cohort with the Highest Total Given to Camperships

  • 2007

Cabin with the highest alumni participation in a single year

  • Two-way tie between 1980 Voyageur and 1983 Voyageur!

Honorable Mention
1976, second place in both participation and total given!

We also saw great representation from many other cohorts, including ‘59, ‘62, ‘65, ‘67, ‘69, ‘72, ‘77, ‘79, ‘84, ‘85, ‘86, ‘94, ‘98, ‘00, ‘02, ‘03, ‘04, ‘05, and ‘08, ‘11, ‘16, ‘18, and ‘19!

Congratulations to the winners! And thank you again—from all of us at Camp—to everyone who gave in support of Camperships. We look forward to sharing more updates on the continued success of the program, made possible by the generosity of our Camp community.

He is driven, detail oriented, and committed to ensuring that all possible steps are taken to provide our campers with the best experience possible. Cody leads by example. In his tenure as Kitchen Manager he has fostered a fun, welcoming environment in the kitchen by bringing his kindness and witty sense of humor with him to the Rec Hall every day.

If you know Cody, you know that he will work thoughtfully to progress our mission.
