Fall 2020 Nature Photo Contest

By Joe Briggs

You may have seen my features in this summer’s Arrowhead newsletters, showing off the wildlife and nature we have here at camp! With Adam Kaplan on the road for the next 6 weeks meeting with prospective new campers in parks, backyards, and patios; we thought it would be appropriate to give you a chance to show off where you live. From the coast of California to the trees of Central Park, we want to capture the word around you and share it with the camp family.

Please send us original (up to 3) photos for publishing in the December Arrowhead. Our favorite pictures will even win a prize!

Can You Name All The Languages?

By Louis Levin

There are 34 languages on our “This Shall Be A Place Of Welcome For All” sign (ok, 33 and one silly one!). This sign stands in front of the Big House, welcoming all who come to camp, and is translated into the native language of every camper and staff member who has spent a summer at Camp Nebagamon.

Think you can name all 34? Try our quiz here!

Rec Hall Scavenger Hunt!

By Louis Levin

Our storied Rec Hall is overflowing with awards, plaques, and relics. Perhaps the most interesting part is the fireplace mantle, home to countless treasures. Think you know all the plaques sitting above the fireplace?

Enrollment for the Summer of 2021 is Open!!!

As the most disappointing summer in Nebagamon’s history draws to a close, we are UNBELIEVABLY excited to get things moving towards the summer of 2021! We have learned from the successes, challenges, and even failures of camps around the country that were open this summer. By next year, we will have even more knowledge to ensure that we are able to provide a safe, fun and one-of-a-kind Camp Nebagamon summer. WE ARE FULL STEAM AHEAD FOR A GREAT SUMMER OF 2021!

Below you will find our dates and fees for the upcoming summer. Steph and I want to highlight a couple of items. If the COVID-19 situation requires it, we will adapt our session dates as needed. In addition, we may need to implement a surcharge for COVID-19 related expenses not normally incurred during a camp season, including but not limited to PPE, testing, additional cleaning supplies, vaccines, and additional staff. Any changes will be made in the spring once conditions have become more clear and will be communicated to you all as soon as possible.

We also want to mention that with the inclusion of the 2020 9th graders as an additional group at camp this coming summer, camper slots may fill up sooner than usualPlease note that those families who either rolled over money from their 2020 tuition to 2021 or made a donation to camp are guaranteed a spot for their son at camp in 2021. All other registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so we suggest that you enroll sooner rather than later this year to ensure your son’s spot. Even if you are one of those who are guaranteed a spot for next summer, it would be very helpful if you enrolled early so that we know how many spots are still available for other campers.

Our dates for 2021:

1st Session: June 21 – July 17
2nd Session: July 19 – August 14
8 Week Session: June 21 – August 14

Tuition for 2021 breaks out like this:

Cash Price (check, money order, or wire transfer):
4 week tuition: $6,300
8 week tuition: $11,200

Credit Card Price:
4 week tuition: $6,500
8 week tuition: $11,550

Click here to enroll your son(s) online. (You will be prompted for the CampInTouch login information you used to complete your son’s camper forms this spring.) If you have questions about how to do this, contact Joe Briggs at 208-345-5544.

We wanted to take just a minute to explain a bit about how things will be slightly different next summer due to the inclusion of 10th graders as campers (the boys that were set to be 9th grade campers in 2020). Basically, we view what happened this summer as the postponement of the summer of 2020 until 2021. This means that our 10th grade campers should expect largely what a 9th grade camper would have normally experienced in past summers (with the addition of some staff training opportunities since they will NOT be required to take an off-year before applying to become junior counselors). This means that our 9th grade campers should expect a summer typical to an 8th grade camper in past summers (yes, this means ISLE ROYALE!!!). Likewise, our 8th grade campers will spend their summer in the Axeman Village and reap all of the benefits and tripping opportunities typical for Axemen which they missed this summer…..and down the line it goes for each grade. We want to ensure that no boy misses out on any of the unique opportunities afforded to campers at each grade level. Please feel free to contact us with any questions on any of this.

Finally, we understand what a difficult year this has been for everyone, most of all our children. We are just so excited to bring them all up to camp next summer to give them the summer that they missed and are yearning for…a Camp Nebagamon summer with great friends, learning, growth, and unabashed Northwoods fun!

Campingly,
Adam and Steph
