The Roadshow is On!

Adam is hitting the road this month visiting prospective campers across the country! In order to make these meetings comfortable for everyone, he will be doing all of his travel prior to the weather turning cold so that he can meet families outdoors if they prefer. If you or someone you may be interested in sending their son(s) to Camp Nebagamon, please let Adam know by email (adam@campnebagamon.com) or call him at 208-345-5544. Our current families are our best source of new campers!

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 21st. 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:

  • Cabin Preference Form: We need this information within the next few days in order to work on cabin placement before the season begins.
  • 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 prescription 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.

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 pre-pay baggage fees for your son’s return flight. This has changed from recent years and now includes Delta Airlines. (Please note that if for some reason the airline does not allow you to pre-pay, we will pay the fees on the return trip and charge your son’s spending money account.)

If you need to ship bags to camp, please notify Briggs ahead of time and send them at least one week prior to your son’s arrival at camp. Camp’s physical address (needed for any UPS/FedEx deliveries) is 11454 Camp Nebagamon Dr, Lake Nebagamon, WI 54849. Please note that if you also want the luggage shipped home at the end of the camp season, it is simplest for our office (and our local UPS & FedEx drivers) if you can mail to Briggs’s attention at camp (briggs@campnebagamon.com) completed FedEx/UPS tags or forms. (Please note that due to limited storage space at camp, and our arrangement with the MSP airport, we do urge you to check bags on the trip home if possible, especially on Delta Airlines.)

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 800-245-1111. Please ask for Sonni Banks. 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.

Run the Dragin’ Tail 5 Mile This Summer!

Fornear finishing up a job with the LNVFD in his superhero suit ?

Great News!!! The Lake Nebagamon Volunteer Fire Department’s Dragin’ Tail Run/Walk returns this summer! Every season for many years running (ha!) our staff and campers take to the starting line of the fun run in downtown Lake Nebagamon. It’s a hoot to run in, and even cooler to participate in a big event in our community. Fornear knows first hand that the monies raised from this great race get used for equipment at the fire department, as he’s been on the volunteer fire department for the past 15 years. It’s a wonderful cause that we love supporting

This year, the LNVFD is adding a virtual option for the Dragin’ Tail Run/Walk. We will be running the race on the camp property this summer and we would encourage any and all parents and alumni to join us on July 3rd! To top it all off, if you register for the run, the fire department will send you a race bib and a 2021 race shirt (the sweet one with the dragon on it!). Over the years, the Dragin’ Tail shirt has become in a way the unofficial Camp Nebagamon t-shirt.

Campers who want to participate will signup at camp, and all camp parents or alumni who want to join in the race can sign up at the link here.

We hope you join us in running the Dragin’ Tail this year, and support an awesome organization! Thanks for signing up!

Support a great cause and get a sweet shirt, like this one from 1998!

Please Remember To Return Camp Forms By May 15th!

With the 2021 camp season quickly approaching, we would like to issue a few reminders that will help to answer questions and make the transition into camp run as smoothly as possible.

  • All families should have received our email containing the instructions for completing your camper forms. All the forms need to be submitted by May 15. You can access your forms here. If your doctor cannot schedule the physical exam until after May 15, that is OK, but please complete the health history form ASAP. We read every form in its entirety, and the information helps us provide a fun and healthy summer for each camper. Please be diligent in filling them out.
  • If your son will be using any daily medication in pill form, please note the due dates for CampMeds, a prepackaged medication service. (May 21 for first session and eight-week campers, and June 19 for second session campers.) This information can be found with the rest of the online forms here.
  • Please make travel arrangements as early as possible. If you are using the Official Travel Agency of Camp Nebagamon, Travel One, contact them at 1-952-854-2551.
