Camp Nebagamon

Updates

Meet the 2019 Staff!

We had an excellent year recruiting staff for the upcoming summer. Saying that we are proud of our 2019 staff lineup would be an understatement! Many of them have a wealth of experience working with kids and everyone is excited to continue the tradition of counseling amongst the tall pines! Their experiences vary from playing competitive futbol to creating amazing ceramic artwork. Whether they are from California, Memphis, River Falls, or France, they all have one common goal, to create an amazing experience for the 320 campers coming to camp this summer!

Please Remember to Return Camp Forms by May 15th!

With the 2019 camp season quickly approaching, we’d 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 packet containing the Parent Handbook and instructions for completing your camper forms. All the forms need to be submitted by May 15. If your doctor can’t schedule the physical exam until after May 15, that’s OK, but please shoot us an e-mail at briggs@campnebagamon.com to let us know. 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 18 for first session and eight-week campers, and June 16 for second session campers.) This information was mailed to you in April and can also be found in the Parent Handbook.
  • The camp office is moving to Lake Nebagamon on May 3 this year, and we expect to be up and running by May 7. After May 7, we can be reached at 715-374-2275.
  • Please make travel arrangements as early as possible. If you are using the Official Travel Agency of Camp Nebagamon, Travel One, contact them at 1-800-245-1111 and work with Liz Egge or Sonni Banks. If you are not using Travel One, we need to know your plans by the May 15 deadline.
