BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Camp Nagiwa is where summer memories are made, where self confidence grows, and where life-long friendships begin! Staff members are trained to look beneath the surface of the children and youth in their care – to see potential, fears, and dreams. We believe in each camper’s unique ability to grow, to learn, to make new friends, and to discover their best selves. In a supportive, caring atmosphere, Camp Nagiwa campers and staff members take positive risks, learn life-long skills, and return home after a summer standing taller and singing louder.
SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPERS: We offer personalized special needs camp on a per-camper basis with extensive discussion with camper parents. We do our best to accommodate special needs campers, but we do not have the facilities or expertise to accommodate all campers with special needs.
