NorthBay
Residential coed summer camp
NorthBay's mission is to teach young people that their actions and attitudes have a lasting impact on their future, the environment and the people around them. During the day, campers receive instruction on three skills. Those skills include Arts and Crafts, Archery, Dance, Drama, Cooking, Extreme Science, Filmmaking, Land Sports, Mountain Biking, Mountaineering, Paddling, Pioneering, Rock climbing, Sailing, Swimming, Wilderness Living and Waterskiing/Wakeboarding.
After skill sessions are done, campers reconnect with their cabin mates and participate in an adventure activity. Adventure activities include our 80 foot high ropes course, water/land zip lines, indoor and outdoor climbing walls and giant swing.
After dinner, when most camps are winding things down, we crank things up a notch with NorthBay Live. In NorthBay Live, campers will sing and dance to our very own live band, True North. They also participate in skits and hear an inspirational character building message from a member of our staff. Other evening activities include the obstacle course, pool parties, entertainment night, hoe-down, county fair and all camp dance.
All NorthBay cabins are air-conditioned, have their own restrooms and provide linens, a pillow, and towel. Meals are prepared fresh daily by our five, culinary institute trained chefs.
