Adventure, Discovery, and a Summer You'll Never Forget
Welcome to Camp Nan A Bo Sho, where the spirit of adventure meets the joy of discovery in the heart of summer. Our camp offers an immersive experience away from the comforts of home, inviting campers to embrace challenges and develop crucial life skills amidst the beauty of the Northwoods. Join us for an unforgettable journey filled with laughter, friendship, and endless growth — all under the warm glow of the summer sun.
What Daily Life Looks Like at Camp
From the moment you wake up to lights out, every day at Camp Nan A Bo Sho is full of activity, connection, and discovery. Here’s a look at the camp experience.
Camp Nan A Bo Sho features 14 cabins and 2 yurts, all built or renovated within the past 10 years. All cabins and yurts have electricity, and most cabins are air-conditioned.
Our centrally located shower house features bathrooms and individual shower stalls.
Counselors are assigned to a cabin each session and stay with their cabin group for the entire program. The counselor living area is sectioned off to allow privacy for both campers and counselors while maintaining good supervision.
For campers participating in off-site overnight or wilderness trips, two- and four-person backpack-style tents are provided. Campers are taught how to set up their tent properly to stay dry and protected. Counselors pitch their tents nearby to ensure full supervision at all times.
Where the Magic Happens: Camp's impact on kids
There’s something that happens at Camp Nan A Bo Sho that can’t happen anywhere else. Here’s what parents and campers notice most when they come home.
Confidence and Independence
Away from familiar routines, campers discover they’re capable of more than they imagined — building confidence and independence that lasts beyond camp.
Friendship
Sharing a cabin, a meal, and a campfire with people you’ve just met creates bonds that last years — sometimes decades.
Connection to Nature
Days spent on the water, in the woods, and under the stars build a deep appreciation for the natural world that kids carry with them for life.
A Break from Screens
At Camp Nan A Bo Sho, campers unplug and discover the simple joy of being fully present — with their friends, their surroundings, and themselves.
Help Send a Kid to Camp
Every child deserves the camp experience — but for some families in the Fox Cities, cost is a barrier. Through the YMCA of the Fox Cities’ Mission in Action Campaign, financial assistance is available to ensure that no child misses out on what camp has to offer. Your gift today can make someone’s summer unforgettable.
