Welcome to North Woods Camp for Boys

Since it was founded in 1929, North Woods Camp has been providing boys and young men with a variety of challenging opportunities in an environment which allows each boy to appreciate himself, others, and the world around him.

With the caring guidance of counselors and leaders, each boy is encouraged to get involved, to meet new friends, to try something new, to help out the other guy... and to have fun every step of the way!
