Camp Nor'wester 

Description

Camp Nor'wester has provided a unique outdoor experience to children ages 9-16 since 1935 in the San Juan Islands. Classic camp activities, such as arts and crafts, sailing, kayaking, biking, hiking, camping and mountaineering, engage campers in a journey of fun, self-discovery and community responsibility. We live with simple comforts that rely less on technology and more on personal solutions.

Mission Statement

Camp Nor'wester provides a unique outdoor living experience where a diverse group of young people is challenged to develop skills that increase self-confidence and encourage respect, responsibility and compassion for themselves, their community and the environment.
