I grew up at Nokomis, and so did a lot of people. It's not unusual to find staff members hanging out with each other during the off-season, reminiscing about their 30-40 years working at camp. It's less like a place you go in the summer, and more like a family.
I cannot say enough good about this place. I attended for 9 summers and only wish I could still go back every year. In addition to the wide range of activities, the people are great and the food is pretty fantastic, particularly when compared to the stuff being served up at other summer camps.
A few of the activities offered to campers: Archery, rowing, wind surfing, sailing, swimming, photography, ceramics, leather craft, copper enameling, silver craft, basketball, soccer, ropes course, water skiing, canoeing, theater, tennis, and more.
Campers can attend for 2-week sessions, up to a total of 8 weeks. At the end of the second and fourth sessions, there's a giant themed banquet that is tons of fun.
Apply early as the camp roster is usually full for the next summer by December. read more
