Although it may be years since you were a camper or staff, does one tune from the songbook send you right back like it was yesterday? Do you yearn to feel the exhilaration and excitement of being part of the Nor’wester community again? Perhaps you visited camp only last summer, as a volunteer at a work weekend, but you just can’t get enough. Whatever your story, we love hearing from and spending time with alumni. Stay in touch with the Nor’wester community by attending one of the following opportunities. Thanks for your support – we look forward to seeing you on Johns or elsewhere to rekindle the Nor’wester spirit.

Please contact us at info@norwester.org to get in touch with camp!
