Camp Norwesca is all about fun, friendship, and learning more about who we are as children of God. Test your skills with archery, outdoor cooking, and team building exercises. Get closer to nature by hiking, horseback riding and exploring the Ponderosa Forest by hay rack ride. Then cool off with a ride on our super slide, or swimming at Chadron State Park. Unwind next to a crackling campfire while singing songs and roasting marshmallows. Drift off into a peaceful sleep in one of our cabins or under the stars; listening to the crickets sing and the wind blow through the pines. In the midst of God's beautiful creation, Camp Norwesca is truly a unique setting and destination for you to experience friendship and growth. There is something for everyone at Norwesca; we offer many different session themes for summer camp. Check out our website for more information or Brandi at 308-432-3872 to request a flyer. RETREATS:
