Camp du Nord offers a variety of program areas and activities for your family to explore throughout your week at camp. All activities are optional and have been designed to ensure physical distancing can be maintained.
Outdoor Activity Center
The Outdoor Activity Center offers a variety of activities and programs to draw attention to the natural beauty around camp. Set out on adventurous hikes and paddles, brush up on your wilderness skills and knowledge, try some delicious trail food, support our du Green efforts, and more!
The Outdoor Activity Center can also help you arrange a cookout or overnight with your family. Overnight trips must be scheduled in advance.
Family Art Center
The Family Art Center will be open this summer, with opportunities to craft inside and out. We will continue to offer a variety of craft classes and activities for all ages throughout the week, offer open art, and have opportunities to take to-go art kits back to your cabins. Some classes charge a small additional fee for materials. Try your hand at painting, inkle weaving, making friendship bracelets, zen doodle and more.
Camp Store & Nature Nook
The Camp Store went through a transition this past summer as we introduced the “Nature Nook” to share this space! This decision was based off our commitment to continue growing our Nature and Wilderness Programming and we could not be more excited to on how year 1 went for the Nature Nook.
The Nature Nook holds much to discover! This space is the host to animal bones, plant examples, microscopes, nature identification books, night sky kits, and our Camp Naturalist! If you are looking to learn more about the nature around camp this is the perfect place for you! Swing by when the Camp store is open to check in with our Naturalist about a question you have, follow your curiosity, or check a cool leaf out under one of our microscopes!
The Camp Store remains a constant at du Nord for Campers to swing by to grab a cup of espresso, a scoop of ice cream, or pick up your hard-earned polar bear shirt! Our merch is continually updated with focuses on clothing, fun trinkets, and local products. The Camp Store is located beneath the Dining Hall and directly across the patio from the Camp Office. The Camp Store hours are posted on the Camper schedule upon arrival at Camp.
