Fun is at the heart of SNC! In our beautiful natural setting, we combine adventure, learning, and kindness to support each camper’s growth. Our nurturing community helps first-time campers feel confident, make friends easily, and try new activities. At SNC, every child is encouraged to be their true selves—maybe that’s why 92% of our campers return each summer. It’s a place where joy and belonging come naturally.
