North Woods has been a home away from home for generations of campers. Traditions have been passed on by sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons of former campers to create a community that respects the past and lives for the present. North Woods' quality and depth of programming allows each boy to develop new skills and interests while pursuing activities they already enjoy. The camp day is an exciting blend of activity periods and open choice times, encouraging each boy to mature while appreciating the value of good sportsmanship, building self-esteem, and learning from individual differences. Campers select four activities to create their own individual schedule.
