Holiday Week: August 16-24, 2008
Since 1984, we have been holding our 9-day Holiday Week after the boys' camp and it has now become a highlight of our summer season. Holiday Week is a family camping experience without the hassle of setting up the tent or doing the cooking.
In 2008, Holiday Week begins the morning of Saturday, August 16, and ends after lunch on Sunday, August 24. The entire camp is eight tent nights, but you are free to choose any length of stay!
Our camp chef and kitchen staff look forward to Holiday Camp because it gives them an opportunity, after the boys' camp, to show the full range of their talent. They receive "rave reviews" at every Holiday Camp.
The majority of our oldest and most experienced staff stay for Holiday Camp. They are eager to show you what a great place we have at Camp Nominingue and to make sure that your vacation is everything you wish it to be.
Evening snack is served before the children begin going to bed and there is usually something to nibble on during the day in the Main Lodge. Soft drinks and chocolate bars are also available for purchase.
