An Educational Opportunity:
We are committed to providing an English language based summer program that promotes learning through participation in a camp atmosphere that is both very safe and very fun!
By exploring the complexity of group dynamics with its campers, NWA fosters leadership skills and builds positive character traits in its participants through purpose-led and deliberate programs that foster their personal growth and development.
With its active outdoor program, Northwoods Adventure teaches valuable life skills including:
independence, responsibility, teamwork, cooperation, and respect.
The experience of a lifetime!
NWA encourages its participants to embrace the camp acronym LETSC (lets see), which emphasises the character qualities of:
Leadership, Effort, Teamwork, Stepping Up, and Character.
