NBBC CAMPER PROGRAM - SUMMER 2024 IS COMING!

PARENTS - HOW TO PREPARE YOUR KIDS FOR CAMP:

 Norman B. Barr Camp (NBBC) is action packed with summer fun and activities and the staff and volunteers want to make sure our campers to feel at home and have fun. Knowing what to expect and coming prepared are key ingredients to a memorable camp experience.

Check the weather forecast for Williams Bay, WI in advance of your child’s visit and please be sure to pack all the items on the list we’ve provided below.

All of here at NBBC want to make sure your child will have a fun and fulfilling stay with us, so we ask that you help by preparing your child for their stay at camp. Please make sure to pack all the items on the list below. We also request taking some time to discuss NBBC’s Camper Behavior Guidelines with your child and how to properly respond to instructions from our camp counselors and staff.

NBBC campers sleep in a dorm-like common room in 2-tier bunk beds. The Boys’ and Girls’ Dorms can house 12 campers and 2 counselors each. Under each bunk bed there is a rolling storage bin for campers to store their personal items. If any camper needs extra supplies or has special needs, please let the camp staff know prior to their arrival at NBBC via email to the Program Director, or call the NBBC office at (262) 245-5544, which is open daily during the summer season from 9am-4pm CST.

The NBBC staff will make every effort to accommodate each camper's needs.
