"Founded in 1964, Camp Nan A Bo Sho (NABS) offers programs designed to develop self-esteem, appreciation of a healthy mind, body, and spirit, acceptance of all people, and appreciation of our environment. Our fun filled activities teach the benefits of teamwork, cooperation, conservation of resources along with the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Sessions start on Sunday afternoons and end on Friday afternoons. Campers are involved with activities and programs from early morning until the campfire at sunset.
Camp Nan A Bo Sho is nestled on the shores of Waubee Lake near Lakewood, Wisconsin. Its 40 wooded acres are surrounded by the Nicolet National Forest which provides the setting for many of our camping and canoeing trips in which a child can have an outstanding camping experience in a Christian environment. Other facilities include: Orbison Lodge/Dining Hall, large program building, 12 cabin living units, medical lodge, arts and crafts area, camp store (Trading Post), athletic field, volleyball court, archery and rifle ranges, challenge course, climbing tower/zip line, a well equipped waterfront with a large swimming area, canoes, sailboats, windsurfers, kayaks, paddleboats and rowboats."
