OTHER CAMP INFO: Northway was founded with the idea that girls should learn how to live simply in the outdoors and that the absence of appliances and luxuries would give campers a wilderness experience which they might draw upon throughout their lives. We try to maintain the idea that in-camp life should be almost as simple as life on a canoe trip. In camp the spirit is much the same as it is out in the wilderness--one of willingness to help others, to befriend every other camper and to appreciate the beauty of nature.

13-Day, 3.5 week and 7 week sessions available. Limited 1-week sessions for girls 7-9. Please see our website for complete details on dates and rates.
