Kyle Lee Going to Camp Nashoba for the first time was more a recreation. My first couple of days at camp was met with uncertainty. I wasn’t sure how adaptable my city lifestyle would be and if I would be able to find anything that interested me. Not only was I able to find things that interested me, I found a new side of myself; a side of myself that had been dormant for along time due to my city lifestyle. Nashoba could not have come at a better time for me; when I had grown weary of the things that I could do in the city I unknowingly yearned for a different lifestyle. Nashoba allowed me to trade in my phone and technology for a better understanding of myself that no matter how efficient or cool technology had become just could not be given to me in another way. I was drawn to the stage at Nashoba. I was in both of the plays during my two sessions and put on more than a few dance performances as well as singing in a band. It was one thing to image doing these things but to actually get on that stage and show all of Nashoba my heart and soul was indescribably freeing. Nashoba gave me among that countless new experiences. I enjoyed my first campfires there, I was able to have amazing times as a horseback rider, and my tow months were filled with amazing sports like golf, and tennis as well as many amazing waterfront archery activities. I honestly did not expect the bond between myself and Nashoba to grow so quickly. Within the first two weeks when I had originally planned to stay for only one month. I begged my mother to let me stay for the second session. The Nashoba atmosphere and attitude is an amazing one. Every day I woke up there I felt ready for what I did not know but the Nashoba attitude and community filled me with the sense that I was for anything. Nashoba changed me in a way that I could not full explain and yet will never forget. That is why; ever since Nashoba came into my life I knew that I had been truly charmed.

I will never forget when we made our cabin into a Hospital for Cabin Night. It looked so real and we only used what we had in the cabin and our imagination! We laughed a lot and had a lot of fun just being together.

Camp Nashoba Experience By James Sturtz My most memorable experience at Camp Nashoba happened last summer. I was at tubing and there was an odd number of people. The councilor at the raft was Greg. I ended up not having a tubing partner. He offered to be my partner. I took him up on his offer and we went tubing together. It was really fun tubing with him. We had a competition to see who could stay on the tube the longest. I lost, but he cheated by pushing me off. Since I kept falling he held on to my arm so I wouldn??™t fall off. Unfortunately, he fell off the tube so I fell with him. I had a really fun time and I hope I can tube with him again.

Last summer was the first overnight camp experience for my 10 year old. It was scary for both of us! We were excited but nervous. At the last moment there was quite a bit of anxiety but the director and counselors made it all OK. They eased my mind and connected with my daughter to make sure her experience was positive. She said loved "campfire" on the beach when campers and counselors participated in comedic skits. She said there was so much to do to distract your mind from being homesick. She cannot wait to go back this summer. Summer camp at Nashoba North exposed her to some new loves too: pottery and sailing. Pottery is a new favorite! We enrolled her in a class in Portland this past winter. She can??™t get enough it seems. I would have to say the only challenge is deciding which activities to try! Hoping we can experience again this summer. We would highly recommend Camp Nashoba North!!

When writing about my summers at Camp Nashoba North, so many ideas come into my mind. From waterskiing to dressing up as your favorite cartoon character, it??™s hard to decide. Out of the many activities to pick from at camp, some of my favorites are kayaking, rock climbing, playing koob, horseback riding, fishing and tubing. One of my favorite memories from camp was when our cabin went on a sunset kayaking trip on Cresent Lake. For cabin activity night, we picked sunset kayaking for our activity. When anxiously waiting on the beach, our counselor prepared the kayaks. When paddling out on the calm water, we could see the small fish swim beneath us. I started to paddle faster and harder. Then, I heard a thumping on the bottom of my kayak. As I looked into the back of my kayak, there was a big fish! I yelled for my counselor, and they rushed over. It was the first time somebody caught a fish with their paddle, they said.
