Stay at camp for 5 weeks for 3 weeks or an extra week! NeXus Resident Camps are
designed as a continuous adventure where every week is special and can provide
family solutions for working parents who are seeking options for summer care.
Camp Gilwell at T.L. Storer and Camp Shanawanda at Wah-Tut-Ca.
A multi-week camp experience designed to give your Scout an unforgettable
summer! The program has all of the traditional Scout experiences combined with
exceptional rare adventures and off-site treks designed for all Scouts. Every
week brings unique experiences.
Build lasting friendships and memories at Northern NeXus Resident Camps. Play
and learn along the shores of Northwood Lake, Adams & Wild Goose Ponds in
Southern NH. We provide a safe outdoor environment that will help your child or
young adult grow.
Programs offered include climbing and hiking local mountains and canoeing on
the Merrimack or Suncook Rivers. Special bicycle programs, fishing expeditions,
horseback riding and STEM programs are offered along with in-camp activities
for resident campers only. Boys and girls have the opportunity to acquire
skills and advance in areas such as Animals, Nature, Fitness, Sports, Aquatics,
Shooting Sports, Pioneering, Camping & Cooking.

As a NeXus Resident Camper, your Scout is a V.I.P. Campers stay in special
housing designed for long-term residence with access to showers and flush
latrines. Gilwell & Shanawanda is staffed by trained and experienced adult and
junior counselors.
Your up to six -week options can include spending one week with your Troop or
additional weeks in Council Leadership Programs such as
Brownsea<http://scoutspirit.doubleknot.com/event/brownsea-ii-2018/2244850> or
NYLT<http://scoutspirit.doubleknot.com/event/nylt-2018-session-i/2252762>. You
can even mix and match your weeks between Shanawanda at Wah-Tut-Ca and Camp
Gilwell at TL Storer!
We recommend 3 WEEKS- Half Summer or 5 WEEKS-FULL SUMMER. You can stay as many
weeks as you like. This includes Saturday Overnight Programs.
