A Summer Adventure That Lasts A Lifetime
Summer Camp 2025 starts in
Welcome to Camp Norwesca
A Christian Community in the Camp Setting
​
Located in the beautiful Nebraska Pine Ridge Forest, next to Chadron State Park, Camp Norwesca offers a welcoming Christian community in a camp setting. Each summer, we host camps for children of all faith backgrounds, fostering a close-knit environment where campers live, eat, play, and worship together. As a year-round retreat center, we also provide a peaceful space for groups to gather, grow, and explore their faith in a supportive setting. Camp is a place to be open about our beliefs, ask honest spiritual questions, and build lasting connections.
Surrounded by beautiful buttes, canyons, and pine trees, Camp Norwesca sits just south of Chadron State Park within the Nebraska National Forest. Campers will develop a greater appreciation for their environment and the beauty in nature.
Camp Norwesca is next door to Chadron State Park and surrounded by the Nebraska National Forest, offering hiking, wildlife viewing, and outdoor recreation. Hunters are welcome, with lodging available during hunting season.
The Camping Ministries of the United Methodist Church transform lives through Christian community. Our camps offer opportunities for intentional Christian Community through hosting retreats, reunions, community events, group activities, and summer camps for all ages.
We believe healthy, outdoor recreation has value in and of itself. Our approach to recreation helps campers to cooperate with others, manage their fears, build confidence, and learn new skills. Horse back riding, swimming, hiking, and sliding down our famous Super slide are just a few of our list of activities.
Hospitality and Servant Leadership
At Camp Norwesca, we treat our campers with love and respect. We go the extra mile to serve their physical, spiritual, and emotional needs.

Join our Team!
We’re looking for fun and responsible people who love God, kids, and the outdoors. While you are shouting silly songs, teaching campers how to roast the perfect marshmallow, and leading various exciting games, you will have a chance to love kids as Christ loves them, and that can be life changing for both you and your campers.
"My daughter had the best time at camp! She is already asking to go back next year! Thank you so much!"

Before I came to Camp Norwesca, I was always grumpy and unsocial. Camp changed me. I made a lot of new friends and I learned how to see God in my life. Next year I am hoping to come to camp as a Counselor in Training.
