Camp Nessie 2026
Camp Nessie was developed especially for our 3–6-year-olds who are looking for a smaller, less intense camp experience. Each week features a theme to get each child in the camp spirit! Campers will take part in many of our Camp MacGregor offerings but with modifications like shorter instructional periods and adjusted games to their skill level. Daily activities range from playground time, crafts, and Lego building. Four days per week, campers will enjoy supervised pool time in the shallow end and baby pools only. Just like with Camp MacGregor, we will have highly trained counselors supervising your kiddos around the clock.
