STAYING AT NACOME
PREPARE FOR YOUR STAY AT NACOME
Whether your group has been coming to NaCoMe for years or it's your first time, we can help you put a schedule of activities together that will keep your group engaged and excited. NaCoMe is also a great choice for a stress management retreat, offering a peaceful setting to relax, recharge, and enjoy the outdoors.
Activities at NaCoMe range from the camp classics (like archery, canoeing, or swimming) to the extreme (ziplines, rock walls, Giant Swings, anyone?).
