Who we are

Camp NORR is a traditional Russian-American, youth-centered camp organized and run exclusively through volunteer efforts. In fact, nearly all our leadership and counselors are former campers themselves. Today, they and are dedicated to educating and growing tomorrow’s leaders.

Our 3-week sleepaway camp session runs from the first weekend of July (opening on or around Independence Day.)

Our Mission

Inspire our youth by offering a variety of activities, athletics, and opportunities to forge friendships that will last a lifetime.

We integrate Russian heritage, religion, and language into all our activities to help foster pride, patriotism, and leadership.
