Northwoods Campus
Camp Thunderhead

Nativity Jesuit’s rigorous five-week, residential, academic summer program is situated in the beauty of Wisconsin’s great Northwoods in Iron County, Wisconsin. Our third semester of the school year helps to eliminate the “summer slide” in learning that is common for urban students. Camp Thunderhead is a unique student experience because:

• It forms teamwork, fosters leadership, builds community, and supports faith development
• Students and staff pray together, share reflections, and celebrate mass
• Daily classes are given in math, language arts and natural sciences
• Students take daily reading tests online in the Nativity Accelerated Reading Program (NARP)
• Activities include swimming, boating, fishing, water-skiing, biking, basketball, soccer, volleyball, hiking and woodworking
• Campers live in mixed grade level cabins with counselor supervision
• Nutritious meals are eaten together “family style”
• Daily “deck meetings”, reflections during breakfast and lunch, and cabin checks in the evening foster character growth and faith formation
