Cabin Life
The Cabins
Imagine settling into your spacious lakefront cabin, sharing fun with cabinmates your own age. Counselors are nearby in their own room, just off the main bunk room filled with comfy bunk beds. Each cabin even has its own bathroom with a sink and toilet, and the fresh lake breezes flow through the windows and screened porch. A short stroll away, you’ll find a renovated shower house and the friendly nurses at our health center, Patches. Best of all, you can make your bunk area your very own with pictures, posters, and all your favorite cozy things – it’s truly a home away from home right on beautiful Franklin Lake!
Growing Socially
At Nicolet, campers grow socially by forging incredible new friendships with campers from across the world. Through daily interactions and teamwork, they’ll learn invaluable skills in communication and problem-solving alongside cabinmates. Working together towards shared goals, from cabin challenges to team activities, builds strong bonds and a sense of belonging. Ask any camp alumni – the deep connections and lifelong friendships made at summer camp are truly the very best!
Cabin Activities
Get ready for laughter and bonding during awesome cabin activities at Camp Nicolet! Imagine the hilarious skits your cabin will create and perform around a crackling campfire under the stars. Wednesday nights turn into delicious adventures with fun cookouts enjoyed together as a cabin. Plus, themed Cabin Nights bring out everyone’s creativity! And while you’re having a blast, you’ll also share thoughtful moments during Vespers and maybe even shine on stage in the Talent Show – it’s all about fun and friendship here!

Everyone was so kind and attentive. I enjoyed getting the letters and seeing the excitement in our daughters handwriting. She survived without her phone! We have camp as a reference now, as we remind her of how much she accomplished without devices or streaming media
As a preteen who struggled to find her place in school— I absolutely flourished at camp and was forever changed. Camp Nicolet helped me discover who I was and how powerful one girl could become.
Camp means more to me that you will ever know. My best friends/sisters are the most important people in my life. I am forever grateful to you for providing me (and my mom!) with nine wonderful summers. I would not be who I am today without Nicolet.
Because of camp, I have been able to meet so many different people with all different backgrounds. Camp is just a magical place where girls from all over come to be girls, and I can honestly say there has not been a day at camp out of all my years that I did not feel like I had best friends who really cared for me.
My 9 years at Camp Nicolet are some of the highlights of my life. I think of my time on Lake Franklin, laughing, singing, learning new skills, and making lifelong friends. The memories are a source of pure joy and happiness buffering the inevitable challenges of life!
Our daughter would not be the strong, confident person she is today without the experiences she had at Camp Nicolet. Thank you a thousand times over!
One day, I will return to gather Nicolet up into my arms. One does not forget, ever, being so very lucky to have grown up with such a friend as Nicolet. I treasure it always.
Cannot begin to thank you enough for giving my daughter a chance to have the most amazing summer of her young life. she thoroughly enjoyed her time at camp, made so many nice friends, and had so many wonderful experiences (including the backpacking trip along Lake Superior) that she can’t stop talking about it.
Camp Nicolet is a tremendous gift, not just for our daughter, but for our whole family. It’s always nice to remind our daughter that her favorite time of year is the one month she doesn’t have a phone in her hands. Camp is a huge part of who our daughter is – for that we are thankful.
The fact that you are able to slow these girls down, detach them from their electronics, and show them all that Nicolet has to offer is amazing to me and very lucky for them. You have not only kept the very special legacy of Nicolet going, but you have added to and changed camp in such a way that you have kept it relevant to this next generation. Thank you for that.
