Camp Overview
Along the crystal-clear waters of Walnut Creek and near the apple orchards of historic Nebraska City, you will discover Camp Catron. This gorgeous camp sits on 107 lush acres of a woodland oasis. In addition to a spacious lodge, nature center and pool, it is home to Sky Camp, eight elevated tree houses nestled in the forest where girls can sleep under the stars. You will go swimming and hiking, practice archery, track animals, cook outdoors and host adventure camps, including dabbling into the magical world of Harry Potter.
For the challenge seekers, we have dynamic low and high challenge courses with a zip line, giant swing and the flying squirrel.;
