About this venue

Camp Norwesca was established as a camp for Christian education in 1954, and covers approximately 40 acres bordered by the Chadron State Park to the north and the Nebraska National Forest on the other three sides. The late Dr. C.M. Pierce of Chadron is credited with establishing the camp, but the name was developed by Mabel Kendrick, using the first few letters of each word –North West Camp— to signify that it is the camp of the Northwest District of the United Methodist Church

Because weddings and receptions are held in an outdoor setting, many brides choose to host them in the summer or fall when the natural foliage is most vibrant. Summer dates are limited. We would love to schedule a time for you to see all Camp Norwesca has to offer. During a visit, you will have the opportunity to meet our staff, tour the facility, and ask any questions. We would be honored to share in making your wedding a beautiful and memorable event!

    You should definitely book Camp Norwesca!

    Booking with Camp Norwesca was the easiest part of our wedding. From stunning views to fantastic amenities, I could not have picked a better place to host our rehearsal dinner and wedding. Brandi was incredible and assisted us with adding on a rehearsal dinner just a week before the ceremony. The venue is so gorgeous we decided not to decorate, and it looked stunning. Everything is beautiful, clean, and well cared-for. I would definitely use this venue again in the future if I have an event to do so!
