Here are just some of the groups that use Camp Shaw for their functions:

Wilmington HS Football
Thresholds South Rehabilitation Center

This year at Camp Shaw, we are offering several new and unique opportunities for area school groups to explore relationships with themselves, each other and nature. They then will have the tools to form their own opinions about the world around them.

Our activities are geared towards hands-on, interactive learning that develops problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Students have the opportunity to hike while learning about the special ecosystem located here at Camp Shaw in our new SOLAR Center (Shaw-Waw-Nas-See Outdoor Learning And Recreation)

EAGLS is our new program that brings horses and people of all ages and abiliites together proving that age old adage that "what is on the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a person.

Students will learn how to challenge themselves and each other on our BLITZ Course while learning how to work as a team to accomplish a common goal.
