The Boys & Girls Clubs host summer camps at Camp Nakomis, which spans 35 wooded acres along the lake. Boys & Girls Clubs across the metro area serve about 5,900 children each year. The new facility will be used for the Jesuit Academy in the summer during the school’s required July academic term. They spend mornings in the classroom and afternoons at camp activities. Previously, the 65-student school had an arrangement with a camp 40 minutes away; that trip is now only seven minutes.
