A Yorktown Landmark: Our Dining Room at Camp Nabby

One of the most special and beloved buildings at Camp Nabby is our dining room, affectionately known as “The Casino.” Built in 1941 and recognized by the Yorktown Historical Society, this historic space has long been a central gathering place for our camp community and a place filled with daily traditions and shared moments.

Each day, the Casino is thoughtfully set up for three half-hour lunch sessions, giving campers time to refuel, relax, and connect with friends. Campers typically sit at the same table each day, helping to foster familiarity, comfort, and strong group bonds. A large, covered outdoor deck is also used for lunches, snacks, and our weekly camp Bar-B-Que.   On rainy days, the Casino takes on a new role as a cozy camp movie theater, giving campers a chance to unwind together. And every Friday, the week wraps up with a favorite tradition: a photo slideshow recap, featuring moments captured by our camp photographer. Campers love spotting themselves and reliving the fun of the week alongside their friends.

Through shared meals and meaningful traditions, the Casino provides a welcoming space where campers build friendships, feel part of the community, and enjoy a comforting rhythm to their day.

Our Home-Away-From-Home Bunks

Every group at Camp Nabby has its own dedicated bunk, each named after a different college, giving campers a sense of identity and belonging within the larger camp community. These bunks serve as a home base throughout the day, a place to regroup, change, and feel comfortable.

Each bunk functions as a homeroom and dressing area, equipped with benches and hooks so campers can easily change clothes twice daily for swim periods. Bunks also include a refrigerator for storing snacks and cold drinks, helping campers stay comfortable and refreshed during active days.

More than just functional spaces, the bunks offer campers a sense of ownership and familiarity. They provide a calm, organized environment where children can transition between activities, connect with their group, and feel grounded throughout the camp day.
