There are many ways to get your child from home to SNC. Some arrive by car, motor coach or plane from all over the world. Please be sure to make your travel plans early and inform us of your child's schedule.
If you are coming for a visit, that's great! SNC has no scheduled visitation days, you can come anytine, we just ask that you let your child have at least a 5 day adjustment time before you stop by. Summers in the Northwoods are a busy vacation time of year so it is never too soon to start making plans.
