Change in Venue for 2022!

Dear NerdcampNNE community, due to an unforseen conflict with our current venue, Freeport High School, NerdcampNNE will be moved to The University of Southern Maine Gorham campus on the same date, Sept. 24, 2022. We are excited to co-host NerdcampNNE with The University of Southern Maine Department of Literacy, Language & Culture.

If you have already secured lodging in Freeport, you could certainly keep your reservation. Gorham is approximately 40 minutes away. Gorham is also less than 30 minutes to Portland and other popular Maine locations like Old Orchard Beach and has lots of lunch options. We have also listed some nearby lodging options on our lodging page. website. 

While the venue will be different, we are dedicated to providing our campers with an engaging and energizing day of professional learning. #nerdcampnne #nerdcampnne2022
