Overview

We take singing seriously at Nakanawa, and we do it - in harmony - all the time. Young melodious voices are heard daily throughout Camp.  In Junior and Senior Camp, we learn treasured camp songs as well as music for church, vespers and team gatherings. Junior campers perform a musical revue in Two-Week Camp and an inclusive Operetta in Four-Week. These theatrical experiences include costumes and a bit of dance for every camper.

Choir in Intermediate and Senior Camps is an elective for all who love group singing; they prepare lovely selections for both church and Fine Arts Day. Stars are indeed born at Nakanawa!

While Choir is open to anyone on the Senior side of the lake, the elite eight singers of Octet are chosen based on auditions. Nakanawa commemorates special gatherings and awards ceremonies with beautiful songs written for Camp and performed by Octet.

Bouldering Wall

Certified instructors teach all camp climbing activities. Junior campers learn bouldering, a climb sideways without harnesses, to give everyone the chance to be successful. A short wall introduces campers to climbing on belay with the accompanying knots, and safety. Shark Attack, a favorite game, encourages climbers to boulder quickly and efficiently.

Canoeing

Gliding over the lake in our unique wood-and-canvas canoes is one of the memorable hallmarks of Nakanawa. The youngest campers learn paddle strokes on the dock, then master boating skills and teamwork for accurate, safe landings in two-seat canoes. Intermediate and Senior campers work to advance to the rank of “blade” when they canoe solo and perform a unique set of graceful strokes. Blades compete in finesse and accuracy in weekly waterfront meets.
