Conditioning, strategy, teamwork and secrecy build suspense for weekend Intermediate and Senior games which culminate in the grand finale, Varsity Soccer. Alumnae of all ages plan their visits to Nakanawa to enjoy Varsity!

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.
