Margaret Connects Children with Nature

I came to camp as a counselor at age 18 (for eight weeks!), and did not know one soul at Nakanawa. I am proof that you don’t have to be a former camper to decide that spending summers at Nakanawa is not just a summer job, it is a lifestyle. Now in my 60s, I look forward all year to my time at camp. It is a Neverland where your age doesn’t matter. Everyone is young at heart.

After teaching horseback riding and Arts and Crafts in Senior Camp, I had two daughters of my own and started a whole new chapter in Junior Camp. My special passion is teaching Nature, and I am sure I have more fun than the girls do at the Nature Hut. It is my goal to have each girl become more attuned to the world of nature, more appreciative of the creatures and the beauty of the lake, more excited about hiking and adventuring, less worried about getting muddy or getting a tick; more excited about holding a snake for the first time or feeding baby ducks, less worried about germs and spiders.

I can’t wait to meet all of you!
