The weather was perfect for this year’s Service Weekend, welcoming alumnae back to camp with light breezes and beautiful sunshine. Almost 60 women, spanning Tent Rows from the 60s to the 2010s, came together to help prepare camp for the summer sessions. Tent Row ’81 joined us for their reunion, adding to the fun.
On Friday night Cindy DuBose briefed the group on exciting developments at camp: new security gates for Junior and Senior Camps, drainage and safety improvements in Junior Camp including new stairs alongside the Council House, a new Perry Weather system to alert everyone of possible dangerous weather, and improvements – already underway! – for Senior Egypt. All of this work will make camp safer and more enjoyable for our campers.Â
Camp was abuzz Saturday with projects. From planting and weeding to painting gates and cabins, attendees pushed up their sleeves to make Nakanawa look her very best. We also took time during the day to write notes of gratitude to our counselors who will guide campers through their camp experiences.Â
Whether first-time attendees or Service Weekend regulars, everyone headed home with new friends, special memories, and a renewed connection to the spot we all hold dear. Save the date for next year’s event: May 14-16. We’d love to have you join us!
