Ties Service Weekend

Every summer at Camp Nakanawa is filled with memories that last a lifetime, and you can help set the stage for this year’s campers during our 2025 Service Weekend. From May 16–18, we invite you to join us for a weekend of camaraderie, light work, and meaningful contributions that will ensure camp is ready for the summer ahead.

What We Do

During Service Weekend, participants take part in a variety of tasks, including:

  • Creating Amazon and Valkyrie ties that will be cherished by campers during team events.
  • Planting flowerpots to welcome visitors and brighten campgrounds.
  • Wood-burning medals and counselor name tags, adding a handcrafted touch to camp traditions.
  • Other light tasks to keep Camp Nakanawa as beautiful and welcoming as ever.

Whether you’re a seasoned camper or joining us for the first time, Service Weekend is a chance to give back and reconnect with the “Spirit of Nakanawa.”

It’s Not All Work!

There’s plenty of time to enjoy the camp’s natural beauty. Take a peaceful walk along Lake Aloaloa, unwind in your favorite quiet spot, or reminisce with friends about summers past. The balance of work and play makes this weekend a truly rewarding experience.
