Karen’s Corner: It’s Fall, Y’All!

Hello Nakanawa friends,

I hope this finds you well and filled with the same warmth and enthusiasm that embodies the “Spirit of Nakanawa.” On behalf of the entire Nakanawa family, I’d like to take a moment to express my deep sorrow regarding the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene on many members of our Camp community. I can’t begin to imagine what you are going through, but please know that my heart goes out to you during this incredibly difficult time.

Here in Crossville, I’m pleased to share some wonderful highlights with you from the past few months. Our recent Mother-Daughter Weekend was a resounding success, filled with laughter, bonding, and memorable experiences that truly embodied what Camp is all about. Close to 70 campers participated in new activities while making new friends, all led by enthusiastic counselors who joined us from TR 24 and 25.

Additionally, we’ve rented out our facilities to various organizations. The joy of sharing Camp with diverse groups amplifies our celebration of community. Looking ahead, we’re also excited about our ongoing counselor recruitment efforts and are committed to hiring individuals who embody the heart and soul of Nakanawa. 

As we continue to build on this foundation of goodwill and friendship, I’m filled with gratitude for each of you who contribute to our Camp family. Together, we are ensuring that the spirit of Nakanawa remains alive and flourishing for generations to come.

In the Spirit of Nakanawa,

Karen
