Camp Nawakwa is closed until 5-1-22. The water is turned off and the bathrooms are not functional. The portable potty is in place. Camp Nawakwa’s contract with the Park is from May 1 – October 15. Camp Nawakwa does not have access during the off-season for individual use. Individuals who access camp without a Permit will endanger themselves and put our contract with the Park at risk.
Access to camp during the off-season is, at the Park’s request, limited to planned events with a finite timeframe, such as Hosted Weekends, Invitationals, and Workdays for wood processing and maintenance. Only the Camp Chair, Don Gabel, can request a Permit from the Park for off-season access to camp. The turnaround time to get an off-season permit is protracted due to decreased Park office staff, and they are only working three days a week. Hosts are asked to give two weeks’ notice for Don to apply for a permit. As always, check the calendar on adkny.org for events, including Wood Day in the near future.
We look forward, in 2022, to resuming a full season enjoying our brand-new lodge roof with new and refurbished, 🌞let-the-sunshine-in🌞, skylights!
Thank you to Dave Hayes, his father, and Jessica Scirbona for installing a new, very bright automatic light to the downstairs entrance to the lodge! Thank you, both for all the contributions you’ve made to camp in such a short time. Thank you, also, Dave, for agreeing to join the Camp Committee! Your skills will certainly come in “handy”, and we look forward to working with you!
