Fall Work Weekend and Wood Day

All hands on deck! Healthy, tasty meals to nourish the body and Nawakwa spirit and plenty of chores to go around! The Fall Work Weekend is here!

The closing of the camp season is always an exciting time for Nawakwans. It’s important to prepare the campgrounds, waterfront, main cabin and sleeping cabins for the winter season, as well as re-stock our firewood. Lunch on Saturday will be provided to those participating in the work weekend at no cost. There will be no day fees for those participating in the chores.

Camp Chair Dave Hayes is coordinating the work chores for this work weekend, Eve Mancuso is hosting for the overnight, and Co-host Janet Sibarium is taking care of the Saturday lunch. (For any of the meals, please note if you are vegetarian or omnivore.)

Around Cape Horn – Saturday – November 5, 2022

Elevation gains about 500 feet, gentle to moderate uphills, 5-6 miles.

Join in an easy hike to the Pine Swamp Mountain area (site of the Pine Swamp Mine) and Times Square.

Starting at the parking area at Lake Kanawauke (former Route 106), we take a short road walk and then enter the forest, following a woods road as it climbs to meet the Dunning Trail.

We will hike over to Pine Swamp (and can explore the area to find the mine entrance), take the A-SB to Times Square (so called because it is where the Arden-Surebridge (A-SB) trail, the Long Path (LP), and the Ramapo-Dunderberg trail(R-D) all come together), then ‘round Cape Horn on the Long Path and back to the parking area.  We will look for a hidden cave behind Cape Horn.

It will probably be possible to arrange a ride from Sloatsburg for those without a car. Please call leader to check. Bring lunch, rain gear, water, extra layers, and appropriate hiking shoes. If there is snow/ice, traction devices are recommended. Meet at the Parking area at 10AM. Qualifying. Please register by 9PM Thursday, November 3, 2022.
