Dear Nawakwa Keyholders:

Welcome to the ’25 Nawakwa Season!  The camp & hosting calendar (attached below) is open for volunteers.  The ’25 season runs from April 26-October 27.

Each keyholder may choose to host a weekend/weekends.  Kindly email your hosting selection as soon as possible to the Hosting Committee at hosting@noany.org.  Blanks on the camp/hosting calendar (attached below) indicate openings/hosts needed.  There are also opportunities for midweek hosts as well.  Just let us know.

Please review the current Hosting and Guest Policies on our Nawakwa website (noany.org/hosting-forms).  All necessary forms can be downloaded from the website.  It’s important that the hosts observe these policies and report any difficulties.  We’re here to support you and your hosting experience!

We encourage you to communicate via the hosting email address at hosting@noany.org.  If you want to speak directly, contact Maryann Poris at 973-769-4246.

What’s App Messaging for Nawakwans

What’s App Group Explanation
What’s App, a popular and free messaging app is now available to Nawakwa Members and we have a dedicated group chat with moderators. This group will act as an online meeting place and allow folks (both applicant’s & members) to connect in regards to transportation and camp visits. Sometimes you just need a buddy, a ride or a little more info about an upcoming event. This app is completely optional to join and or participate in but will serve as a great connection and source of information if enough people opt into using the app.
Step 1: On your iPhone or Android device head to your official App Store and search “WhatsApp”, download the application and then open it.
 Step 2: Once the app is installed on your phone you can click the link below to join the NOANY group. We do ask that you use your real name so that people know with whom they are chatting with.

If anyone is having trouble or would like additional help setting up the app or joining the group, Dave Hayes & Jess Scirbona will be offering quick tutorials during the Opening Workday for the 2025 season during lunch and as needed.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Camp!
Best Wishes,
-Dave
