Dear Nawakwa Keyholders,

Camp Nawakwa will be opening for the ’24 season soon. Now is the time to check your calendars and volunteer as a weekend or midweek host. Opportunities are available from April 27th to October 27th .

Kindly email your hosting selection (or midweek request) as soon as possible to the Hosting Committee at hosting@noany.org. Blanks on the hosting calendar (see below) indicate openings/hosts needed.

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. And remember, 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.

Again, without our dedicated volunteers, we would not be celebrating 100 years and thriving!!

Looking forward to hearing from you

Mary Hilley and Maryann Poris

Date correction to the April May Trail Marker:

Please note the Birdwatching Walk will take place on Sunday May 19 (not April 20).

As Camp Nawakwa approaches our 100th Anniversary, a special announcement.

First, a very large thank you to those generous individuals who have made a bequest to Camp Nawakwa in their wills and estates. Our not for profit organization is indebted to your efforts. And thanks to your generosity we can continue to operate Nawakwa for the benefit of all our Keyholders.

Second, the Board is asking all who have remembered Nawakwa in their wills or plan to do so, to please update the beneficiary to reflect our current name – the Nawakwa Outdoor Association of New York, Inc. This request should be made to your attorney or whoever handles your documentation.

We separated from the ADK in March of 2022. Any bequest made to our old name will be tied up in legal proceedings. Our concern is that costly legal proceedings to remedy that would reduce the effects of your gift.

Thank you again for your action, and a heartfelt thank you for your future support.
