The weather on Saturday, May 20, was wet and chilly, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of those participating in Nawakwa’s first Paint and Sip party hosted by Alex Wilkie and Edie Blum.  In the afternoon, Alex led nine other members and applicants through a class in the living room of the main cabin that showed them step by step how to use acrylic paints to render a mountain landscape. At the end of the afternoon, the participants were able to take home their finished creations.  In the evening, Edie and a skilled kitchen crew prepared a delicious dinner of roasted vegetables, couscous and grilled chicken.

On Saturday May 6th Camp Nawakwa got a great new addition in the form of a kayak launch. This launch along with new floats for the boat dock should give members and guests of all ages more confidence to get on the water safely. The over head bar combined with the launch rails provides a very steady platform to enter and exit the lake in your watercraft of choice.
