One of the most fun places on Earth!!! This camp was a good experience for me to learn manners, cooperation, and making new friends. I love Camp Nakanawa. I think the people you can meet and the counselors have help you learn some necessities in life that you need to know. The most important thing was that I had fun. Please send your kids to Nakanawa too. The money is worth of what you get. Your kids will come home sad and happy because they will miss Nakanawa too just like I had
It has only been one day since I left camp and I already can't wait to go back next year. I just finished my first summer at Camp Nakanawa and it was the best of my entire life. I was worried at first about being rejected because of my age and how much later I was coming to camp than the other girls, but they all spread their arms open wide and never hesitated to be as kind and caring as they would be if they had known me for a decade. The counselors all took me in and helped me adjust to camp life and they all did their best to help me thrive in everyday camp life. I was thrilled and honored to be willed a tie by an incredible friend and Valkyrie sister, and I promise to try to live up to her legendary camper status while wearing our tie with pride. Last night, trophy night, I was given the honor of recieving a Carson cross. This is a gift that I will treasure forever and I'm so thankful to the entire counselor staff for their kindness and I'm really glad that that they believe I'm worthy of such as valuable piece of camp history. I will wear it everyday to remind myself of the one-of-a-kind place that is Camp Nakanawa. As a message for anyone considering joining the Camp Nak family, do it. Jump in with both feet because there is an entire camp of wonderful women waiting to catch you and bring you in close. Thank for the best month I've ever had and I'll be sure to return for tent row next year.
Drove back to see what the camp looked like and was curious if they allowed fishing since a friend had fished there recently, gates were open, there were two welcome signs and a visitors parking sign, apparently we passed a super faded/barely readable posted sign at the end of the road but honestly we did not see it on the way in, was met by a very haughty, smart alec of man on a golf cart who from their website I assume was Pepe since he claimed to own the place, I was a passenger in the vehicle but he treated the driver w disrespect, talking over him barely allowing him a word in to explain why we were there and told him we were trespassing, no one can fish there because he owns they lake and insurance doesn't allow it and that we had passed 3 signs telling us to stay out, which is not true we checked on the way out, the driver tried to explain that he hadn't seen any signs and the owner said well you can argue with me all day if you want to but I put them there myself, the driver kept his cool way better than I would have, explaining that friends of ours had fished there and we were just checking to see if we could also, to which this man changed his story and said he does permit fishing but only to certain individuals. If this is the man who runs this camp and if that's the way he treats a total stranger I'd be very hesitant to send my child to a place ran by someone with that kind of attitude and disrespect. We meant no harm and had not intentionally trespassed on his property, and tried to explain that it was a simple mistake. Yes you may own the camp sir, but we are not your campers that you can disrespect and talk to like children, a simple explanation would have been sufficient. I don't normally post reviews but I felt family's should know how he treats a total stranger, because it's most likely how he'll treat your children and I would never want someone to talk down to my childen or not give them a chance to explain themselves and make them feel disrespected, was totally uncalled for.
Ideal camping experience for girls.
The absolute best place on earth. It's honestly a safe haven for so many people and the bond that people share show that there isn't a place like it anywhere else.
