Water Carnival will not be like previous years but get ready to have fun in the crystal clear waters of
Big Crooked Lake! Bring the whole family down to the North Camp beach for the traditional Friday
Water Carnival. The staff members have organized a variety of games that will be played as a family
unit on the beach and in the water that will allow social distancing. There will be games available for
campers of all ages. This is a fun family affair! All spectators are expected to practice social distancing.
Parents, please help the counselors by enforcing your children be socially distant throughout the event.
2:30PM-4:30PM Tie Dye Rinse Out—Outside Loondry
Rinse out your awesome Tie Dye creations during the Water Festival! Instructions will be posted at
Loondry and you can drop in as you wish. Get excited to unveil your creations!
4:00PM Packing for Home and Campfire Preparations—Your Cabin
Please take this time to begin packing and getting your cabin ready for the next visitors. We ask that
you take this time to wash all the dishes you used and place all your equipment back in the appropriate
places. Please clean cabins according to the posted cabin cleaning procedures so staff are able to
spend more time disinfecting the cabin upon your departure. Thanks for all your help! Also, use this
time to prepare for Closing Campfire. We love it when families share a song, skit, story or special
talent with camp! Please return checked out items to Info Center.
7:30PM Closing Campfire—North Camp Beach
The closing campfire is the last chance for family and friends to share their Nawakwa experience with
fellow campers. The evening begins with a few songs and skits from the staff and then it is time for the
camper's turn to shine. Your family should feel free to prepare a song, skit, dance, magic show, poem,
etc. The staff members enjoy listening and laughing with the families through this memorable camp
experience. The Camp Nawakwa staff will close the evening with a few traditional camp songs. If it’s
raining we will still hold Closing Campfire but you might want to bring an umbrella! Nawakwa staff will
post signs around camp if the weather requires us to cancel.This year, you are able to use other
families and/or Nawakwa counselors in your performance.
