Its going to be difficult to match the enjoyment I had at the TIES weekend.  Seeing old friends and making new friends is so "Nakanawa."  Sitting in the Wigwam with all the women and sharing our experiences, hopes and dreams for camp was amazing.  And, where else in the world can one be  where everyone in the room REALLY knows where Egypt is?!? The talent and abilities that were present within the group just reconfirms what most of us already know - Camp Nakanawa brings out the best in women. I am looking forward to helping out in any way I can.

Many, many thanks to Ann and Pepe for allowing me the privilege to serve. I had such a wonderful time; the weekend was very emotional and lots of fun! Being with friends, old and new, was the icing on the cake. I particularly loved singing camp songs...so many took on a new, deeper meaning. All weekend I kept thinking that when I was in TR I thought that I understood what it meant to be a Nakanawa girl; I don't think I had a clue until this weekend. Now, as Meriwether's camper days are over, you've provided me an opportunity to return to Nakanawa a very small amount of what Nakanawa gave to me. I look forward to participating with Nakanawa TIES in the years to come and again, thank you very much for this opportunity. Until we meet again,

Congratulations on a job well done -- You did such a good job.  And what a time we had!  I can't remember a better week-end.

I thought the weekend was one of the most powerful, gripping, badly needed experiences I've had in a while. I didn't even think about the rain. I was just so glad to be back in the arms of the place that held me so dearly and that is in my heart everywhere I go. Thank you again for all that you did to make this experience possible!

What a wonderful time we had at Nakanawa! My sides still ache from laughing so hard during story time Saturday night! Thank you again for a most successful Nakanawa TIES gathering!  I look forward to seeing you and working with you to make good things happen for our campers during Summer 2007!  Wo He Lo!!!

I had the best time. I don't remember the last time was that I laughed SO hard. I absolutely can't wait to come this summer for my reunion.  Selfishly, I am more excited to show my daughter around than anything else. I truly loved meeting everyone and seeing old friends.  How great to be somewhere that everyone feels so strongly about and has such a great connection ~ that is what made it special even when I didn't have my own "camp group" there.

Not only was the weekend  just plain fun(there's nothing better than going back to camp), but  the progress made and ideas floated were beyond my wildest dreams. You have set something in motion that is bigger than any one of us and has long been needed and hoped for. I was sharing the weekend events with my husband. He loves to hear about it. I was telling him about the evening we sat around the fire in the Wigwam and told stories. I realized that the passing of those stories to some of the younger alumni is a lot like the story-telling history of ancient tribes!   I think it's true, that one of the things that attracts and keeps so many people involved in camp is that sense of history, that sense of belonging to something, somewhere, that is true and pure and sweet in this crazy world we call home...something that was there before you and will be there after you.
