EATABLES FORBIDDEN
Since the primary purpose of a summer camp is to conserve health, Nakanawa requests that campers receive no eatables of any kind while in attendance at camp. Fresh fruit and fruit juices are available in the commissary on a daily basis for those who wish it. There is also a Milk Break in Junior Camp and a Fruit Break in Senior Camp each morning. The camp diet is carefully planned and is nutritious in quality, varied and appetizing. Counselors and campers who have attended Nakanawa in past years will bear testimony to the excellence of the meals served at camp.

CATHOLIC MASS
Our campers of Catholic faith have the convenience of attending Mass in Senior Camp during both sessions. The service is held at 7:00 am Sunday morning with the Priest from Crossville officiating. Please indicate on the application if your daughter will attend. Changes cannot be made after the camp season begins.

Nakanawa is open to girls of good character between the ages of 8 and 17. The two week session is open to girls that are 8 to 14 and completed grades two through eight. The four week session is open to girls that are 8 to 17 and have completed grades two through eleven. Each girl is expected to conform to the rules and regulations of Nakanawa and the guidelines set forth by each team. We expect our girls to be loyal campers and to cooperate with the Directors and camp authorities. We do not allow smoking, profanity or any drugs other than those prescribed by a doctor. The Directors reserve the right to dismiss any girl or deny admission to any applicant who, in our opinion, is deemed undesirable or whose presence would be detrimental to the best interest of Nakanawa. In the event of dismissal or withdrawal for any reason, no part of the camp fee will be refunded, except when withdrawal is advised by our own physician, in which case the loss will be shared by the camp and the patron. Girls who will be eight years old before July 1 are eligible for admission to Junior Camp for both the two week and four week session. Girls who will be eleven by January 1 or have completed the sixth grade will be eligible for Intermediate Camp for the two week session. Girls who will be twelve by January 1 or have completed seventh grade will be eligible for Intermediate Camp for the four week session. Girls who will be fifteen by January 1 and have completed the ninth grade will be eligible for Senior Camp. Should there be any question as to which camp will be most suitable for a camper, it would be best to discuss placement with the Directors before reaching a decision.
