Camp Nakanawa

Camp Nakanawa is located smack dab between Crossville and Monterey, Tennessee, on a lush 1000 acres of forest, fields, and a spring-fed lake. It's around two hours away from Nashville, TN.Operating since 1920, Camp Nakanawa offers campers an opportunity to learn about the outdoors while increasing their self-confidence.

This all-girls Tennessee overnight camp is outfitted with an archery range, climbing wall, tennis courts, zip line, horsemanship, and various water and sports activities that encourage girls to try something new. Activities are dependent on age group so for example, senior campers can do things like visiting the rifle range, golfing, and fencing.

Camp Nakanawa is split into three camps for girls of differing ages, with a junior camp for girls 8+, an intermediate camp for those 12+, and a senior camp for girls between 15 and 18. The different camps allow participants to mingle with others of the same group while also having a camp experience tailored to their age.

Camp Nakanawa's mission is to educate young women and give them space to build life skills like resilience and rise to their fullest potential with an outdoor education.
