The Jay Novicki Program for individuals with physical and mental handicaps was a dream of my parents and mine after the death of my brother, Jay Novicki, in January, 2001. We hoped that people like Jay could experience God’s creation and wonder through camp songs, fishing poles, hayrack rides and s’mores. It warms my heart to know that many challenged campers have taken advantage of NLOM’s Jay Novicki program. We can tell by the smiles on the participants’ faces that they have enjoyed their experience.

Jay loved camping and I know he would be tickled that so many others are able to benefit from this program created in his honor and memory.
