Welcome Message

Welcome to NAPCLI.org, the official website of the Naval Academy Parents Club of Long Island, serving the greater New York Metropolitan area and southern Westchester county. We are an organization made up of Parents of Midshipmen and Alumni of the United States Naval Academy, including those students in the Naps and Foundation Programs of the Academy.   We offer exciting and fun filled fellowship events along with support  for our members at every stage of their Academy Experience.  Whether you are the proud parent of an incoming Plebe, or an Alumni Parent with concerns or advice to share, It is our club's pleasure to be there to offer advice, support, and fellowship, every step of the way.

NAVAL ACADEMY PARENTS’ CLUB OF LONG ISLAND

Dear Members, Friends, and Visitors,

 

Welcome to our website.  We hope you will find it full of information, encouragement, and ideas of how you can make the years you will be involved with the USNA the best you can make them!  We will try to keep you updated with news, events, and suggestions over the upcoming year. 

The Naval Academy Parents Club of Long Island exists to help parents support their Mid and to help the Mids feel appreciated by our group. The Academy experience is not designed to be “fun,” at least not all the time, but we try to make it fun for the parents and help where we can with the Mids. We are a support group for parents who want to help their midshipman be successful in an environment with which the parents are totally unfamiliar.  We also know that many times parents do not get “the scoop” from their Mid so we come in handy for that as well!

NAPCLI exists to have fun with Midshipmen. Shared experiences are usually more fun than solitary experiences. Welcome aboard picnics, luncheons, trips to USNA for Parents' Weekend, football games and tailgate parties, military balls ... these are examples of activities that can be fun to do with your Midshipman and other Mids and their parents.

Parents are encouraged to participate in NAPCLI. Please attend events, please volunteer in any capacity. All of our midshipmen are best supported with a little help from all of us.

GO NAVY!!!   BEAT ARMY!!!

Best wishes,

Mike and Marian McKenna
