Good afternoon everyone,

I'm thrilled to report that the Camp Necon website (http://campnecon.com) is back online, fully functional, and 100% malware free.

Due to the days lost, we are officially extending our Early Bird Registration special — register in full anytime through Labor Day (Monday, 9/7/26) and receive $50 off!

Thanks and I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Good evening everyone,

The Camp Necon website is currently offline due to an unexpected security issue; apparently, one of our plugins was hacked and used to upload malware. The site has been swept, confirmed clean, and will be restored within the next 24 hours (hopefully much sooner). We apologize for any inconvenience and will post as soon as we're back up and running.

Thank you and I hope everyone has a good evening,
– Matt

Camp Necon 44: Final Chairperson's Letter P.S.

Remember how I wrote that this morning's mass-email would be our last before Camp Necon 44? I should really learn to stop saying that. But this is GOOD news that I'm thrilled to share!

Thirty minutes after sending out our Final Letter from the Chairperson, I received the following email from Esther Reed, the Head of Food Services at St. Anselm —

"Due to the amount of guests that are in need of specialty meals due to allergies or preferences, we are going to open our "Clarity (Allergen Free) Station" for all of your guests needing special meals to go to and they will be provided a meal from the attendant at that station. This is our farthest station from the door next to the coffee machines, and it will be labeled on the TV that this is our allergen station. Please direct any guests who are in need of special meals to report to this station when they arrive for meals to be taken care of. This will ensure they can dine with confidence and assist us with serving them quickly and accurately."

As such, much of section 7 of our earlier email, "Dietary Needs & Alternative Meal Options," is now obsolete. Campers will no longer need to ask the Food Services Staff for alternative options; rather, simply go to the "Clarity (Allergen Free) Station" and you will be accommodated.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Esther, her staff, and the entire team at St. Anselm. They truly bend over backwards at every turn to take care of us, and I don't have the words to express how much I appreciate them and their partnership with our convention.

Thank you all again and I'll see you the day after tomorrow!
