About Joining WISNAPA
WISNAPA was formed to provide support for parents of midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy. It is comprised of parents of current midshipmen and USNA graduates from Wisconsin.
Being a midshipman’s parent is very different than being a parent of a student at a civilian college. At WISNAPA, members share the joys and challenges associated with academy life.
WISNAPA membership is open to any individual with interest in the United States Naval Academy.
- Membership meetings, featuring speakers who provide insight into the life of Midshipmen & service members in the Navy & Marine Corps. Meetings are held in the fall, early spring & prior to Induction Day.
- Plebe & New Family Orientation at a “Welcome Aboard” meeting where we provide information for life at USNA over the short & long term.
- Care packages, sent twice a year (fall & spring) to Midshipmen of general members.
- Social events that allow one to strengthen their ties with other parents in the organization.
- WISNAPA website & Facebook page that keeps one connected by providing links, events, & other useful information. To view certain of the pages on our website, please submit a contact form requesting it. To join us on Facebook, simply request it on the Facebook group. Remember that you must be members to access/join both!
- A birthday card & gifte sent to general members’ Midshipmen.
