CAMP PROGRAM INFO: YMCA Camp Winona provides a great traditional, overnight camping experience. We try to balance tradition with the interests of today’s campers by offering fun, exciting and safe activities. Campers are grouped by age and gender and stay in small rustic cabins complete with built in bunk beds and air conditioning. There are up to 12 campers and two staff in each cabin surrounding centrally located bathhouses. Our meals are prepared by our camp chefs and served family style in our air conditioned dining hall. Our well-balanced meals include cereal, salad bar and sandwich options for those campers wishing an alternative/supplement to the meal. We are equipped to accommodate food allergies and special dietary needs.
At the Y, we believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Our Resident Camp provides an exciting, safe community for young people to explore the outdoors, build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills, create lasting friendships and make incredible memories. Our goals are to assist campers in learning by providing balanced growth in the following ways: * To develop the responsibility for one's self and others * To nurture self-confidence, good habits and sound moral values * To promote an atmosphere which increases new interests and skills without fear or failure * To develop in one's life a respect for individual differences among all God's people and creations * To encourage good social skills through the experience of community living. Everyone is welcome. The YMCA Resident Camp experience is for all boys and girls regardless of race, creed or national origin.
