Camp Winnebagoe provides an all-around camping experience with a balance of unbelievable programming (Go Grey!), sports, activities, and arts. With this variety, each child is able to try new things and find who they are as they grow and develop. One of my favourite things about camp is its smaller size. As a camper I loved that I recognized everyone and as a Unit Head I saw that this made it possible to meet the needs of each camper.
My summers at Camp Winnebagoe helped to shape who I am as a person. Now, 25 years after my first summer, my best friend are still my camp friends. I met my husband at Winnebagoe and discovered my passion for teaching. I developed independence, shed my shyness, and fueled my love of musical theatre. My summers at Winny were simply unforgettable.
We are often asked if we would send our children to Winnebagoe. As a parentm as a teacher, and as someone who grew up at camp – the answer is always yes.
