If daily activities are the core of the Winona experience, the special events make up some of the most enjoyable and unique memories while at camp!

Daily Events:

Medicine Stick Showings – everyone is on an Indian tribe team. The object is to show the stick successfully gaining points for your tribe, while the other tribes attempt to catch the stick. Points accumulate throughout the summer.
Bat Showings – Can happen any day when you least expect it!

Cookouts - on Wednesday and Saturday nights and Sunday morning.
Movie night – each Tuesday the entire camp gathers in the Cobb for a recent big screen movie, including soda and popcorn!
