Winona Camps for Boys subscribe to the ethical practices adopted by the American Camp Association delegates:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The members of the American Camp Association recognize and support the concept that custody of others' lives and welfare as well as the earth and its living things, calls for reverence for such life, in dedication and commitment to a higher good. Whatever form such a dedication and commitment may take, it must be essentially moral in nature. The members further:

  • recognize and support the objectives that the well-being of the camper is primary.
  • recognize and support the concept that a camp is necessarily a total community within the society, with significant impact upon its inhabitants' capacity to learn, grow, develop, assimilate values, create and relate to other persons and the earth.
  • accept, respect and will be responsive to the rich diversity of our society.
  • recognize and support the concept of an ecological conscience that a thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community.
