| If it is a rainy summer, what activities are available to the boys?
We have lots of buildings for activities, regardless of weather conditions.
Also many outdoor activities take place, too. We subscribe to the LL
Bean motto: "Weather conditions don't matter as long as you have
appropriate outdoor clothing.
When do Winona boys and Wyonegonic girls "get
together?”
Siblings visit each Sunday afternoon. Several play days and camp fires
are scheduled for Intermediate and Senior campers during the summer.
When
may I visit my son?
Parents are encouraged to visit their sons except during the first
ten days of each session and the last 5 days of camp in August, until
Awards Night. Parents are welcome to join us for Saturday night cookouts.
May
I take my sons’ camp friends out of camp?
Our policy does not allow any camper out of camp with anyone other
than his parent or guardian, unless by prior written permission by
the parent or guardian.
May I call my son on the telephone?
Boys are allowed a telephone call at mealtimes from their family on
their birthday. You may write, email, or fax your sons.
When might the
boys leave camp?
Campers have many opportunities to go out of camp, such as for athletic
events, mountain trips, canoe rips, kayak trips and rock climbing trips.
If you wish to take your sons out of camp for a few hours, please contact
the office several days in advance.
Who would be transporting the boys on trips and activities?
The boys normally travel in vans with trained drivers and certified
trip leaders. On occasion, charter buses are used.
What safety precautions
are employed during riflery and water activities?
All rifle and waterfront staff are certified, having attended pre-camp
training clinics. Most are "veterans" who return for many
years. Swimming programs have one lifeguard for every 10 campers in
the water. Everyone wears a PFD (personal flotation device) in any
type of watercraft.
