Home: Senior : Special Events and Socials

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! Senior has many special events which occur only in that unit because of the ages of the campers.

Campfires with Wyonegonic – Our sister camp is located six miles down Moose Pond. The senior units get together, about five times throughout the summer. The events include Wyo drama productions, campfires and an end of season Playday/ Dance.

Daily Events:

• Totem Showings – everyone is on a team depending on which tent they are in, odds or evens. The object is to show the totem (which changes each summer) successfully gaining points for your team, while the other team attempts to catch the totem. Points accumulate throughout the summer.
• Bat Showings – Can happen any day when you least expect it!

Weekly Events

• 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! Wyo also sends a few tents over each week to watch the movie… or socialize!
• Tent time – on Sunday nights each tent does an evening program as a group.

Summer Events

• Portland Sea Dogs Baseball – the AA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Once each session, a group of seniors travels to Portland to enjoy some minor league baseball.
• Winona Night – the first all camp gathering and welcome each season.
• Field Day – the first Sunday afternoon each season. Hosted by the CIT’s, all types of fun events, 40 yard dash, obstacle course, tug-o-war and more!
