★★★★★Lizzy DeeThese beautiful lands and historic buildings can't be missed. My family and I all grew up going to camp there and working there. It has rich tradition shared with the campers and they are taught to respect the legends. We also sang together and cheered with our cabin to try to achieve "honor hut". Camp Winnetaska is a place to meet God. We are taught God is there for us through the storms and the sunny days. There is much to do during the days and the night activities are themed differently each night. Come visit. Send your kids there. It's amazing. .
★★★★★Brandy MusickOur Daughter looks forward to Camp Winnastaka all year. She began as a chico camper and fell in love. It's an amazing experience for busy girls to take a week off and enjoy the beautiful scenery and make memories that will last a lifetime.
