Great experience for an elementary school field trip!

★★★★★Melissa Rodriguez

Great area for children to play and explore. I love going to the Easter Egg Hunts. Then in the Fall the hayride,crafts and punkins.

★★★★★April Roxtar

The staff is amazing! They're so great with the kids and their creativity is outstanding! We are so excited for the "off season" activities and my kids both said they want to be ACs when they're grown! I am so happy with this organization. Thank you so much for all that you do to serve our community and the children within.

Camp Winnebago is truly a gem . My kids love camp. They get so many quality experiences outdoors. We hope to have the kids attend camp every summer. Great program. Excellent, caring staff members

★★★★★Andrea McKenna

Camp Winnebago is such a treasure. My daughter has spent the last two summers there, and she’s eagerly awaiting her third! The staff and counselors are wonderful. They are so kind and patient and hardworking and fun. They have created a really great community for the kids. Whether your kids go for a week or two, or for the whole summer, they should go! It is an experience of pure childhood summer magic.
