Accommodations
Question – What are the lodging accommodations?
Answer – Wi-Ne-Ma is a Christian Camp that has bunkhouse cabins. We typically try to put only 6 – 8 people in each cabin, but most can sleep up to 10. We try to avoid utilizing the top bunks as much as possible.
Question – Do I need to bring bedding?
Answer – This is primarily a youth camp with standard-sized twin beds. Each bed has a mattress, you are responsible for all bedding. If you would like additional comfort, consider a bed topper.
Question – Is there RV parking?
Answer – We have limited RV parking available, so please request that on your registration. First come, first serve.
Roommates
Question – Could I request a specific room or roommate(s)?
Answer– Yes, we allow you to request lodging with up to six (6) others when you register online; we will do our best to accommodate either request.
Companion Pet
Question – May I bring my companion dog/pet?
Answer – We are sorry, the camp rules do not allow animals.
Food
Question – What kind of food can I expect on the menu?
Answer – The meals are pretty generic cafeteria-style; the camp kitchen staff offers limited options.
