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.
