Only found weapons (zip guns), no drugs. A couple of years before I showed up, the camp had a staff member that was a professional artist for comic book covers. That's why the mess hall had ceiling banners. The banners were for "Color War". The camp in the 6th week (boys and girls), would be split into two teams.

Spent 1 summer of my childhood here. In 1995 or 1996. Used to be called Camp Wabenaki. Nice place. Lots of memories.

Beautiful Camp. Wonderful staff!

Camp Winonah is an overnight camp for inner city, at risk youth.
