Frequently Asked Questions
Where will I be sleeping?
All participants live in gender-specific cabins with other students from their school. Most cabins sleep up to 12 people.
All cabins are electrically equipped and have smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and indoor lighting. Each cabin has bunkbeds, so you get to choose whether you get the top or bottom bunk!
Washrooms are a short walk away from each of our cabins and have flush toilets, running hot water, private showers and change rooms. Paths to the washrooms are lit at nighttime.
Mattresses are provided in the cabins. Make sure you bring with you to Camp a warm sleeping bag, a pillow, flashlight, and even some things to remind you of home!
What is the food like?
Food at Wenonah is hearty and delicious! Our professional food service teams provides three meals a day served buffet style in the Boyes Lodge, plus a yummy snack each evening.
Each visiting group has assigned tables in the Lodge. You sit with the other students from your school, and your teachers and a Wenonah staff member.
What happens if you have a special diet? All we ask is that you and your teacher know this before you come to Camp, so that we can prepare an alternative meal for you.
If you have a nut allergy, then you will be okay at Wenonah! We are “nut aware” at Camp, and do not serve any meals that contain nuts or nut products.

What do I need to bring?
We are pleased to provide a full clothing and personal item list to help you pack for Camp. Items on the list are necessary for the health, safety and enjoyment of the Camp experience.
While at Camp, you will be engaged in a number of active outdoor activities and programs. As such it is very important that you are well prepared for a variety of weather conditions.
We encourage you to choose functionality over fashion and to be prepared for clothing to get dirty while having fun at Camp!
To prevent the loss of items, please label all clothing and personal items with your name using a marker or laundry pen.
