Celebrate Winnataska at These Events
August 23-25, 2024
Registration opens March 8!
Friends of Winnataska Day
In appreciation of all our Friends who have helped make Winnataska a success, we invite you to enjoy an afternoon at camp. We have designated Saturday, July 6th as Friends of Winnataska Day. We will provide lunch and have program areas open for your enjoyment. Please come out and see how your contributions of time, talent, and treasure are benefitting the camp that we love the best of all.
Mother-Daughter Weekend
Mother-Daughter Weekend has been planned for August 23-25, 2024. We can’t wait to welcome moms and their camper-aged daughters to a weekend at Camp Winnataska. We will have all of your favorite camp activities, as well as night activities, Bible lessons, devotions and more.
We have so many fun and meaningful activities planned for Mother-Daughter Weekend, so make sure you stay tuned here for up to date info!
Our Mother Daughter Weekend is open to girls who will be current kindergartners through 9th graders for the 24-25 school year and their mom or female guardian.
The Winnataska Pumpkin Patch
For one weekend each October, Winnataska turns into a pumpkin patch! Visitors can take a wagon ride through the woods to a picturesque patch to pick the perfect pumpkin.
Visitors can also visit our goats and chickens, play fall games, visit the Craft Hut for face painting, roast marshmallows over a fire by the creek, or get active in a bounce house.
We also offer the opportunity to mine for gems or have a horseback trail ride through the lovely fall forest. The Canteen will be open for lunch and snacks.
Winnataska needs YOU! This event requires a LOT of volunteer support to be successful. This is also a great opportunity for Corporate Sponsors to show their support as it attracts visitors from both the nearby community and the larger Birmingham area. If you are interested in helping with this fundraiser, please contact info@friendsofwinnataska.org.
Opt Outside Hike
In 2015, the outdoor supply company REI didn’t open its doors on Black Friday, instead, giving their employees a paid day off to “Opt Outside” with their friends and family. Many other outdoor companies and not-for-profits have since joined with them in this campaign, including Camp Winnataska. We gather for a hike somewhere on our property, and then have s’mores around a campfire. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends, and is a FREE event.
Candles and Carols
Join us as we gather for a candlelight service of Christmas Lessons and Carols. Bring a treat to share in the Dining Hall afterward.
