Come Explore with us!
I am Brad Cripe, Camp and Adventure Programs Director here at Camp Winnebago. I have been working with Summer Camps on a number of levels for more than 10 years and an very proud to help carry on the traditions here at Camp Winnebago.
In the summer brochure it says, "Children who are in touch with their natural world are healthier, perform better in school and have better self-images." I truly believe that, and feel Camp Winnebago is the perfect place to ignite an interest in the outdoors and experience the benefits of being connected with nature!
Im looking forwarding to seeing all of the smiling faces again this summer.
