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 – Unfortunately we do not have RV parking this year. The camp may have additional RV spots but you will need to contact the camp directly. If you choose to go this route your cost at SIS will still be the same. We do not discount the price if you choose to stay in another location. Sorry about the inconvenience.

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.

Question – If I have dietary restrictions, will there be additional options?

Answer – If you have special dietary needs, please consider bringing your meals and snacks, as options may not be available.

Raffle & Swag

Question –  Is there swag for sale?

Answer – Yes, we will have an online store on the website until May 1st. The items ordered will be at SIS for pick up. There will be a limited amount of swag for sale at the retreat.

Question –  Do you take credit or debit cards for swag or raffle?

Answer – Yes, we prefer cash (because we pay a fee), but we will be able to use cards.

Volunteering

Question – When I agree to volunteer for 2 hours, what kinds of jobs are they?

Answer – For example, making coffee, helping in the hospitality room, or running errands around camp. We could not run a successful retreat without you!
