1)Q:

When and where is the PARTY? How much does it cost?

A:A: George's PARTY will be Saturday, 24 with a cookout at 5:00 at the dining hall. Guests are welcome on camp from August 19- 25. The cost for 1 adult for the weekend is $60, with an additional charge of $25 per family to stay on camp. Please refer to the website for more detailed prices.

2)Q:

Does George still own the camp?

A:George sold the camp to Hutter Construction in 1994. They use it as a recreational facility for their employees.

3)Q:

Is camp the same?

A:Some parts of camp look about the same as they ever have, some don't. The girls' side hasn't changed much. The barn is very different. The Red Line, Polish and German Wings, Ring 1, and the Tack Room are gone. The manure pile has been levelled out. Hutter has done some clearing and levelling between the boys' and girls' side, created a new road and a softball field, and knocked down some of the boys' cabins and green cabin. Two winters ago, the Yellow Rec Hall & Cabin 1 Girls' collapsed under heavy snow load. **sniff!** The A-frame dining hall still stands. The gymnasium, Ring 3 and the vaulting area look the same. There are horseshoe pits, a zip-line and obstacle course. The lake is as

beautiful as ever.

5)Q:

What are the on camp accomodations like?

A:Girls' cabins 2, 3, 4, & 5 are available. Boys' cabins 3, 4, 9, & 10 are available. There are also two new cabins that are quite fancy, with indoor baths. Hutter bought new mattresses for all the cabins. You should bring your own pillows, sleeping bags and/or sheets and blankets.

There are also 10 tentsites on the Boys' side, and 4 RV hookups

6)Q:

What are the bath facilities like?

A:There is a new bathhouse on the boys' side with men's and women's shower rooms. The girls' side has bathrooms in the cabins and shower houses on the hills, as it has been since the 80s and 90s.

7)Q: When are meals served?

A: Meals will be available from Friday evening through Sunday morning. The birthday celebration on Saturday will be a cookout at the dining hall.

8)Q:

If I stay off camp, which hotel/motel is the closest?

A:The closest facilities are The Greenfield Inn, The Maplehurst in Antrim, The Econo Lodge in Bennington, The Inn at Crotched Mountain in Francestown, and the Hancock Inn. None of them is more than 10-15 minutes away

9)Q:

Q: Is the PARTY an adults-only event?

A: Certainly not! Winamac has always been a place where kids of all ages can come and play. That hasn't changed - bring your whole family, please! We have events planned for all ages

10)Q:

Are there horses at camp? Can we go boating?

A: Unfortunately, there are no stables and no horses at camp. We wish it were otherwise, but there will only be memories of horses at the reunion. Also, there are a few boats at camp. And you can always B.Y.O.B. (Bring your own boat!)

12)Q:

What should we bring?

A:Bring warm clothes, bug dope, musical instruments, sporting equipment, your Winamac photos, slides, audio and video tapes.

11)Q:

How do I get to camp?

A:Do not go to Grants' Tomb. Please refer to the General Info Page for descriptions of local travel by bus, train, and plane. We will be posting driving directions on the website soon, and will also send those out to anyone who requests them.

13)Q:

How soon should I R.S.V.P.?

A:As soon as possible. We would like to have a good idea of how many people are coming by July 31, so that we can order food.

4)Q:

Will George & Mrs. A be there?

A:George and Mrs. A will be at camp, waiting for you to arrive! Cindy, Sandy, and Pete Athans will also be there, as will many other notable Winamac figures!

15)Q:

What about parking?

We want to minimize vehicle traffic, so those of you who are staying on the girls' side can park at the barn. There is a new road from the old new manure dump to the boys' side. You can take that road to the boys' side if you are staying there. Expect to walk to activities.
