Camp Winadu

Winadu helps Haiti

Long before the recent devasting earthquake, the Camp Winadu community extended to this impoverished corner of the world. In 2003, Camp Winadu founded a program that enables men from Haiti to work at camp, primarily on the kitchen/dining room and maintenance staffs. Their summer earnings from Camp Winadu go into the infrastructure of a co-op of 9 villages, building the only school. At the same time, the Haitian staff members joyfully share their culture with camp with special songs and music at Campership. Shelley, Jerry Charson, Winadu's head Chef, and longtime Camp Winadu friend, Bob Petricca will be making their second trip to Haiti this April to help rebuild the school destroyed by the earthquake.

Winadu Sports-a-Thon

Winadu campers participate in a camp-wide sports-a-thon to raise funds for the Ethan H. Freed Winadu Scholarship Fund. From lay ups to football tosses to soccer goals, each camper challenges himself to do the best he can, supported by the sponsorship of family and friends. The whole Winadu community comes together in support of this worthy cause.

America's Camp

Camp Winadu was a proud participant in the 9 summers of America’s Camp, a one-week camp for children of 9/11 victims.
