There was an update today from council that due to staffing issues, Winona will NOT open as sleep away camp this year. They are extending the lottery submission deadline until 2/15 at 6am (so really 2/14).
-----------------------------------------------------

It is with deep regret that we have made the decision to not open Camp Winona as a traditional sleep-away camp for summer camp season 2022. We continue to deal with the consequences of the COIVD-19 global pandemic including the challenge of hiring seasonal camp staff. Currently, we do not anticipate hiring enough staff to support 3 sleep-away camps. Potomac Woods and May Flather staffing continue to be a priority and we are on track to open those camps. Please know that this was a difficult decision and has come after a great deal of consideration.
We realize that some families were waiting for Camp Winona’s registration lottery, so we wanted to make this announcement in a timely fashion. Because this option is no longer available, we will be extending the lottery for Camps Potomac Woods and May Flather. THE LOTTERY WILL BE EXTENDED UNTIL TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15 AT 6 AM.
The following information is copied from our January 26 update found on this page of our website: www.gscnc.org/sleepawaycamp
Submit your camper’s lottery entry here: form.jotform.com/GSCNCCamping/2022-sleep-away-lottery.
This lottery will allow parents to select up to 6 program preferences, provided there are 6 or more programs advertised for your camper's age group. View our program grid here. You will be able to put in the name of 1 (one) buddy and any siblings, and answer the following questions:
Buddy: Please select an option. More restrictive selections may limit placement as spots are limited and selected randomly. If your camper has a sibling close in age that they would like to be placed in the same program with, please list them as a buddy, NOT a sibling.
No Buddy: My camper does not need to attend camp with a buddy
Buddy Required: My camper will ONLY attend camp if they are placed in the same program as their buddy
Buddy Preferred: My camper would prefer to attend camp with their buddy but will still attend camp even if they are not placed in the same program as their buddy
Sibling(s): Please select an option. More restrictive selections may limit placement as spots are limited and selected randomly.
No Sibling(s): My camper does not need to attend camp with sibling(s)
Sibling(s) Required - Same Camp Location: My camper will ONLY attend camp if they are placed in the same week at the same camp location as their sibling(s)
Sibling(s) Required - Different Camp Location: My camper will ONLY attend camp if they are placed in the same week as their sibling(s), but they do not both have to be attending the same camp location (i.e. one camper at May Flather, one camper at Potomac Woods).
Sibling(s) Preferred: My camper would prefer to attend the same camp week as their sibling(s) but will still attend camp even if they are not placed in the same week and/or camp location as their sibling(s).
 
The Council is currently developing program/training opportunities that will take place at Winona this summer. However, these programs will not operate like a traditional sleep-away camp. Current ideas for programming include Me & My Gal/Guy, adult training opportunities, and day program events. More information about these opportunities will be available on our Council website by March 22. [/quote]
