Special Events
Traditions at Wyonegonic
We host a variety of special events throughout the summer. Generations of campers have participated in these traditional activities.
Sunday Grove
Each Sunday all of the camp gathers in our Pine Grove for a non-denominational service. Each unit takes a turn in leading and participating. A theme is chosen and presented through music, dance, poetry, and creative readings to the rest of the camp. At the conclusion, all cabin groups are invited to share their thoughts on the chosen theme.
Fourth of July
We start celebrating Independence Day with a reenactment of Paul Revere’s famous ride. Interested campers and staff participate in the Four on the Fourth Road Race in Bridgton. In the afternoon, the entire camp population attends a cookout at the Sudduth Farmhouse. We complete the day with a campfire in camp at Campfire Point celebrating America and honoring our international friends at camp. Campers show their spirit and dress in red, white, and blue!
Evening Program
Nearly every night, there are different Evening Programs (EP) in the three units. EPs are very popular with both campers and staff and are a chance for the unit to spend time together. Examples include scavenger hunts, newspaper fashions, skits, water games, camper hunts, capture the flag, and group games. Others are special events like Goldrush and all camp Campfires. Every summer, new staff bring fresh ideas to mix with the traditional favorites.
Wyoween
Every July 31, Wyonegonic celebrates Wyoween! Costume contests and Halloween-themed events make the day a fun treat. Senior campers love their haunted walk after dark.
Leaders Party
George N. Sudduth Memorial Road Race
Each August, we host a fun road race from the Sudduth Farmhouse to the Ordway Farmhouse at Winona Camps. Many campers, staff, and alumni run the four-mile course in honor of George N. Sudduth, who was the Camp Director from 1965 – 1991. The CITs are involved with the preparation and planning of the event. Afterward, there is a cookout at the Farmhouse, where barbecue chicken and watermelon are served for the entire camp.
