Registration Procedure

About the Camp

Camp Winnataska has a dining hall, infirmary with a registered nurse on duty (24 hours a day), canteen, gym with basketball court, canoes, stables and a new barn, activity fields, swimming pool, craft hut, ropes courses, 33-acre lake and miles of hiking trails.

Campers live in cabins with campers of the same age. The huts are named for Indian tribes: Seminole, Creek, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Choctaw, and Navajo. Each cabin has beds with mattresses, electricity, and nearby bathhouse. Four or five counselors stay in the cabins with the campers.

Mail

Because the quality and quantity of meals served each day will be more than adequate for the campers and food in the huts can create problems, please do not send food items to your camper. Mail sent to the Birmingham address may never reach your child.

We request NO LARGE PACKAGES, PLEASE! Send campers' mail in nothing bigger than a manila envelope!!

Letters to the campers should be addressed to:

Name of Camper
Cabin Name
Camp Winnataska
260 Winnataska Dr.
Pell City, AL 35128

Emergency Telephone Number:

Emergency telephone calls should be made to 205.640.4248. The emergency message will be handled through the Program Director and then be delivered to the camper.
