Greetings White Memorial Camp Family,
After much soul-searching, debate, research, prayer, and communication with health and safetyorganizations, WMC has concluded that we are unable to operate our 2020 Camp Season with aquality camp experience our campers have come to know and love, while still keeping everyone safeduring the current COVID-19 Pandemic. We have made the decision that most White Memorial Campsessions and partner camps will be cancelled for the 2020 season. Currently, we plan to operate LocalKids to Camp, because it is limited to our local population. WMC will be contacting campers over thenext two weeks to discuss the options available regarding registration fees and deposits.
White Memorial Camp Cancellations Include:
Arrowhead
Cottonwood
Last Blast
Cornerstone Camps
Young Adventurers
Prairie Run Cross Country
Camp Celebrate
Family Camp
Ag Camp
WMC serves youth of all ages, adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and individualswith a wide array of health needs. Camper safety has always come first at WMC and now is noexception. The safety guidelines and recommendations set forth for Resident Camps are well thoughtout. When considering the logistics of adapting our camp to this structure, it did not add up to anenjoyable WMC experience. If we could have figured out a way to run our traditional camps, wewould have. Instead, we have set our sights on the future and developing an incredibly awesome2021 camp season!
COVID-19 has proven to cause difficult and disheartening times for many. Please know that you are not alone— we are all in this together. Camp is not just a place. Camp is the people. Camp is the experience. You can still capture the camp magic this summer. Try reaching out to your WMC friends, sing some camp tunes, play camp games with your friends or family, and show us your bests’mores recipe from home!
WMC wants to bring as much connection into your lives as we can. Check out our social media, call or email us, and stay connected. We will offer videos, pictures of camp, staff, virtual hang-out sessions, family staycation packages, camp kits, discounts on 2021 registration, contests, and more.

As soon as we can be together again safely, we will. And it will be so much fun!
