Throughout the Summer, we take time to acknowledge the significants contributions many have made to enrich the Camp experience for us all.
Our awards program is important to us. It gives us an opportunity to celebrate campers and staff that go above and beyond as leaders, as community members, and as friends to us all. Award recipients symbolize the values that make life at Wenonah so special. Simply put, Camp is a better place because of their contributions.
Spirit Of Wenonah Award
The Spirit of Wenonah Award is presented to acknowledge campers that have helped to immeasurably further the ideals of community, leadership and citizenship during their time at Camp. Each month we select one female and one male camper that make many positive, thoughtful, considerate and lasting contributions to life at Camp Wenonah.

Schaefer Scholarship
Since its inception, Camp Wenonah has been nurtured by a large number of people who have worked passionately towards providing the very best in program, leadership, service and facility. Two individuals who contributed greatly to Wenonah are Jeff’s parents, Patricia & Bruce Schaefer. To honour their significant contributions to Wenonah, the Schaefer Scholarships were created to recognize staff members for their outstanding contributions to life at Camp.

Service Without Recognition
At Wenonah, are fortunate to have a special bond with Lord and Lady Somers Camp in Australia. We have over several years welcomed both campers and staff from Somers and in turn, a number of familiar Wenonah faces have made their way to Somers (just south of Melbourne). At Somers, the experience is framed by the simple idea of “service without recognition.” The thought that unselfish service defines the experience resonated at Wenonah, and this award was inspiried to acknowledge those that maintain the very essence of unselfish service at Wenonah. A plaque hangs in the Lodge at Camp. It reads simply that the Service Without Recognition award is “presented annually to a Wenonah staff member that best exhibits the high ideals of service.”
