2007 Consumer Confidence Report

Welcome to a new look web site. The aim is to help you find out what you need to participate in the ministry and programs of Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp. There are several new things for 2008. Check back often through the Spring as program elements are added.
Something new for 2008 will be the opportunity to take advantage of significant savings by registering early for the 2008 camps and conferences. This can benefit our campers by reducing the cost to attend a camp session. Early registration also helps those who plan the camp sessions.
For youth camps early registration and full payment by June 1, 2008 a $10 discount will be applied.
For the Family Camps including Christian Heritage Conference, Week of Missions, Family Bible Conference, and Septemberfest a 20% discount will be applied to those who register and pay in full by three months ahead of the conference session. Registration and payment by one month ahead of the session will result in a 10% discount.
Even if the registration is received after these discount deadlines, there will not be any late fees applied. The registrant will simply pay the base price.
Online registration is now open. You can also download and print a paper registration form. For those who register online, the discount will be applied after full payment is received and the discount refunded to your credit card.
MISSIONS BUILDING UPDATE July 19, 2008
The Groundbreaking Ceremony was held for the new Missions Building on May 26. Those that attended had the opportunity to sign their names on a copy of the plans and then turn over some dirt with the golden shovel. Manager Leroy Shepherd challenged the group to remember what God has done over the years in the Missions Building and to look forward to what He will continue to do among those who use the new and upgraded structure.
A new fund raising program was introduced titled "Our Devotion-His Glory." To this point we have dreamed of a new Missions Building that would replace and upgrade the existing structure to meet the demands of all the groups that use the Camp. Over the last five years we have raised $290,000 toward the $700,000 needed for this building. Most of the $290,000 came in the last three years through the Our Dream-His Glory campaign and from the annual Friends of Wi-Ne-Ma Day Benefit Auction.
We are moving ahead with physical construction this fall. We have a construction loan from Oregon Coast Bank that will help us get the new Missions Building up and in service. Financial gifts received from the Our Devotion-His Glory campaign will help to minimize the amount of the loan we need to draw on. Then as the building is completed those gifts will go towards paying off the loan quickly.
Watch your mailbox for more information on how to participate in the Our Devotion-His Glory campaign.
Currently the plans are working their way through the permit process with Tillamook County. The steel building package has been ordered and is expected to arrive in August. Demolition of the existing building and site preparation is scheduled to occur in September. Several things to pray for: the permit process, construction timing, praise for those who have given so much to get us to this point in the project, for a good response to the new fundraising efforts, and for good weather throughout the Fall.
In September a page will be added to the Camp website (
www.winema.org) where pictures and updates of the construction will be posted.
