At W.O.W. we try our best to make your camping stay with us something you will remember! If there is anything we can help you with to make your stay more enjoyable just ask. We're always interested in what you have to say about your visit here. Did you have a nice time? Is there something else we could have done for you?Please let us know.
A few tips from past campers to further enjoy your stay:
Don't be shy. Say “hi” to your neighbor.(They could be your next new best friend.)
Wave to a passerby.(It could be someone you already know)
Leave any unnecessary headaches at the dumpster.(Just bring you and your family)
If you're not here to have fun, relax, breathe, then please, back it up.....
Weekend activities at W.O.W. include:
Fridays: Dart nights. Please feel free to come down to the rec hall for a fun filled night of darts. It only costs $5.00 to play for cash prizes. You can even bring an appetizer.
Saturdays: In the morning, at posted times, we want the kids to come and meet at the rec hall. We could have a craft scheduled. They could be going on a nature hike or scavenger hunt. There could be games going on, or a movie to watch. Kids, check the event boards when you arrive to see what's going on.
*Wagon rides: We try to roll with the tides. Please check the office for tide times. It usually takes approximately one hour to get to the look-off, watch the bore and the rafters, and then return.
*Bingo: Bingo will be posted on event boards but, remember, when it is called “Chocolate Bar Bingo, sorry adults it's just for kids. All your child needs is one chocolate bar to be able to play.
*Fireworks: These are usually scheduled for holiday weekends and/or special occasions. As with all other events these are posted as well.
*Bands: We have live entertainment usually on holiday weekends. But sometimes we get the unexpected happen, and we call that a bonus!
