Purpose

White Memorial Camp Management, Inc. (WMC) and their team are dedicated to providing an environment that allows all peoples from various religious, spiritual, and non-affiliated backgrounds to grow through worship, education and study and to develop a sense of community while having the opportunity to enjoy the unique setting that is White Memorial Camp.

WMC has nearly 60 years of tradition and experience providing unique, quality summer camp opportunities for all peoples. WMC has one of the most unique geological campgrounds around. Where else can you find a peninsula in the prairie? We are removed enough to provide a serene, secluded experience with modern accommodations to make you feel right at home. We are one of the few camps in the state providing residential opportunities for adults with I/DD including adaptive activities, specialized diets, nursing and staff care and more. Our passion for inclusion and building strong social skills drives our numerous activities. We utilize our ziplines, rockwalls, giant swings, axe throwing, shooting sports, fishing, kayaking, disc golf, prairie surfing and other hobbies to help facilitate our mission through good old fashioned outdoor fun.

Brief History:

White Memorial Camp and Retreat Center (WMC) was originally owned and operated by the Kansas-Oklahoma Conference of the United Church of Christ after the land was donated to the Conference in 1962 by a prominent local family donated in memory of W.H. and Sarah White. For 50 years the K-O Conference ran camps for youth ranging K-12th grade as well as retreats for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Camp is now a separate 501(c)3 non profit organization with close ties to the United Church of Christ. Now a 501c3 nonprofit, White Memorial Camp Management Group, Inc. continues to carry on the legacy of WMC by opening its doors to a broader audience allowing all to experience the joy and wonder of this unique place, disconnect from their daily routine by experiencing the outdoors, and building community.Show less
