Wilderness Camps 2022


During the Wilderness programs, the youth will be camping out in the woods in our rustic wilderness huts. This will be an adventure that will include Bible lessons and cooking meals over an open fire. Other activities may include a canoe trip, group games, target archery, archery tag, shooting air rifles, swimming, kayaking, horseback riding and other activities. Please remind your campers that there are no flush toilets, electricity or the normal showers. This is a wilderness experience so campers need to be prepared to use Porta-Johns and portable showers. (Female campers also need to leave their curling irons, hair dryers and make-up at home.)
Please register as soon as you can. Space is limited for Wilderness Camps!
