2025 WILDERNESS CAMPS
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
Picture
During the Wilderness programs, the students 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, horse back riding and other activities. Please remind your camper that there will be no flush toilets, electricity or normal showers. This is a wilderness experience so campers need to come prepared to use Porta-Johns and portable showers.
