Wilderness Camps
If you like sleeping outdoors, cooking over an open fire, playing intense games in the forest,
and canoeing pretty much everywhere you go... then our Wilderness Camps are just for you!
Wilderness camps offer so much - learning new wilderness skills, cooking meals outside,
building your own lean-to’s, canoe training, and plenty more awesome opportunities
that are always fun and exciting.
As a Wilderness camper you will start your week off at Site II where you will have
an amazing time playing with our ropes course, sliding into our mud pit, and battling
each other in a legendary game of sponge wars! Fantastic campouts happen deep in the forest,
and this is a great time to play intense camp games, have awesome campfires, and explore
God’s creation in a fun and exciting way.
With a maximum of 20 campers each camp, you will be sure to get to know each other well!
