Youth Camps

Our focus is our summer youth camp programs.  We offer programs for ages 5-17.  W.C.A. is a residential camp that provides overnight opportunities for most age groups.

Activities

The 40 acre property allows for many opportunities to enjoy God’s creation.  You may enjoy some time at the vespers, a natural campfire area, or even hiking the many trails.  Other recreational activities include softball, soccer, football, sand volleyball, basketball, four square, gaga ball, tetherball, carpetball and a jungle gym playground area.  If you prefer indoor activities, we have some of those for you as well, including, ping pong and foosball.  There are definitely many activities for all ages at Wilderness Christian Assembly Camp!

3. GIVING OPPORTUNITY!  Wilderness Christian Assembly offers several opportunities for children to attend camp.  The price for each camp session is only 25% of what the actual cost is to run the session.  That leaves a 75% GAP between what it costs and what we charge.  We are asking you to help Stand in that GAP!   If you would like to donate, please refer to the registration form.  All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

4. Please note:  All camp sessions are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis, based upon when your REGISTRATION, HEALTH FORM, AND DEPOSIT are received by our office.  Please send your registration and deposit as early as possible to ensure availability in your desired session.

You must contact the camp office prior to dismissal if there is any change in regards to whom we are to release your child.
