Because we are a Wilderness Camp, our activity areas are spread out and walking is a part of the daily routine. It is about ¼ mile from the tent areas to the Wilderness Camp Pavilion. The Retreat Center swimming pool and snack shop are ½ mile away from the Pavilion. The terrain can be rough and uneven, so it is important that all participants be fully mobile to participate.
We have two distinct sleeping areas for the genders and 20 raised platform tents total. Approximately eight campers sleep with their counselor(s) within the appropriate tenting area. Large canvas tents are situated on a 16 x 16' or 16 x 20’ raised wooden platform with 4’ tall side walls and an 8’ ridge in the center. Each campsite has a cooking ring, picnic table, and seating area. There is no water or electric at any of the campsites. However, guys and girls each have access to two separate spacious bathhouses that are within a short walk of the tents.
There are plenty sheltered areas around camp (pavilions, bathhouses, tents, snack shop, etc), but much of our program occurs outdoors or in open air buildings. Insects, weather, and animals can impact any outdoor camping experience and it is important that campers come prepared for outdoor activity. We take seriously our job to care for the physical needs of your child when at camp.
