Youth Camp 2018
All Camp Wightman’s Summer 2018 Youth Camp sessions include a full range of camptivities (we have more than 50 in eight categories) as well as our faith formation, social, and special events programs, so no matter the session theme (like Campolodeon or Summer’s Last Blast) campers will have a well-rounded experience with lots of choice, new friends, wacky “only-at-camp” events, and the opportunity to grow in their relationship with God and Jesus Christ.

Please check the Youth Camp Availability Chart for any programs marked with a "YCAC"at the end of their blurb. This will help you know what spaces are available without having to call the camp office. Please remember that in order to be placed on a Wait List for any SOLD OUT program, a camper must be registered for Summer 2018. Directions are available in our Online Registration information on the Registration page.
June 24-29: Dangerous & Daring for ages 6-8, 9-12, & 13-16
Register by February 4 and use these 2017 rates -- $565 / $515 / $465
Discover activities like deciphering spy codes, DIY catapult-building, or short court tennis. Maybe you'll build your own campfire, check out the stars, or explore archery, bushwhacking, or fishing? Try your hand at simple batik or paper marbling or building the BEST paper airplanes. Special events include Minute To Win It Palooza, Full Moon Palooza, and a Particularly Persnickety Pirate Palooza. Immerse yourself in D&D, launch into Summer 2018, and experience this awesome beginning to our 63rd Summer!
June 24-27: MINI D&D with Extend-A-Stay for ages 6-8
Register by February 4 and use these 2017 rates -- $315
Explore Camp W and Dangerous & Daring during this three-night introductory program. Get a taste of camp life, meet new friends, and jump into the adventure of your summer! Extend-A-Stay: Campers who are enjoying themselves may choose to stay the rest of the week (Parents pay remaining balance at check-out on Friday). Our experience is that most youngsters are having so much fun and adjusting so well they choose to stay, so we suggest packing what they need for an entire session - if you end up picking up on Wednesday, then you have the added bonus of taking home clean clothes :).

July 29-August 10: LEAD for ages 15-18
Register by February 4 and use these 2017 rates -- $1096 / $995 / $895
LEAD is Leadership Evangelism And Discipleship! It is about building up young leaders who will be the change makers of tomorrow. This program is designed for high school students who are maturing in their Christian faith, and want to take it to the next level. This is about Wightman fun - you’ll participate in Outrageous, make new friends, and enjoy being a camper. It’s about developing a servant’s heart -- to learn to lead. It’s about living out your faith - in a way that others can see what you believe and whom you follow. It is about discipleship - choosing to make faith personal and the challenge of following Jesus. First Week includes intensive training sessions, bonding as a team, and good ole’ fashion camp fun. Second Week provides opportunities to try out what you have learned under the guiding hand of experienced Wightman role models.
This first step in Camp Wightman’s Teen Leadership Development Program is a selective program. We are looking for campers we believe will benefit most from the program, are of a maturity level that will allow them to think of others before themselves, and are already disciples of Jesus Christ. You will complete an application and references as a part of the registration process, plus fulfill an interview requirement. If you are not chosen for the program, any fees that have been paid on your behalf are fully refundable. We welcome you to apply if you think you have what it takes -- let’s find out together! DEADLINE for registration and application: March 15, 2018.
