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.

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).

What’s a “T'weeker?” A camper who spends two weeks (that's right, TWO weeks!) plus an Outrageous T'weekend at Wightman! T'weekers enjoy three times the Outrageous fun packed into an Outrageous two week program! This is summer camp as it is meant to be. Some say the T'weekend is the most amazing part...others just love being here longer and even say that two weeks is not long enough. So, what’s Outrageous? Well, the dictionary says a: exceeding the limits of what is usual; or b: fantastic. AND it's Camp Wightman's fastest growing youth program! In other words, HUGE fun! Each week you will choose favorite activities and write your own schedule plus experience special events like Ice Cream for Breakfast, a birthday party for Harry Potter, a Carnival Palooza with inflatables like the bungee run and slip & slide, Night of the Ninja, or play a round of Jumanji Survivor (you've never experienced anything like this!). How about a late night or two with sleep-ins? Oh, and don't forget the T'weekend complete with incredible Outrageous activities (Extreme Rock, Paper, Scissors anyone?!)! See you there! Please do not attempt this at home, we’re professionals. We’re serious!
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.
