Wilderness Camp is a unique, seven day, six night adventure to create a Christian community while living in the out-of-doors. Campers come from all over Oklahoma. It’s OK to come to this camp by yourself. It is a challenging adventure to develop personal skills, specifically how to listen to others, how to express your own needs and ideas, the need to care for the group, and the struggle to make group decisions. Each group of eight to ten youth and two adult campers plan their own meals, hikes and activities in the colorful, historic Wilderness Canyons. There are no classrooms, but youth will teach themselves many things, among them, how to build a campfire and cook out-of-doors.
Register before May 8, 2009.
