“STAR” (by Brian Walter, Annie Herring & Daniel Perrin) is a smart, Scripture-faithful musical that reimagines the Magi’s journey with wit, nuance, and a few delightful twists – accuracy where Scripture speaks; imagination where it’s silent.

2026 Summer Staff Commissioning Service

I know its hard to believe but summer is right around the corner, and that means a new group of summer staff is preparing to step into one of the most meaningful roles they’ll ever have.

We invite you to join us for our Summer Staff Commissioning Service – a time to gather as a community, surround our staff with prayer, and send them into the summer grounded in encouragement and support. These young leaders will spend their days creating spaces where campers feel known, connected, and deeply loved. They don’t do that on their own – they do it with a whole community behind them.

That’s where you come in. Your prayers and support matter.

All the details can be found here. Help us spread the word…everyone is welcome!

“Then he breathed on them and said, receive the Holy Spirit.” – John 20:22
Journey is a weekend designed to help you discover that God is already walking beside you, whether you’re stepping into middle school, finding your place in high school, or wondering what comes next this is a weekend for you.
Bring your youth group to Camp Wapo for a weekend filled with laughter, worship, adventure, and meaningful conversations. Together we’ll explore what it means to grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and discover how God is shaping each of us to love, lead, and serve in our everyday lives.
Campers will experience classic camp games, creative activities, engaging worship, inspiring speakers, and small group conversations designed for their age and stage of life. Middle school and high school students will share the excitement of camp while also having opportunities to connect in similar age groups where they can ask questions, build confidence, and grow alongside peers.
Journey is fully programmed by Camp Wapo staff, allowing youth leaders to spend the weekend investing in relationships instead of planning schedules. Church groups simply bring their students and adult cabin leaders. We’ll take care of the rest.
By the end of the weekend, campers will head home with new friendships, renewed confidence, practical tools for living out their faith, and a deeper understanding that wherever life leads, they never journey alone.
Check-in is on Friday from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
Check-out is on Sunday at 11:00 am.
*The Journey Youth Retreat is for Church/Youth groups.
