As the warm days of summer give way to the crisp air of fall,…

“Being here at Wapo has given me some of the best times of my life and I am beyond thankful for everyone here who helped that happen.”

Jaeda L.

“I love everything! The songs, the activities, the devotionals, the kind people that work here, and growing in faith”

Annabel P.

“I have never felt so loved and safe in my whole life.”

Mackenzie H.

“My daughter is an introvert and this was her first time away and I honestly didn’t know how she would do or whether or not she would come home more engaged in learning and growing in the Bible and her relationship with Jesus… and she was fabulous, even teaching me the words and hand motions to the songs she most enjoyed, which brought back my own memories of the songs and moved me to tears of joy.”

Camp Wapo Parent

“I’ve gone to other camps and retreats, but I connect the most with God here and I think that’s really special.”

“I love the lake and how integrated into nature we are here. This place turns into a second home for me.”

Camp Wapo Camper

“My son had a great time and made several new friends. He not only grew in his faith, but also in his confidence in faith. At the end of the closing chapel, his cabin gathered in a circle to pray. I heard my son pray out loud for the first time and it moved me to tears.”

Camp Wapo Parent

“I attended as a youth myself, and now my child loves Wapo and comes back feeling renewed in her faith!”

Camp Wapo Parent

“I’ve loved it for the seven years I’ve come here and I still do.”
