Camp Wapo

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

“It is a great place for kids to disconnect from the pressures of social media and reconnect with their faith and build new healthy relationships.”

“I grow so much closer to God and I have so many friends that go. It is a true joy to be here.”

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

“Our children love this camp beyond measure and we can see the positive impact of camp after they have attended.”

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

“We have recommended this camp to several friends and their children have all enjoyed camp—it’s a wonderful experience for kids. My daughter talks about next year the day she gets home each summer. That’s a testimony to the fun she has each year!”

“Wapo is a community of faith and an awesome place to be.”

“If my daughter would have been able to stay at camp another week, she would have jumped back into her cabin without even saying goodbye. We love how filled with God’s love she is when she is engulfed at camp. Her ‘little light’ shines so brightly when she returns home.”

“Camp was a great experience for our daughter and helped build closer relationships with her friends at church because they went as a group.”

“They sang camp songs the entire way home! Thank you for taking such good care of their bodies, their souls, and their spirits. They may not realize until many years later what this will mean in their faith journey. When they leave camp with their hearts as full as they are today, I am so thankful for their time at camp.”

“My grandson always comes home knowing more about himself and his developing faith… and has a ton of fun!”

“Camp is so much fun! I get to meet new people, while praising and learning about the Lord. The counselors were awesome! I would definitely come back.”

“This was my kids’ first away-camp experience and they loved it and want to go back right away!”

“Our kids have so much fun and grow in their faith lives so much! They are better people because they have attended Wapo.”

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

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

“Camp to my daughter was ‘The best week of my life.’ The theme ‘Fearless’ was absolutely perfect with where she is at in her life. She will never forget this week and will also never forget counselors—they provided her with such sweet support.”

“There are so few places where our children are immersed in the love of Christ and exposed to positive Christian role models, Wapo provides this.”

“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.”

“My son has been coming to Wapo for eight years. He has brought friends and they all love camp and continued to return year after year. My daughter has been a Seeds camper and now she can’t wait to go back for a week. Our family is forever grateful for this camp and all the staff.”

“I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love God.”

“I love the atmosphere—how everyone is so passionate about God, everyone is super accepting and welcoming. Also the games and the activities are really fun.”

“My children love going to Wapo. My son came home and told us that he feels so much closer to God which was an amazing thing to hear him say!”

“It is an awesome experience for my daughter. She got to do something new, make awesome friends, and experience God’s love in new ways.”

“I love this camp. It is like a second home to me. It is always so happy here.”

“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.”

“This is a wonderful place that exposes kids to Christ’s love in a fun and friendly environment.”

“Our son has now had two great years at Wapo and his faith has taken a very obvious leap forward. He felt well cared for and I could tell he knew that he was in a safe place for the five days he was part of the Wapo fun!”

“I would come back because Wapo is my favorite thing I do all summer.”

“My daughter had a fabulous time. She didn’t want to leave and it was her first ever overnight camp. She has been telling us the Bible stories they learned and singing all the songs since she left camp. She can’t wait for next year.”

“It is very fun and I like the fellowship that forms from camper to camper, and even camper to counselor.”

“Overall, my experience was amazing. I could tell the counselors genuinely cared about me which is why I will definitely come back.”

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

“I have created so many memories here from my first game of Mighty Mighty to my last foot washing devo, I would do it all again.”

“My faith grew in God because of my wonderful counselors that helped me with my faith. Wapo is such a loving place. It is one of my favorite places on earth.”

“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.”
