Summer camps and trips + West Africa service trip
Hello children, youth, and families!
The summer camps and trips schedule is ready for you to view—there's even a West Africa service and ambassador trip in the works.
>>> Read more and register.
There's room for flexibility. After looking at the many options on the Camp Wapo website, you may want to attend other individual programs—please let me know if you find another date or camp that you are very interested in.
Camps and trips do fill up quickly. All of the Wapo and WCB slots are held for us until February 15, and after that date it becomes first come first served.
Reach out to me if you sign up for a program. I can also help answer any questions you might have.
May God's Spirit of peace be with you as you make your plans.
