Wanake strives to provide a place apart from the daily distractions of the world for people to be able to seek and connect to each other in new ways. Life changes, new friends, time with God, and a lot of fun are all things that can be uncovered with time spent at camp. Wanake is committed to providing opportunities for spiritual birth, growth, or renewal in both their summer camp and retreat ministry.
Wanake offers campers in Grades 1-12 a “build-your-own-adventure” camp experience. Two counselors serve as adult Christian role models for small groups of 10-12 campers playing, praying, swimming, studying the Bible, building friendships, worshipping, laughing, and living together in a Christ-centered environment in the outdoors.
