General Information
Accommodations
Housing for each program may vary. Accommodations are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis after the completed registration form and deposit are received in our office. If the requested accommodation is full, we will confirm the next type of housing available (see accommodations section for details) and put you on standby for your first choice. You will receive a confirmation receipt once your registration has been processed.
What to Bring
Bible, bedding, pillow, towels, toiletries, camera, casual clothes, and shoes for informal services and recreation. Bedding, pillows, and towels are provided in the Lodge and Inn accommodations only, unless specific camp information indicates differently. Please note that an ATM is available on the campsite for your convenience.
What Not to Bring
Tobacco, alcoholic beverages, TVs, guns, or ammunition.
Men/Boys Note
Long pants and shirts with collars are suggested for evening and Sunday services. Fashions to the knee may be worn for activity times.
Ladies/Girls Note
Knee-length skirts or dresses are encouraged for evening and Sunday services (slits must not come above the knee). Any fashion worn must come at least to the top of the knee and cover the shoulders. Low necklines (front or back) are not acceptable camp attire. Loose-fitting pants, jeans, or knee-length fashions may be worn for activity times. The Wilds reserves the right to ask anyone to change his or her outfit if, in the estimation of the staff, it does not comply with these standards.
