What would delay the registration process?

The form must be completely filled out including the grade for the upcoming school year. If the agreement concerning the dress and conduct regulations has not been signed by the camper or the medical release has not been signed by the parent, the application will be returned. The $50 non-refundable deposit must accompany each registration. If the deposit is not received, the registration will not be processed until the deposit is received by our office.

What is the fastest way to register campers and sponsors?

To reduce delays in registering:

A. Register online or mail, fax, or e-mail (as an attachment) registration forms (available here) to the Taylors office. Please call to confirm that your forms were received.

B. Payment should be made to The Wilds using either:

  • One church check or
  • One Visa/Master Card/Discover card information.

All registrations are processed in the Taylors, South Carolina, office. If using UPS or other overnight mail service, use the following street address:

The Wilds Christian Association, Inc.
3201 Rutherford Road
Taylors, SC 29687-0009

Can sponsors bring their children to camp?

Limited space is available for sponsors to bring their children (ages 0-8*) during any week this summer. Because there will be no childcare provided, children will need to remain with a parent during the services and sponsor meetings. For availability and pricing, please contact a registration secretary.

*If your child is at least 9 years old by September 1st of that camp year, he or she will attend the junior or teen camp program.

Do sponsors need to register?

Yes, please fill out the same registration form as the campers. There is a box to check for adult sponsor. Because sponsor accommodations are limited, we ask that you only bring a minimum number of sponsors. Please register only one couple per 10-15 campers. You will be contacted if we are unable to house all your sponsors on the campsite.

Do I have a separate schedule from the campers?

Yes and no. There are scheduled sponsor meetings, but much of your schedule revolves around the campers. There are prayer meetings each day and recreational opportunities (golf, shopping, softball, rafting) for sponsors as well.

Will I get to spend any time with my youth group?

Yes. On Thursday morning you have approximately 1 hour to spend time in testimony and fellowship. This is also a great time to communicate any announcements to your teens regarding departure. The teens also have scheduled Freetime each day when it is very easy to be in contact with them.

Am I able to leave early?

The earliest you are able to leave is on Friday night, after the evening service. We do encourage you to stay until Saturday morning if possible.
