JBC counselors are with their campers at all times not only to supervise but also to enhance your child’s camp experience by encouraging participation in many activities.

No, but it sure is nice. Our General Store has a great selection of The Wilds “gear” (t-shirts, hats, jackets, etc.). The store also has CDs, Bible Study books, and many other items that will help your child in their spiritual growth. Our Cool Beans Coffee Shoppe and The Snack are great places to get a refreshing drink or a middle of the day snack.

Upon arrival, each camper will turn in any regularly prescribed medication to our Health Service Building. Each day, the camper will have the medicine readied by one of our nurses and be followed up on to make sure they have taken the dosage for that day.

Each camper will need to bring their own pillow and bedding. Bring bedding that fits a twin mattress.

Ladies/Girls Dress: Clothing should come at least to the top of the knee. Please no low necklines, narrow sleeveless/tank tops, or skin-tight fashions. For water activities, please wear dark shirts and shorts over swimwear. For girls-only swim times, a one-piece swimsuit or a tankini that overlaps at the waist is acceptable.

Men/Boys Dress: Clothing should come at least to the top of the knee. For water activities, please wear dark shirts and shorts/swim trunks. For boys-only swim times, swim trunks are acceptable.

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.

We have several registered nurses on campsite and at least one nurse on call 24 hours a day. We are also equipped with a Health Service Building that is capable of taking care of most minor injuries and illnesses. We have a great working relationship with the hospital in town should there be the need for anything our Health Service people are not set up to handle. Be assured that we will contact you for any hospital visits. The best thing is for you just to ask your child to not get sick or hurt while they are here at camp!

Summer camp ends Saturday morning after breakfast at 9:00 a.m.

You can imagine what it would be like if we allowed 800 teenagers to keep their cell phones with them during the week of camp. You know how hard it is to get your son or daughter off the phone for even a few minutes. In order to keep the campers from being distracted and to minimize the chance for stolen phones, we ask that all cell phones be turned in to their sponsors at the beginning of the week.

If you need to get in touch with your child, you can call The Wilds office and request to speak with him or her. The office staff will coordinate a time that works with your schedule and the camp schedule for him/her to call home. Also, in the event of a medical emergency, your child would be allowed to call home.
