Wilderness Camp

You and your small group will camp in tents, assist with all aspects of camp life, and have a rustic, outdoor experience! During the day you'll choose between rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and caving. Evenings will be spent playing games and gathering around the campfire. You'll have small group discussions talking about college life and what it means to be a Bishop. You'll sleep well after good meals, making great friends, star gazing, and challenging your body and mind!

WHERE?

On the morining of Friday, August 15th, all Wilderness Camp new students will travel together via vans to Coopers Rock State Forest, West Virginia.
