LAKE WAPOGASSET CAMPS
Amery, Wisconsin

From campfires to conversations, laughter to new experiences, our camps are places of grace forming people of faith. The three sites of Lake Wapogasset Lutheran Bible Camp invite you to experience how high, how wide, how long, and how deep you can fall into the love of Christ and the joy of life together.

SEEDS AT WAPO

This action-packed session for our youngest campers is the perfect introduction to camp. Knowing that this may be some campers’ first camp experience, or even their first time away from home, our counselors will spend every moment with these campers. They will provide a safe and caring environment filled with music, Bible study, campfires, crafts, water activities and tons of games. As the seeds for a love of camp- and of faith- are planted, campers will see and experience God in new ways.
