groups and are responsible for setting and clearing tables. We work with camp
families to accommodate many diets and food allergies; please let us know of

certifications in lifeguarding, boating, archery and water
safety instruction. All staff are required to complete criminal
background checks, and fingerprinting before working with
campers. A director is onsite at all times to supervise staff,
facility, and programs. Applications for staff positions are

Spiritual Life at
Camp Wright
American Camp Association
The American Camp Association (ACA) seeks to enhance quality and develop
professional practices in the camping industry. Accreditation is an educational
process of self examination and peer review. Camp owners and operators agree to
uphold a stringent code of camp management practices. Camp Wright was first
accredited by the ACA in 1994. At least once every three years, a team of camping
professionals visits our program and review our practices with standards in the
industry.
We are proud to take part in this process and to have our standards meet or
exceed the ACA standards. Our most recent visit occurred in 2012 and we are
excited to report another successful review.
We begin and end
each day with song, stories, reflection,
prayer and time together to help us live
with and care for one another and the
world God created around us. Time each
day is designated for our Christian Education program, called Serendipity.
Through art, activities, games, stories
and music we grow in our ability to love
our neighbors as ourselves as Jesus
taught. We have a camp chaplain who
designs our program each summer. We
end each session with a worship service
in our outdoor chapel. Parents and
families are invited to join us at this service on Check Out Day.
