Yurt Village - New Additions

“Camp Wawona’s Yurt Village was built in a prime location where the sun shines directly in front of Wawona Dome creating a breathtaking view and setting a wonderful environment to connect with our Creator.”
 – Elden Ramirez, Executive Director

Camp Wawona’s new Yurt Village provides accommodations that can sleep up to 88 guests. 

Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we seek to do God’s will.

3rd Annual Christmas Open House – better than ever!

Over 100 visitors joined Camp Wawona in Celebrating the Christmas Season with yummy treats, singing and camp activities including the rock wall. 

"It's our 3rd Annual Christmas Open House and we are overjoyed with the outcome. Can you believe we had no more than 20 guests our first Christmas Open House? It is such a blessing to see how many more people come to support us every year" 
- Kristina Wright, Marketing Director.   

Magical Mule

The Year Round Staff were busy throughout the day setting up for the 
evening and once the crowds arrived, the Staff were in their element.

Sign up sheets for the Magical Mule Ride (tour of Camp Wawona on our decorated Kawasaki Mule) and rock wall were filled to the brink.

The Year Round Staff facilitated the events until every guest had a 'taste of Camp Wawona'. 

Derek Wright, Associate Director, shares, “It was encouraging to see the community support and witness their interest in what Camp Wawona has to offer”.  

Attendees traveled from Oakhurst, Coarsegold and Fresno.

Getting Ready For Summer 2012

We are so excited to see how the Lord is going to bless the efforts of our Year Round and Summer Camp staff as we prepare for the upcoming summer season. This past summer, we were rejoicing together as we witnessed God’s blessing over our camp.

The best part of Summer Camp is the Friday night program. Sabbath, being the last day before campers return home, is a special time together. 

It is when Camp staff and campers unite with one purpose, to share the love of Jesus and His life changing power. After sharing a very personal and delicious Agape meal staff perform a play for the campers.

Throughout the week camper’s have seen many stories on stage leading them on a journey of understanding the Gospel. Friday is the culmination of this discovery.

Whether campers discover Jesus for the first time or feel a renewal of love for Him, many personal convictions are made during summer camp.

If a camper would like to take action and move forward with their personal commitment “decision cards” are made available to them.

Here are some of the decisions made last summer: 

“I accept Jesus as my personal savior”

107

“I would like to start Bible Studies”

36

“I would like to be baptized”
