Welcome!
Camper Families:
We are so excited that you have chosen Mountain Wisdom for your summer camp. We all look forward to this fun, connective, transformational experience.
Please read over the attached updated, detailed Covid-19 protocol agreement doc. closely.
Note: We ask all campers and staff to provide proof of a negative viral test, taken 2-4 days before arriving at camp.
Please go to our website: www.mountainwisdominc.org, on home page top bar, click on Programs, click either YMUA or YWEJ, next click on “What to Bring.”
As part of our Covid-19 protocol, campers will sleep one per tent except for siblings or campers that have quarantined together. Please bring a quality tent with a rain fly that covers most all of the body of the tent to keep dry. A tent big enough for camper and gear. If needed, please let us know and Mountain Wisdom will provide.
We have a beautiful spring fed mountain lake for watercraft and swimming. Life jackets will always be worn on or in the water. Please bring a life vest, if you have one. If not, we will provide.
The campers should not bring any food, money or electronics; everything will be taken care of.
