Do you represent a non-profit or community organization that serves youth?
Please join us in person or over Zoom for a Wildwood partnership info session this February!
We’re planning a great summer filled with campfires, new friends, kayaking, archery, swimming, and so much more at Camp Wildwood.
And we want to include the kids you serve!
If you’re a new partner, learn all about Wildwood summer camps, benefits, ask questions, and learn how you can help provide a full week of summer camp at little cost to families ($40/child).
If you’re a returning partner, learn what’s new this summer, get a peek into registration, and schedule a family summer camp orientation night with our staff.

Please join us this March and get Wildwood ready for summer camp and school groups! We have a variety of available projects for all members of the family. Please join us for a morning shift (9-12) or an afternoon shift (12-3).
The projects will be finalized closer to the event date, but last year’s projects included:
firewood collection
gravel work
testing tents to check for holes, missing pieces, etc.
setting up the gaga ball pit
preparations for a Wildwood garage sale
art projects (for kids 5-15)
trail cleanup
cabin cleanup
garden prep
Campers and children age 5-14 are welcome, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Teens aged 15-17 must be accompanied by a responsible adult (up to 6 teens/adult).
Lunch and all necessary tools will be provided. (If you have an extra wheelbarrow, we’d be thankful to borrow it for the day!) Please wear weather-appropriate clothing (that you don’t mind getting dirty) and closed-toe shoes.

A camp session at Wildwood lasts just 5 days, but we often talk about Camp Wildwood being a 10-year program.
Why? We focus on having campers come back each year because the research shows increased benefits for campers each year they return, culminating in long-term benefits that will impact campers into adulthood.
This year, Wildwood has been lucky to welcome two excellent Americorps VISTA members, Shannon and Katie! Shannon and Katie will be with Wildwood for the next 12 months, increasing Wildwood’s fundraising, volunteering, programming, and camp recruitment and retention capacity.
More specifically, Shannon will be building new camp programs, leveling up our staff training, and planning new ways to recruit and retain camp staff and campers. Katie will be re-building Wildwood’s volunteer program, supporting individual fundraising through community events, and crafting new PR strategy for Wildwood.
They are both making a huge difference at Wildwood already, and we are so excited to have them on board! Welcome to the team!
