This year Skyview Ranch is again offering our groundbreaking camp away from camp. For those entering 11th or 12th grade, or for those who have recently graduated from High School, we are offering "Into the Wild", the wilderness camping experience of a lifetime.

Those wishing to attend this year's July 18th - 24th Wilderness trip will arrive at Skyview on Sunday evening. The next morning you will head by van up to Hartley Bay in Ontario, Canada where you will set out on a week long expedition by canoe down the French River. These wilderness trips will be led by Pastor Art Conrad of Northern Light Ministries, an experienced river guide and Christian mentor.

• The cost of wilderness camp is $449.
• Wilderness camp this year is July 18 - 24th. Plan on arriving on that Sunday evening (as opposed to the normal Monday morning camp start).
• Wilderness Camp is only being offered to High School Juniors, Seniors or those who have recently graduated.
• You will be canoeing for approximately four hours a day. There will be no portaging on this trip.There is no physical requirement for this trip, but even having a small amount of canoeing experience will help you.
• Because the laws regarding security and passage between Canada and the United States are always changing, we advise that you get a passport. This will ensure easy entry into and exit from Canada no matter the current laws being enforced. For identification processes, you should also bring with you a copy of your birth certificate. For more information on traveling out of the country, please visit the Government website on obtaining a passport. Note: Getting a passport can take some time, so apply for a passport as soon as you know you are going on the Wilderness trip.
• During this trip you will be sleeping in three-person tents.
• Messages can be relayed through Skyview to a port on Hartley Bay. Northern Light staff will check on messages once a day and relay them on to campers as they arrive throughout the week.
• There is limited to no cell phone service available in this part of Ontario, so all messages in and out will be relayed through Skyview Ranch.
• Both a Doctor and a Nurse will be going on the wilderness trips to ensure health and safety.
• What is provided: Tents, cooking supplies, food, camp gear, and tools.
• What you should bring: Personal raingear, pillows, sleeping bags, flashlights, bathroom supplies, clothing for warm, cold and wet weather.
• When packing for the trip, bring only what you need! You will be carrying everything you bring in backpacks. The more you bring, the heavier your pack.
• You will have fun and be challenged in more ways than you can imagine. Sign up quickly as spots fill up fast! Here's is the Medical Release Form you will need for this trip.
