WANAKE ADVENTURES ADVANCED

GRADES: 9-12 (IN FALL 2026)

ABOUT

Wanake Adventures Advanced is perfect for campers who love the “build-your-own-adventure” style but are ready for more of a challenge! Spend the week choosing from the on-site Sr. High Advanced Adventure list, which includes Building a Raft, Canoeing, Bouldering, Rock Climbing, Swamp-a-Canoe, and an Outer-Woods Hike, as well as a choice of a Waterfall Hike, a day at nearby Baylor Beach, or a trip down the Tuscarawas River.

Build teamwork and critical thinking skills at the Wanake Challenge Course, and enjoy familiar favorites like GaGa Ball, 9-Square, Bible Study, cookouts, worship, and swimming.

Campers live in Cabins or a Retreat Center, with an overnight in one of Wanake’s Rustic Locations.

If your camper requires a specific housing option, please contact Wanake to arrange accommodations.

My child loved her counselor and the friends she made the most. She loved that her counselor prayed with them daily and sang to them.

Camper Parent

I enjoyed Morning Watch because we got a chance to listen to God speak to us.

Camper

When I became a counselor I found that working as a team of two taught me how to be in positive, healthy relationships with others.

Summer Staff Member

I took another look at Bible stories I’ve read before, looking at them from a different point of view.

Camper

At home, I don’t really connect with God, but now I am going to try my hardest to do so. Wanake makes me a better person. I love it.

Camper

I am constantly in awe of the real-world skills working at camp taught me, and so many of them apply to me daily!

Summer Staff Member

My daughter loved everything! I think the frog pond, making friends, and singing songs ranked pretty high because she kept returning to those experiences.

Camper Parent

I did feel challenged this week at Wanake to be my best and become a better person because I tried lots of things I probably wouldn’t have.

Camper

Summer Staff Member

Real friends aren’t measured in years, they’re measured in connection and happiness - making you feel like your best self.

Camper

The best part of camp was my child being able to have pure fun, encouraging kindness, and making new friends. She also said the food was delicious!

healthy relationships with others.

Summer Staff Member

I feel that living without electricity, running water, and mattresses made me realize how grateful I am for the things I have, but also know I can live without them.

Camper

I am coming back to camp next summer because these weeks here have been some of the best in my entire life!
