About Wildfire

Middle school students in grades 5-7, during the 2022-2023 school year, from all of our locations and community gatherings will be excited to travel to North Bay Camp in Maryland for the best experience of their summer! Wildfire will allow your student to spend time connecting with their cabin Group and God through worship, teaching, games, adventure elements and much more.

  • We are bringing our own security and medical teams that will be present throughout the entire weekend at NorthBay. We also have access to rapid COVID-19 tests, urgent cares, and hospitals within a short distance.
  • Please note that we cannot hold on to or dispense the prescriptions that your student brings. We ask that they keep the medication with them and take it as prescribed. Please prepare them ahead of time to take their own medications. A trained medical volunteer will be present at all times during Wildfire to assist with general medical needs and emergencies.
Your student will be assigned to a cabin with a leader(s) who is background checked and cleared to serve in LCBC Student Ministry.
Each day students will participate in group games competing in team color battles. A few weeks prior to camp, you will receive an email with your student’s assigned color. During free time, students will have access to all of North Bay’s adventure elements including the giant swing, high ropes course, zipline and the pool. We also provide board games, arts & crafts supplies and daily special activities, like bingo, during free time.
  • 4 sets of clothes (include an outfit that can get messy/ruined!)
  • Modest swimwear- we ask everyone to choose swimwear that is comfortable while maintaining modesty during active play (waterslides, zip line etc). Many two-piece suits meet the standard of modesty, but boys speedos and girls bikinis can miss the mark for the highly active nature of our event.
  • Sleeping bag and pillow
  • Toiletries (make sure to include sunscreen!)
  • Towel
  • Bible and pen
  • Spending money for the camp store & snack shop
  • Refillable Water Bottle!
We discourage students from bringing their cell phones to Wildfire as it is a great time to “unplug.” However, the final decision lies with the parent/guardian. If you believe that your student is capable of being responsible with their device, they may use it at appropriate times (for example: taking pictures, free time, Bible reading). We believe that it is important for students to learn how to appropriately engage with their devices, and our leaders aim to help guide our students to learn how to do so; however, if cell phones are used inappropriately, they may be confiscated. All confiscated devices will be returned at the end of camp.

You can follow along with us all throughout the camp via social media.

Lodging for 3 nights and 4 days, 8 meals, adventure activities, and more!
