Wildwood Ranch

Welcome to Wildwood Ranch! Your child can experience horseback riding, canoeing, swimming, and many other exciting activities. They will also learn how to live in a community setting, meet new friends, learn new skills, spend their days immersed in nature, and experience life away from home in a safe environment. The summer camp experience builds self-esteem, teaches communication skills, and creates leadership opportunities. Lives are enhanced at camp. Careers are born at the camp. Lifelong friendships are kindled at camp. Register today to save your child’s spot!

Wildwood Ranch also offers an assortment of team-building opportunities on its grounds. Their outdoor enrichment activities include kayaking and canoeing on the private lake, playing a mixture of games with your peers, rock climbing, bouldering, archery, axe throwing, and much more. Your group can build its team itinerary based on its needs, whether it be increasing communication, working together, or building relationships.

House up to 60 people in the four dormitory-style cabins combined into one building (North, South, East, and West). Each wing sleeps 15 people in comfortable twin-size bunks in a large open space design. Two wings on each side are connected by an interior hallway, allowing for the separation of genders if needed. There are 2 large indoor bathrooms & shower facilities located on each side, consisting of 3 sinks, 2 shower stalls, and 2 bathroom stalls. Oak Ridge also houses a convenient basement meeting space for your group!
