What to Bring
Are you wondering what you should pack? Check here for information we give all our campers; it'll be a good starting point for you! Feel free to call or email Mrs. Erin if you still have questions.
Scholarship
If you are currently enrolled or will be attending a Bible college in the fall you may receive tax deductible scholarship donations from churches and individuals toward your college bill. If you are interested in this opportunity and have not received a scholarship packet already, please call or email Mrs. Erin to request one. Using the pledge cards in the packet, gifts that come to Wolf Mountain designated for you will go directly toward your college bill. Folks should not write your name on the check but instead include the pledge card or a note to indicate the purpose of the gift. We believe that you know many people who would be thrilled to have a part in your summer ministry. We know you may feel a little awkward asking folks for money, but we hope that you will find the options on the pledge cards a friendly way of inviting people to participate on any level that the Lord lays on their heart. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call or email us! Also let us know if you need additional pledge cards or envelopes.
