Summer Camp
At Wayzata Community Church Summer Camp, life isn’t paused—it’s lived fully.
And and that’s exactly what camp is all about. It’s a place where kids experience life the way it’s meant to be lived—together, with purpose, and with hearts open to God’s love.

What Makes WCC Camp Unique
Faith
We believe that following Jesus is transformative. Camp is filled with opportunities for kids to be fully themselves, to know that God loves them exactly as they are, and to explore what it means to follow Jesus in community—day by day.
Fun
We believe that joy is holy. At WCC Summer Camp, fun isn’t just an extra—it’s an essential part of how kids build confidence, form friendships, and feel safe being their full, silly, creative selves. When laughter fills our spaces, barriers come down and kids become more open to growth, connection, and the movement of God in their lives.
Values
We believe that theology matters. At WCC, we proclaim that God is loving and inclusive above all else. We believe that God makes no mistakes—every person is a unique and unrepeatable miracle worth celebrating. Our goal is to include every child in our camp ministry, encouraging them to grow in faith and life as the person God created them to be.
Camp That Lasts All Year
The relationships, growth, and faith that begin at camp don’t end when the week is over—they continue to flourish in our year-round ministries. When your child returns to WCC on Sundays or Wednesdays, they reconnect with leaders and friends, deepening the seeds of faith that were planted at camp.

Registration Process
Registration is now open! Register online through Campsite.
If you do not already have a Campsite account, you will begin by creating an account for your family and adding all 2026 campers.
What you’ll need:
• Current immunization records for each camper
• Insurance card
• A non-refundable $100 deposit per camper
Cabinmates
We recognize that a sense of security begins at the time of registration when kids can request other students to be their cabinmates. We offer a chance to request three cabinmates, and will go to great effort to accommodate at least one of these requests. However circumstances do arise that make it impossible to grant every request. Please be aware that groups are often divided between different cabins. All requests must be made 14 days prior to camp.
After registration is completed
1. Following the completion of enrollment in Campsite, including the $100 deposit, you will receive an email confirming that your child is registered.
2. Changes made after your child has been registered for a camp session will be based on space and availability and require approval by the camp registrars. You may not change the registration of any child but your own. To request a change, send an email to Kathy Handy at khandy@wayzatacommunitychurch.org.
High School Work Crew
We hope that incoming 10th-12th grade students will consider serving through our Work Crew Ministry. Work Crew is an opportunity for students to experience an extended service-based faith experience. Each session consists of a small group of students who are devoted to serving God, the camp, and the campers. This year, not all work crew experiences will be equal length. This is to accommodate our students’ busy schedules and some shifts in our camp calendar. If our sessions fill, preference will be given to seniority, and then order of applications. To apply for Work Crew fill out this application form. You will receive a response by March 1, 2026. Questions? Contact Mike Solberg at msolberg@wayzatacommunitychurch.org or (651) 377-2285.

Where is WCC Summer Camp Located?
hi Rho Center is situated on a beautiful peninsula on the shores of Lake Sylvia. Located only an hour away from WCC, its location offers greater ease and access for all campers on one of Minnesota’s most pristine lakes. For more than four decades, Chi Rho Center has been an outreach of St. John’s Lutheran Church of Minneapolis. We are excited to be partnering once again with St. John’s, as we share a passion for camp and retreat ministries.
