Registration for Footsteps, Inc...
If you are interested in attending Footsteps, Inc... please go to their page to read the description and fill out the application. You NEED to do this before you can fill out registration.
Footsteps, Inc... is a Christian Camp for individuals, Kindergarten through the age of 21. Our belief is that children with disabilities deserve a place to grow, have fun, and start or continue their walk with God and we want their parents to be a part of this process. In order to make the camp as beneficial as possible, we ask that you complete this short application so that we can best fit the child to the camp that can accommodate their needs. Every camper MUST have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and is unable to successfully attend another camp independently in order to attend Footsteps Inc. While we cannot guarantee acceptance, we will make every effort to accommodate every child and disability. We will contact you as soon as we make those enrollment determinations. The information on this form will not be shared with anyone other than camp personnel and will be used solely for the purpose stated above.
2025 Location Change, Same Awesome Footsteps Camps
After nearly 40 years at Wilderness Camping and Retreat Center and countless hours of prayerful discernment, the Footsteps Camps Board made the difficult decision to have camps at a new facility beginning in 2025. We look back on those nearly four decades of hospitality, love, support and generosity from Wilderness with gratitude. We continually strive to remain good stewards of what God has given us to fulfill our mission “to provide, through camping ministry, an environment where all are welcome to grow in their relationship with God, others, and His creation”. Our goal is to use those blessings to reach as many as possible through a meaningful, affordable camping experience. As Footsteps Camps begin this new journey in our ministry, we extend a heartfelt “Thank You” to Wilderness Camping and Retreat Association for all they do. We pray that both organizations will be blessed in this new chapter and continue to change lives through camping.
Footsteps Camps Board was led to this decision in order to continue to share the Gospel through an affordable camping experience. We are committed to a decrease in fees while providing the same awesome Footsteps program. All camps will be under the same dedicated leadership and will include fun Footsteps traditions: puppets, Fizzy Tag, swimming, Bible Bowl, etc. in the great outdoors. We can’t wait to share them and more with you.
