OX Youth Program
The Ox Lake website is currently in developlment. The information below provides information about Ox Lake's programs. For more info please send email to info@campwapo.org. Thank you!
Ox Lake's international villages provide a world of experience and knowledge of Christianity for all. The villages open up the world to campers through a community that gives a sensible feel of what it means to be a world citizen and a deeper understanding of what it means to be the body of Christ around the world. There will be a number of international staff that help out with the program that includes worships, Bible studies, ethnic meals, games, arts and crafts, and different water activities. Campers will be staying in platform tents with bunk beds in them. It is a comfortable yet rustic environment that allows kids a chance to experience a world of Christianity in the outdoors.
Activities include:
Swimming, singing, canoeing, team challenges, Bible studies, field games, devotions, chapels, campfires, tubing down the apple river, horseback riding, arts and crafts, and much more!

Journey of the Cross
Journey of the Cross is a high adventure experience that nurtures a person physically, emotionally and, most of all, spiritually. As campers are on their own journey, they follow the lessons of Jesus on his Journey to the cross. Campers experience tent living while they bike along the Gandy Dancer Trail System, canoe the St. Croix River, hike and rock climb the bluffs of Interstate Park and horseback ride at Ox Lake. Journey brings campers closer to one another and to our Lord Jesus Christ through many personal and group challenges!
Campers need to bring their own bike and helmets!
