FAQ

1. What is housing like?

We house girls with girls and boys with boys. Your child will be with the other students from their middle school with their WyldLife leaders that have been getting to know them all year! The rooms have bunk beds to sleep 12-16 in a room with a bathroom attached. Girls' rooms are in girl cabins and boys' rooms are in boy cabins. We also will have an adult in every room with the students and high school leaders. All leaders and staff on the weekend have been trained, interviewed and received a background check. 

2. What is the transportation?

We will have 1 charter bus take us down to Southwind and back. We will stop in Valdosta for lunch before heading to camp on the 11th. We will share a bus with the North Fulton WyldLife group. Sharing a bus with them allows us to keep costs lower for everyone! 

3. How can I get in touch with my child?

We will collect your child's electronics (phones, Apple watches, ipads, laptops, gaming devices, etc) shortly before we arrive at camp. These will be labeled with your child's name and kept in the office while we are at camp. They will be returned to them on the bus ride home. This helps students be present without distraction while at camp for the weekend. It often ends up being one of the best parts of the trip for most students! Camp has phones they can use during free time to contact you if they choose to do so, and you can also call Southwind or one of our staff members if you need to reach your child urgently. 

We will create a "Remind" group for parents, where we will send messages about arrival, a few pictures through the weekend, and departure. Info for how to join that will go out in an email closer to camp time. While your child is at camp, you can always reach the office to pass along messages to your child, and there are phones available for your children to make outgoing calls as well. The leaders on the trip will have their phones and be available should you need to get in touch with your child!
