Words from the Woods

Camp Wightman has been providing summer camping experiences for children, youth and adults for over 50 years. Located on beautiful Billings Lake, there are opportunities for people of all ages to come and enjoy the fun of camp, the beauty of the outdoors and the joy of Christian fellowship.


CT Summer Camping Brochure Camp Wightman is now accepting online registrations for the 2011 summer camping season!

No, you don't have to be Baptist.
Yes, we do have bible study.

We are often surprised by the number of people who didn't think they could come to Camp Wightman because they were not Baptist—That is not true.

Camp Wightman continues to host retreats for both non-religious (secular) groups and religious groups of all denominations.

Our summer campers are diverse and come from all backgrounds. We hold chapel, bible studies and vespers every day as we are a Baptist camp after all.

Women's Retreat - March 2011

Open the Door

When we open the door and go inside, God is there.
in the temple of our soul,
in the ashram of our heart,
in the cathedral of our being.
The Holy One is with us in all of life.

Come away for a weekend of experiencing the Holy One.

Through prayer, Bible Study, Music, Art and in laughter and fellowship around the table, we will open that sacred door and enter. Make time in your busy life to come away and be with us.

Women unite-it is time for your annual retreat to Camp Wightman, during the weekend of March 18-20, 2011. Rev. Lisa Gustafson will lead retreaters through the doorway with a weekend of Spiritual Growth and Renewal. The weekend will begin with dinner Friday evening and close following lunch on Sunday. The cost for the two nights and six meals is just $140.00.

Registration is limited!
