Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to register in advance?
While walk-ins are welcome, advance registration is strongly recommended to ensure availability. Calling in advance (1-800-965-7177) also allows us to expedite the process and answer other questions.
Are there any special discounts available?
Campers who register for the full week receive a discount over the daily rate. There is also a special discount for guests of the Word of Life Inn.
My child enjoys Day Camp and wants to stay overnight, can she switch mid-week?
Yes, depending on availability.
What if it rains?
Adirondack weather can change rather quickly, and though some activities may be cancelled for safety, we have plenty of inside, rainy day activities to enjoy.

Where to Go
WOL Ranch is located on Rte 9 in Pottersville, NY (exit 26 off of I-87). Our Day Camp check-in and check-out is staged from the Dining Hall Command Center on the Bible Institute property, located at 4200 Glendale Rd.
Once you enter the property, go to the right, and simply follow the Day Camp signs right to the Dining Hall Command Center.
We hope to see you this summer. Call us for more information. We’d love to answer any questions you have!
