CAMPUS LIFE
Limiting enrollment at WWC to a small cohort of students allows us to focus on each person as an integral part of the whole. The pursuit of biblical wisdom within small group interactions is at the center of campus life. The entirety of the WWC experience is one of transformation as it takes place between the individual and Christ--whether that be on miles of hiking and biking trails, canoeing, in the classroom, in a professor’s office, or in the dorm rooms with other students.
The campus utilizes Lake Owen Summer Camp, a 16 acre campus with 1,600 feet of Lake Frontage. The campus is equipped with the following facilities for student use and recreation:
- Lake Owen Lodge, housing the student dining area
- Computer Lab and full Library facilities
- Classroom Building and snack shop
- Student Lounge Areas
- Volleyball, weightlifting and general exercise areas
- Student Housing on the banks of Lake Owen
Recreation
Recreation at WWC is one of the most dynamic aspects of this one year university experience. Part of an integrated approach, the recreation program has been designed to develop in students an understanding of the implications of biblical wisdom in all areas of academic and personal life.

The WWC Community
Each experience at WWC impacts the development of biblical wisdom which in turn impacts how you will make decisions through life. These experiences are intentionally planned and purposed—student life, the work program, community involvement, and recreation are a part of an integrated classroom experience.
Students have access to many visiting professors and professionals throughout their time at WWC. One time per week, the entire group gathers for an organized time of spiritual development, prayer, and discussion.
Local Churches
Students are also encouraged to join and become involved with a local fellowship in the surrounding area. Four churches are located within a 25 mile radius of WWC, each hosting various community events and service opportunities such as youth ministries, teaching, ministering to the elderly, music, evangelism, and community outreach.
Student Work Program
Each student at WWC is required to work 6-8 hours per week as a part of the WWC work program. The work program exists to help foster in students a sense of responsibility, team work, and the development of Christian character and maturity. Work program opportunities include, among others, the following areas:
- Food service
- Dishwashing
- General cleaning and maintenance
- Snow removal
- Child care
- Chopping firewood
- Office task
Student Health Services
Students have access to three residential staff members at all times in the event of a medical condition or emergency. Emergency situations and general health care needs are taken care of in Hayward, 20 miles south of campus or Ashland, 50 miles north of campus.
