General Information

In the mid-1980s, sensitivity to changing times and needs prompted the leaders of Philadelphia Biblical University to create a special one-year Bible program that would meet the needs of some contemporary students. Their concern was for students who were looking for something different from the traditional HikingBible or Christian college program and who wanted a significant experience in their college education. The vision was to establish an educational alternative which would allow students to get away from their normal environment, receive a Bible-centered education and focus intensively on character development and life direction.

In 1987 the Christian businessmen who own and operate Lake Owen Camp in the northwoods of Wisconsin offered the use of their facility to PBU and the Wisconsin Wilderness Campus was launched.

Since it was established, WWC has earned the reputation of being a high-quality, exciting, creative educational alternative in which students receive a high degree of individual attention. WWC alumni have enthusiastically expressed their satisfaction with the program and appreciation for what it has meant in their personal growth and preparation for their future. Almost 80% of WWC students have continued in their college education. The others have entered the workplace or have chosen a vocational Christian ministry.

Autumn SceneryLocation

WWC is located on beautiful Lake Owen outside the town of Cable in the northwoods of Wisconsin. WWC is in the heart of some of the finest recreational wilderness in the country. It is surrounded by the Chequamegon National Forest--almost one million acres of beautiful woodland with 464 miles of streams and 411 lakes. Miles of hiking and biking trails, downhill skiing and snowboarding, first-class cross-country ski trails, groomed snowmobile routes, waterskiing, boating, canoeing and more provide year-round enjoyment.

The small town of Cable serves a large surrounding area that includes some first-class resorts. Cable is also home of the world-famous American Birkebeiner cross-country ski race, drawing 7,500 skiers and 20,000 spectators from around the world. The largest off-road bike race, the Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival, brings 2,500 cyclists to the area every fall.

Facilities

WWC uses the facilities of Lake Owen Camp, a summer sports camp. The 16-acre camp is located on a peninsula on Lake Owen and has 1,600 feet of lake frontage. The center of the campus is Lake Owen Lodge which houses the cafeteria, library, computer lab and offices.

DormsThere is a two-story building across from the Lodge, where all subjects are taught. The main floor is a student lounge area, containing a snack bar, games, a pool table, piano and computers. The second floor houses the classroom.

The gymnasiums on campus are primarily gymnastics and in-line skate/skateboarding facilities used for the summer sports camp. However, the camp does allow WWC to use the gymnasiums under specific guidelines. The gymnasiums are used by WWC for volleyball, weight-lifting, in-line skating/skateboarding, and general exercise.

Student housing at WWC is both scenic and spacious. The dormitories, built in 1998, are cedar-sided A-frame structures that are quaintly nestled on the banks of Lake Owen. Both the men's and women's dorms have three floors with two dorm rooms and one lounge on each level. There are three or four students in each dorm room (rooms are larger than a typical college room).

Other buildings on campus are for staff housing and visiting professors. The lake itself because of location, is used by students in both fall and winter, and becomes an integral part of campus life throughout the year.
