Camp Wojtyla’s Camper Lottery
WE INVITE YOUR CHILD TO COME EXPERIENCE LIFE TO THE FULL AT CAMP WOJTYLA!
A little lottery history
From the early years of Camp Wojtyla, camper demand has exceeded our allotted program capacity each summer. In an effort to keep the enrollment process as fair as possible, a computerized lottery system is now used to facilitate camper selection. Lottery participants are included in a random drawing for camper spots each November. Camper spots are then assigned to individuals based on the results of that drawing and session availability. Fortunately over the years, our program has almost doubled in size, offering more exciting opportunities than ever for children to find adventure and spiritual growth at Camp Wojtyla!

LOTTERY GUIDELINES
Only ONE ENTRY per child will be accepted; multiple entries will not increase your chances of securing a camper spot.
Complete your entry at any time during the lottery window listed above. Our lottery drawings are random, so provided it’s within the lottery window, the date and time your entry is submitted will not matter.
Submit a separate lottery entry for each child who would like to attend. Entries may not be combined for more than one child.
Incomplete entries will not be accepted. Entries must include session selections, the requested parent and child information, and must be submitted for review to be considered.
Please follow Camp Wojtyla’s age and grade level requirements when completing your entry. Our programs are designed for children who will be rising 6th graders through graduated seniors in fall of 2025. By October 1, 2025, children attending our Middle School program must be at least 11 years old, and High School participants must be at least 14. Entrants will be directed to the appropriate high school or middle school lottery category based on birthdate entered. If your child falls outside of the average age range for his or her grade level, you may not be directed to your preferred category. If this happens, email us at registrar@camp-w.com, and we will assist you with initiating your lottery entry.
Each entry should take approximately 5 minutes per child to complete. Simply click on the button below to begin.
Our team is looking forward to Summer 2025 with great anticipation, and we thank you for your interest in joining us for a faith and fun-filled adventure! God bless, and good luck in the Lottery!!

How will we be notified of our Lottery results?
All lottery results are emailed out in mid-November. Be sure to add registrar@camp-w.com to your contacts so you won’t miss our very important messages! Both inbox and spam folders should be monitored for this correspondence, especially if our email address has not been added to your contact list. If you have not heard from us by November 20th, please use the orange “Registration Portal” link in the upper right corner of this page to view your child's registration status. Use your email address and password to login. Password help is available just below the login fields. If your portal reflects that your child has been added to a session, you may request a copy of your registration instructions by emailing registrar@camp-w.com. IF by November 20th, your registration portal does not reflect your child’s assignment to either a summer program OR the waitlist, please email us for your lottery results.
What happens if My child doesn’t win the lottery?
With this lottery system, there is no guarantee that your child will be selected for registration. But don't be discouraged if you don’t “win the lottery”! Hopeful campers-to-be, who do not make it into camp through the lottery drawing, will be put on at the top of our summer waitlist in lottery number order. So there's still a chance that you can make it to camp if another camper’s plans change. And yes… that inevitably happens multiple times each summer! We like to believe that God has a hand in selecting our campers for just the right event, at just the right time, to best hear His call!
What if my child was waitlisted the previous summer?
Individuals who were waitlisted after last season’s lottery, and not offered a camper spot, are encouraged to enter the lottery for the upcoming year. Our lottery questions will ask about your child’s previous waitlist experience. After confirming your response against our records, your previously waitlisted child will be entered into a special lottery drawing!
