R

As a leader in Christian schools for over 35 years, I have not experienced anything that has helped us more to challenge our students in the final days of their Christian education than The Wilds. Students are encouraged to continue in the things they learned and to resolve to walk in the ways of the Lord

I cannot think of a better way for our students to finish their senior year. At this pivotal time as students are ending one chapter of their lives and beginning another, they spend a week not only making lasting memories, but more importantly, hearing spiritual instruction from God’s Word.

I

I came to camp super discouraged, and there was nothing I was looking forward to. I can’t even begin to explain how much I’ve been encouraged spiritually. My favorite part by far were the sermons. I’ve grown so much. I’m so thankful to have gotten to the point where I can say I’ve enjoyed the spiritual over anything else!

I established better relationships with people I already knew. Went tubing with them. Got to be a part of the guys’ cabin craziness. Learned lessons. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s no one time I will forget.

The Wilds ministry has impacted our church by growing our teens and juniors spiritually and helping us develop the next generation of servants to accomplish God’s plan for their lives. Grounded in the Word of God with the staff demonstrating the love of God…what other reasons do you need to go to The Wilds?!

Brad

Pastor, Greeneville, TN

J

The Wilds has become an invaluable part of my youth ministry. The way I’ve seen God work in the lives of teens is nothing short of a miracle! The staff are always eager to serve and be a blessing!

Trip highlights

Adrenalizing games, zip-lining over a waterfall, and whitewater rafting on the Nantahala River all have one thing in common: our Senior Class Trips. At The Wilds, you get the best of both worlds—excitement and relaxation, where the thrill of the mountains meets the leisurely pace of an afternoon in Cool Beans, a cup of coffee in hand. Why not?
