The Wilds Adult Camps

Youth Workers’ Conference

The Wilds has always been about helping young people. One of the best ways we can do that is by encouraging the caring adults who work with them day in, day out in their local churches. We’ll spend time together around God’s Word, eat lots of good food, and engage with other youth workers who know and understand the unique challenges of youth ministry today.

Be Still: Training Young Hearts to Listen to God

Many of the young people we serve are growing up in a world of constant distraction. Their minds and hearts rarely have space to slow down so they can focus and listen to the voice of God through His Word. We feel deeply the burden these young people carry, longing for them not just to hear Scripture, but truly attend to it, treasure it,
and meditate on it, so that their lives will be changed to the glory of God. Come hear biblical insights and learn practical tools to gently guide youth from elementary age through high school toward greater attentiveness to the Word of God. We’ll encourage and equip you to help students develop lasting habits of focus, stillness, and delight in Scripture.
