Wilds Camp Trip

It's time to git your dander up for a little Friendly Feudin'! We dun divided up the camp to hitch everyone up to one of three mighty proud (and sometimes mighty ornery) families: the Calhouns, the Hatfields, and the McCoys. Instead of plinken' at each other with their trusty shootin' irons, they'll all be fix'n to engage in a might bit more civilized pastimes--like competitions that are more excit'n' than watchin' cit'-slickers chase hogs, funtimes that are guaranteed to have y'all in stitches and free time adventures you ain't never gonna forgit! They'll even shake hands and declare a truce in the squabbl'n' so y'all can set yourself down to hear some good ol' fashion' preach'n', have cabin discussions, and enjoy excit'n' music. Y'all don't want to miss out! Let the feudin' begin!

THE WILDS is a 1,000 acre campsite nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Rosman, North Carolina.

THE WILDS offers each of its campers beautiful surroundings, staff and counselors that care, and practical spiritual direction.

Every day is packed with "funtastic" things to do, such as hiking, swimming, water trolley, land trolley, basketball, crafts, rifle range, tubing, big ball volleyball, water slides, table tennis, frisbee golf, lake activities, climbing wall, Human Foosball and the Giant Swing. In addition to all the fun activities, there is a focus on Biblical guidance and direction. A daily personal devotional time called God & I Time gives practical instruction in godly habits. Special services and chapels help campers personalize God's Word in their everyday lives.

Camp is here already. . . and our summer has begun! I am very excited about the great time that we will have, but most importantly, I am excited about getting your teens away from the distractions of this world and sitting them under some powerful preaching. I look forward to what God is going to do spiritually in our teens. Follow along with the week on this website! I will try to post something each day.
