WILD I

WILD I is an intensive introduction to the rigorous demands and blood-pumping adventures of immersion in the Maine wilderness. The team members learn to work together to accomplish exciting goals while learning basic wilderness skills. Every member of the program will learn to cook over an open fire, steer a canoe in white water, and handle a climbing rope. Other adventures will include rock climbing on real rock cliffs and a wilderness solo.

While all of these amazing experiences are valuable in and of themselves, they also provide members of the WILD program the opportunity to search out some deeper issues. The team works together to discuss and understand the deeper questions of the Christian worldview. They face daily challenges in a safe environment, building their faith and their confidence to apply their new growth in less friendly environments that may await them outside of camp.

WILD I provides its members with hard skills in numerous outdoor disciplines while helping them build their confidence as followers of Christ. This prepares them to be leaders at camp and beyond.
