Summer Teen Camp

Weigh anchors and set sail

for a great maritime escapade with sailors from all over the country! You’ll never forget your voyage with the crew members of the Emerald Coast Galleons, the Scarlet Cove Clippers, or the Sapphire Bay Schooners in this thrilling adventure at The Wilds. Will we run aground in the mountains of North Carolina? Not a chance! We will have unique activities, the most delicious galley grub on land or sea, rollicking Funtime skits and Freetime play, enthusiastic speakers, and God-honoring music as we navigate the rolling waters at The Wilds. Which team will win the battle for the high seas? Find out at the Final Victory Ceremony. Don’t miss the boat!
