The Wilds of New England is a division of The Wilds Christian Association, Inc., which is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Contributions to The Wilds of New England are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
A Sustainer is an individual, church, or organization that commits to regularly pray for and financially support The Wilds of New England. The faithful, regular support of Sustainers is an invaluable component of our ministry. Since a Sustainer’s financial gifts are not designated for a specific project, The Wilds is able to use them for the greatest needs in the camp’s operation. Approximately 20% of our operating budget comes from the charitable support of our dear friends! This program ultimately allows us to keep our camper costs low, enabling us to share the Truth of God with the love of God to the largest number of campers possible.
Sustainers are comprised of people who have had various relationships with The Wilds Christian Association. These friends are former staff, former campers, parents of campers, local churches, and even organizations and businesses! The thing that all of these people and organizations have in common is that they believe in the mission of The Wilds and want to take part in it.
If you believe in the mission of The Wilds and would like to be involved in supporting the incredible work God is doing in New England, please prayerfully consider becoming a Sustainer! We thank and praise God for the faithful, encouraging, and sustaining support that our friends so generously provide.
If you would like to become a Sustainer, please call (864) 331-3267, email twne.donations@wilds.org, or use the form below.
A key supportive structure at The Wilds of New England is the many volunteers who donate their time and skills to maintain and develop the campsite. Their efforts allow us to minister the Truth of God with the love God to thousands of campers each year.
Below are a few different ways to get involved volunteering at The Wilds of New England. We hope one of them is a fit for you.
The Mainstay! These groups are the main support structure to help The Wilds “get things done.” They play a key role in areas of development such as new projects, maintaining facilities, and adding activities. The groups typically stay for a few days to a week and bring a mix of skill levels, ranging from the helper to the professional. Some groups come at a set time every year, and others come occasionally for specific projects. If you are willing to consider volunteer work in this capacity, and you would like to receive e-mails informing you of upcoming projects, please click below and fill out the form.
We need YOU! The Wilds has many friends of the ministry with diverse and valuable skillsets. When these individuals come and work alongside our maintenance team, they multiply what we are able to accomplish. If you fit into this category and would like to receive e-mails informing you of upcoming projects, please click below and fill out the form.
Many hands make light work! Throughout the year, we have service days when either youth groups or college age groups come to help with large tasks such as mulching, washing windows, hauling brush, staining, preparing the facilities for summer, and other various jobs.If you are a youth or college group leader and would be interested in bringing your group for a service day, please click below and fill out the form.
Summer is coming! The week before we train our summer staff, there are a lot of details we must attend to in order to accommodate the increase in camper numbers (which we love ☺). Things like cleaning, staining, moving beds and mattresses, grounds work, setting up program equipment (and much more) occupy our time that week. During this time, it is possible to bring your family and work together. However, there is no childcare provided. Availability for this week is limited. If you would be interested in volunteering to help us get ready for summer, please click below and fill out the form.
Calling all handymen (and ladies). Once a year, we set aside a week to go through many of our buildings and do general maintenance such as minor repairs, painting, updating furniture, cleaning air conditioners, organizing supplies, etc. During this week, it is possible to bring your family and work together. However, there is no childcare provided. Availability for this week is limited. If you would be interested in volunteering to help us maintain our facilities, please click below and fill out the form.
Lots of energy flows through our campsite each summer. If we were to conduct a camper energy audit at The Wilds of New England, we would find that our activity area is the epicenter of where they unleash their boundless energy and enthusiasm. During their free time, kids participate in a range of activities, including dodgeball, volleyball, 9 Square in the Air, basketball, and many other games. There’s always a game to watch or join in on!
Soccer is a fan-favorite among our campers, and its popularity continues to grow. However, enjoying a great game of pickup soccer can be challenging. Games involve makeshift goals and chasing after stray balls when they roll into the woods. It’s time for a change.
So what can we do to help campers and counselors fully enjoy activities? Build a new outdoor soccer arena and a human foosball court, of course! In the soccer arena, bounce-off walls, netting, and evergreen turf add a whole new level of excitement. Human foosball is another fun and unique activity that adds a spin on a classic game. These activities will be a magnet for campers, providing a space to join in a game or simply watch. We’re ready for thrilling matches that will keep everyone on their toes!
Would you consider making an investment in this new activity? The cost of constructing these new activities will be around $95,000. We already have a generous donor who is willing to fund half of this project - would you consider helping us fund the other half? Your generous donations enable us to create high-quality experiences while keeping camp costs reasonable. Thank you for your continued prayers and financial support, which help us further God’s work through this ministry.
All for Christ,
“The Needs Corner” itemizes multiple specific needs in our ministry. The majority of the items listed would enhance the experience of our campers but are not a necessity; therefore, they are not being purchased through our normal budgeting process. Thank you for your consideration to help meet one or more of these needs.
Thank you for helping us meet these needs.
