Into the Wild Outdoors
Into the Wild Outdoors is a faith-driven nonprofit that creates Christ-centered outdoor experiences where youth and families gather in circles, not rows, to grow in character, resilience, and their walk with Jesus.

How the mission comes to life
Every program combines hands-on outdoor learning with Biblical truth, so participants are not just watching an event, but actively growing through shared experience, conversation, and mentorship. Each gathering includes a devotion that connects what happens in the outdoors to real-life faith, helping youth and families build confidence, purpose, and lasting relationships.

Activities and purpose

Skills Outings
One-day Skills Outings give participants practical instruction in fishing, hiking, shooting sports, and glassing in a small-group setting that keeps the experience personal and relational. These outings are designed to build focus, discipline, responsibility, and confidence, while devotion time helps participants connect those lessons to following Jesus in everyday life.

Weekend Family Camps
Weekend Family Camps bring families together through hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping adventures that pair outdoor challenge with meaningful mentorship and campfire-centered Biblical discussion. These experiences strengthen faith and character by helping families learn, serve, and grow side by side.

Youth Adventure Camps
Youth Adventure Camps are week-long, Christ-centered experiences for ages 9–17 that include hunting, fishing, shooting sports, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, hunter safety education, and outdoor recreation. With small group sizes, evening campfire devotionals, and thoughtful spiritual conversations, these camps are built to deepen resilience, friendship, outdoor competence, and a closer walk with the Creator.

Campfire Devotions

Not in rows—but in a circle, under the open sky, with no distractions and nowhere to hide. The fire draws people in. Walls come down. Conversations go deeper.

What was heard during the day finally has space to be processed, questioned, and lived out. Around the fire, stories are shared. Truth is spoken into real life.

Faith stops being something you hear about and becomes something you experience.

This is why it’s so powerful.

This is why it’s so needed.

Because in a world full of noise and surface-level connection,

people are desperate for something real.

And around the fire they find it.
