The Wilds Staff
Our staff
The Wilds could not exist without our committed, Christlike staff! From our campsites in North Carolina and New Hampshire to our Administrative Office in South Carolina and CampsAbroad training touching locations all over the globe, our people serve God by serving people with compassion and joy.
Supporting our frontline servants
A server needs a kitchen staff; an army demands logistical support; an ultra-marathoner calls for a crew. Our three branches of ministry reach thousands of campers each year, but that wouldn’t be possible without a lot of support behind the scenes. From our Administrative Office in Taylors, South Carolina, our “Shared Services Staff” manage donations, promotions, publications, IT, and much more. Our frontline servants couldn’t do what they do without fantastic support from this group.
