Fort Wilderness

McNaughton, WI

You and your family belong at Fort Wilderness!

While the days may be long and challenging, if we’re honest, we know the years are rushing by. Today’s decisions help shape our tomorrows.

Ever wish you could slow things down while building into your future? Welcome to Fort Wilderness.

Up in the beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin, Fort (as our friends call us) has something for everyone. It’s a place for doing things we’ve never tried before … and for doing things we love.

More than doing, though, Fort is a place for being. Being a family. Being around friends, old and new. Being challenged. Being loved. Being the person God created us to be.

Being together. That’s Fort Wilderness.

Choose your own adventure!

You’d be right if you said Fort Wilderness has something for everyone. Yet more than that, we also know camp IS something for everyone. What you experience in your time at Fort is even more valuable than the experiences you have here. Camp is an adventure for your body and for your soul.

Here are three quick reminders (plus a summer theme sneak peek announcement at the end)!

Our Staff

Meet the People that Keep Fort Going

Using every opportunity to build a relationship with churches, campers, community, and staff that allow for spiritual life changing conversation and decisions.

Our Staff

Please pray for us this week!

We only have 5% left to go! May 31 is the closing date of fundraising for Phase 1 of the campaign. Please help us reach the goal by continuing to pray in earnest that the goal is reached

Pray for our staff, that they would continually seek the Lord, and that they would be given strength and wisdom for every task put before them.

Pray for each person who drives past the Fort sign this year. Pray that they would not leave without encountering the God who loves them fiercely and they would be changed for His glory!

Pray staff use their time well as we work on short-term and long-term projects, all while ministering to campers this winter, many of whom are youth and volunteers.
