- [Steve Lehe Transition](https://fortwilderness.com/steve-lehe-transition/) - "In February 2017, Fort finalized an improbable land exchange with the Wisconsin DNR. The month before, Steve Lehe volunteered for Zionsville Fellowship’s Great White North weekend. Over that weekend, he shared with Craig Holmquist that the Spirit was leading Him to consider joining Fort’s staff."
- [March 2026 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/march-2026-newsletter/) - For Jeff and Debbie Vredenbregt, Fort Wilderness isn’t just a place they visit - it’s part of their story. First finding Fort in the early 80's as singles, they watched their own faith grow here. Leaders invested in their faith, their relationships deepened, and they were even engaged at a Fort event. What God began in their lives is now something they long to pass on. This winter, they brought their grandchildren to Winter Family Getaway and watched the legacy continue.
- [February 2026 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/february-2026-newsletter/) - Hezekiah Sharkey is (almost) eleven. Ask him what he loves about Fort, and he lights up: “I love the craft shop. I love riding my bike around. And I really love the horses.” He first came to camp with his parents when he was three. His most vivid memory? Wrangler’s Breakfast. “The horses are just such special, beautiful animals!” After that first week, his mom says he talked about Fort, asked about Fort, or pretended to be at Fort every single day for nine straight months - most of his imaginary adventures involving horses.
- [Tom Shaw Retirement](https://fortwilderness.com/tom-shaw-retirement/) - "Depending on how long you have been part of the Fort Family, you will likely know the name Tom Shaw. Tom came to Fort in 1981 and served on staff until 1984 as a short-term missionary. Then he moved on to a successful career in Christian higher education serving in a variety of leadership roles while earning his Ed.D. During this period, he also faithfully served on the board of Fort for 14 years."
- [January 2026 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/january-2026-newsletter/) - Originally from Washington State, Vivian Hudson came to TruNorth this fall looking for a space to grow in her faith and step away from outside expectations. What she found was a year that has helped reshape how she sees God - and herself. "Christ is literally my foundation now," Vivian says. "I'm learning who I am and what God says about me."

- [Youth Camp Impact](https://fortwilderness.com/featured-video/) - Youth camp had a major impact on the spiritual journey of Laura. Watch her story here.
- [Paul Ziolkowski Transitions](https://fortwilderness.com/january-2026/) - "The last ten years, I (Todd) was blessed to serve alongside Paul at camp. Below I have an important update to share about the Ziolkowski’s and their upcoming transition from camp. Here’s how Paul communicated this decision to our Fort staff: “After 26 years at Fort Wilderness, I believe it is time to step away from my role as a missionary staff member. This decision comes after much reflection, careful consideration, and seeking wise counsel. My time at Fort is filled with great memories."
- [December 2025 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/december-2025-newsletter/) - I first came to Fort Wilderness in the winter, way back in high school (a long time ago!). I still remember it clearly: the snow-covered woods, the hush of the forest, the crunch of snow under my boots, the crystal clear night sky, and the wind whispering through the frozen trees. Winter has a way of slowing us down and drawing our hearts to the Lord. What a gift! That same sense of wonder is here again this year. After a couple of winters with little snow, the Northwoods is blanketed in white! With it comes tubing, broomball, cozy cabins, skiing, hot coffee, and moments to pause, breathe, and rest in God’s presence. In this season, we’re reminded that Jesus is the greatest gift, and every good blessing flows from Him.
- [November 2025 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/november-2025-newsletter/) - As we gather around tables and celebrate with family and friends this Thanksgiving, we're reminded of how good it feels to be filled - not just with food, but with joy, connection, and purpose. Psalm 107:9 reminds us that God is the One who “satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” This month, we’ve seen nourishment take many forms here at Fort, from new beginnings to generous giving, from family time to spiritual renewal.
- [October 2025 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/october-2025-newsletter/) - Did you know it often takes six or seven invitations before a man finally says, “Alright, I’ll go to a Men’s Retreat at Fort”? But when he does come, he's rarely disappointed. Men's Retreat #1 was no exception.
- [September 2025 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/september-2025-newsletter/) - With summer wrapping up, school back in session, and the Northwoods air carrying that unmistakable hint of fall, it's clear we’re turning the page on a new season. September brings fresh rhythms and new opportunities, and we’d love to keep you in the loop with a few reminders and updates you won’t want to miss.
- [May 2025 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/may-2025-newsletter/) - Have you heard of May-cember? It's possible you've seen the word "May-cember": that whirlwind season in May packed with school events, sports, concerts, and summer prep. Whether you're a parent caught in the chaos or just feeling the busyness - we see you, and we're with you! That's why we're keeping it short and sweet this month. Here are three quick reminders (plus a summer theme sneak peek announcement at the end)!
- [April 2025 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/april-2025-newsletter/) - When we gathered for the Shindig Barn Raising to support the Stables project earlier this month, we knew it would be a special night. Generous friends gathered at the picturesque Chippewa Ranch Resort for food, entertainment, and incredible stories of the Lord at work through the Horsemanship Program, and God blessed the event — raising more than $100,000 for the Fort Future campaign! But, true to His character, God was working behind the scenes, doing far more than we could see.
- [March 2025 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/march-2025-newsletter/) - Since mid-December, over 1000 campers and numerous volunteers have turned onto Wilderness Trail, passing the Fort Wilderness sign. We are deeply grateful for God's blessings and your prayers and support during these months of ministry. An incredible 98% of campers indicated on their surveys that they experienced spiritual impact! Praise God for using His Word, adventure programs, the wilderness, and Christian fellowship to fulfill His purposes, again and again! Here are just a few personal stories of how God worked this winter:
- [February 2025 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/february-2025-newsletter/) - Tom Robertson will retire in May after a long tenure of service to campers and staff. Through the years, he and his older brother, Ron, and their wives, served in virtually every area of camp, fulfilling the gospel-centered mission of Fort. Executive Director, Todd Leyden reflected, “I am blessed to continue to further the legacy created by Tom and the Robertson family, the board and the multitude of staff and volunteers throughout the past seventy years who love working alongside the Lord through camp.”
- [February 2025](https://fortwilderness.com/tom-robertson-to-retire-after-53-years-of-service/) - Tom Robertson will retire in May after a long tenure of service to campers and staff. Through the years, he and his older brother, Ron, and their wives, served in virtually every area of camp, fulfilling the gospel-centered mission of Fort.
- [January 2025 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/january-2025-newsletter/) - They're here!! After weeks of preparation and transition from fall to winter, the arrival of campers after Christmas put smiles on our faces. Each year, we eagerly anticipate campers (you!) coming to enjoy everything winter in the Northwoods typically has to offer: snowshoeing, tubing, cross-country skiing, broomball, etc. So you can imagine what it feels like when we look at the forecast and it's going to be much warmer than expected or the snow doesn't fall as we'd like. It's disappointing and a little stressful, right?
- [December 2024 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/december-2024-newsletter/) - Fort campers and volunteers tell us of the joy they feel seeing faces they recognize time and again when visiting camp. Two of our Missionary Staff would tell you that 30 years in one place will do that! Last month, the Fort Board of Directors and Staff took time to recognize two of our staff for three decades of service: Janet Merkel, Student Ministry Food Service Coordinator, and Lisa Torgerson, Office Director & Executive Assistant. Both serve in "behind the scenes" capacities here at camp, and yet without their generosity of time and talent, camp would not be what it is today!
- [November 2024 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/november-2024-newsletter/) - As we reflect on the words of Psalm 100, it is impossible not to be impacted by his exhortation to lead our encounters with the Lord with praise and thanksgiving. Regardless of our circumstances, God, by the very nature of WHO He is, is worthy of our gratitude and worship. Even so, we DO have so many tangible reasons to praise Him, so we thought during this Thanksgiving season it would be appropriate to share with you some things we are praising the Lord for here at Fort (you may find the last one very personal)!
- [October 2024 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/october-2024-newsletter/) - Fall ministry at Fort is special in that each weekend offers something completely unique. From Men's and Women's Retreats to married couples and youth groups, no two weekends are exactly alike. The Lord, however, works consistently through His word, nature, solitude, fun, and relationships. Young and old, male and female, singles and couples - He is changing lives every weekend here at Fort.
- [September 2024 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/september-2024-newsletter/) - Here at Fort, while summer ministry is over, there is so much beauty happening right now, and so much more good stuff just on the horizon. We wanted to take a moment to pause and tell you FIVE THINGS you'll want to know during this fall season!
- [August 2024 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/august-2024-newsletter/) - Each week of Family Camp, we ask on our week-end survey, "How did God work?" We are always so encouraged by the answers to this question, and thought you might be as well! Here are *just a few* of these testimonies. We pray you'll be encouraged: God is always, ALWAYS at work!
- [July 2024 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/july-2024-newsletter/) - When a 16-year-old student (we'll call him Corbin) arrived at Leadership Lab 1 back in June, relationships with his siblings were the furthest thing from his mind. He was excited to get away from home, make new friends, and experience some fun outdoor adventure trips. But as we know, God's plans are always better...
- [June 2024 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/june-2024-newsletter/) - Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, Summer Staff Resident Assistant Seth McKay never imagined he'd be working at a Christian camp in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. So when a buddy at his Colorado Bible school told him about Fort Wilderness, he kind of blew it off. Even still, he sensed the Lord drawing him in Fort's direction, so he completed an application.
- [May 2024 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/may-2024-newsletter/) - Before the fire! (( Before you read below: Fort did NOT have a fire, but our summer theme relates to fire...)) Camp has prepared for dangers. What a blessing that multiple staff are highly-trained in fires, medical, lost campers, dealing with financial challenges, and other emergencies. However, I am not talking about real fires, but about something else. Instead, it ties in with the hundreds of campers who begin to arrive in less than two weeks, and their purpose. Why are they coming? Why did Grandma save money to send 9-year old Julianna? Why is Dad driving five hours one way two weekends in a row for drop-off and pick-up?
- [April 2024 Newsletter](https://fortwilderness.com/april-2024-newsletter/) - "You won..." Doesn't it feel good to get something you were hoping for but weren't sure you'd get?
