Fort Wilderness Ministries

Fort Wilderness Ministries We are a big family that utilizes the camp setting to share our love and God's love. People tell us that we are like a big family.

Fort Wilderness is the center of the universe conveniently located in the Northwoods of Wisconsin (USA)... or so we like to think of it. Since 1956 Fort Wilderness has been serving families, singles, and youth year-round. Our unique Northwoods environment is perfect for disconnecting from the busyness of life and connecting with people and God. We invite newcomers to experience creation, adventure

and God's word in a new way while growing healthy relationships. Fort Wilderness is staffed by 20+ missionaries and hundreds of volunteers all year long. That is just part of the family. The other 8,000+ family members camp with us every year. Summer, winter, fall or spring, friends are always invited. Waiting till you join our family up here in the center of the universe!

🚨Two boys spots just opened up!🚨

After a last-minute cancellation, we now have two open spots for BOY’S at our In Depth camp happening July 4–10, 2026!

For students entering 9th–12th grade, In Depth is a week packed with adventure, camping, team-building, deep friendships, and unforgettable memories. Most importantly, it’s an opportunity for students to take their faith (you guessed it) In Depth.

These spots won’t last long, so if you’ve been considering camp for your teen, now is the time to register!

When was the last time you paused to consider who God is?

If you had just 60 seconds to describe Him, what would you say?

Our 2026 theme is YHWH: The God Who Is.

God’s nature is unchanging. Our world changes. Cultures shift. Relationships ebb and flow. Our attitudes and opinions can sway from day to day, but God remains the same.

That’s why it matters deeply that our view of God is anchored in what Scripture declares to be true.

This year, we’re setting our hearts on knowing Him more fully: the God who was, who is, and who will always be.

SUMMER is HERE! We can't wait to dive into these truths together!

See you soon!

Saddle up your horses! The stables project is taking shape. With each small change, the anticipation grows, and we are eager to see how the Lord will use this gift from Him to grow our horsemanship program!

The stables project is projected to be complete Summer 2027. Please pray with us for the safety of this project and for God to be glorified each step of the way!

A few weeks ago, staff, family, and friends gathered to celebrate the TruNorth Class of 2026! Over the last 9 months, we’ve watched these students work hard, learn deeply, grow in confidence, and build friendships that will last far beyond their time here.

We are so proud of all they’ve accomplished and grateful for the ways God has been at work in each of their lives. Join us in congratulating this incredible class!

This past weekend, men from Whitestone Church got away to the Northwoods for their annual Men's Advance. With a focus on the armor of God, they spent time together in creation, soaking up God's word, good food, and time together as men. We look forward to seeing you again soon, gentlemen!
