WildHeart Counselors
What's WildHeart?
Wildheart Adventure Camp is located in the north woods of Northeastern Wisconsin, about 2 hours north of Green Bay. WH started in 2012 as a ministry of Victory Academy for Boys. Our boarding academy helps spiritually struggling teens develop and live out a biblical worldview. WildHeart gives us an amazing opportunity to help even more kids by utilizing our unique adventure camp setting.
The campers spend a very full three weeks learning about and enjoying adventure activities while we challenge their thinking with scriptural Truth. The first week is Training Week (complete with The WH Obstacle Course) where campers learn to build campfires, survive in the woods, cook over the fire, and provide basic first-aid (just in case). The second and third weeks are spent on adventures like backpacking, paint-balling, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, whitewater rafting, and mountain biking.
The best part of WildHeart is how intense it is. From survival training and rappelling to dealing with guys about how God's Word addresses all the mundane and hardcore issues of life . . . WildHeart provides a dynamic setting to Learn, Grow, and Lead.

What'll I Do?
We want a single man to be a team leader for a group of 5-7 teen guys. You'll lead them through the daily schedule and help them be successful in the activities.
You will also take advantage of the moment-by-moment opportunities to mentor and disciple your guys. If you're serious about God, passionate about seeing the Bible change lives, and love the outdoors . . . you'll love working at WildHeart.
To sum it up - it's an amazing, soul-stretching experience! Every counselor who's invested his life at Wildheart and Victory Academy has left with a clearer impression of the Gospel on his heart. You will be changed, grown, stretched in who you are and how you minister God’s grace in the lives of others.
