Chris Smith     
Executive DIRECTOR

I have been a part of Wilderness Trails since 1992 and been involved from its beginning in 1967 when my father came on staff. My wife and our three children have all helped at one time or another. It is our privilege to share God's love and the beauty of His creation to hurting and at risk youth in Southern Oregon through this camping ministry.

 

Jessie Hamblin     
Operations DIRECTOR

I started volunteering at Wilderness Trails in 2004. The time I've spent up at camp, along with the relationships I have built there, have helped shape who I am today. I love the new adventures and memories that are built at camp and I am grateful for the opportunity to share the gospel with youth in Southern Oregon.

boyS PROGRAM DIRECTOR

I am super excited to be joining the team at Wilderness Trails! I started working with kids in the youth ministry in 2018, and have always enjoyed sharing the gospel with them and building the next generation of Christian leaders in our community. Wilderness Trails offers a tremendous opportunity for growth in each of these kids, and for God to work in miraculous ways. I am truly humbled and excited to a part of this program, and look forward to sharing the love of Jesus with youth in Southern Oregon.

Camp Caretakers

We are thrilled to join the Wilderness Trails team! We both grew up attending and volunteering at various youth camps so we know how valuable the camp experience can be. We believe that being in nature is being close to God. In this new adventure, it is our joy to share the love of Christ with all who step foot on the Wilderness Trails property.
