Our Mission and History

F

ounded in 1997, Wilderness Works originally provided enrichment and outdoor living experiences for children living in Atlanta’s toughest neighborhoods and particularly properties managed by the Atlanta Housing Authority. Wilderness Works was an original Hands On Atlanta partner and relied on HOA for volunteer support. Wilderness Works began expanding into more distant Atlanta neighborhoods in 2004. In 2005 Wilderness Works began partnering with elementary schools and particularly Atlanta Public Schools.

In 2005 Wilderness Works began supporting Atlanta’s neediest children with summer camp and school season programming by partnering with Atlanta’s leading homeless shelters including Atlanta Mission, Salvation Army Red Shield and Nicholas House.

Wilderness Works enjoyed great publicity with NBC’s Al Roker providing national attention on the Today Show in 2008. In 2011 Wilderness Works had the honor of former Mayor Andrew Young’s help with launching the first annual Wilderness Works breakfast and fundraiser.

Wilderness Works continues providing enrichment and outdoor living experiences for Atlanta children with the help of Hands On Atlanta, Camp Bob, Camp Evergreen, Camp Glisson and Camp Grace.  Wilderness Works provides amazing City Camp for children during school season months since 2002.
