Wilderness Camp For Troubled Youth Near Me Novels & Stories

(Mira’s POV) The school bus rumbled down the winding road toward Ashford Academy’s private lakeside campgrounds, the trees blurring past the windows in a sea of green and gold. It was the annual senior retreat three full days and nights of “team-building,” outdoor activities, and “personal growth” that everyone knew was really just an excuse for chaos. For me, it felt like the perfect storm.

“I don’t want to be special. I just want to be fast.” I smiled at the memory as the camp gates came into view. The wolf clan summer camp was tucked deep into the forest, far from ordinary roads, protected by both guards and old rules. It was meant to be safe, a place where children of the Pack could learn discipline, teamwork, and control. I parked and stepped out of the car, the gravel crunching under my shoes. The air smelled of pine and earth, familiar and grounding. For a brief moment, I allowed myself to believe that this was just another normal day.

As Eric tried to process the clusterfuck that this nightmare had become, Max and Scott crawled out of the shadows, making their way towards them. "Eric," Aimee wheezed, "Whatever that bitch stuck me with, my wolf can't heal. You need to take me to Moonhowler. There is a woman named Narelle there who will know what to do." Aimee was turning a sickly shade of pale as she turned to Max and Scott, "You two, get our three boys out of there safely, and take Adam straight to the hospital. There's a safehouse Dad used to go to by the lake," She paused to laugh but coughed up blood instead, "It's called the wild west, you'll be safe there, and it is stocked up with food, and firewood, etc."

she stated. “I thought so, too,” he shook his head as he waited for Izzy to get into the passenger’s side seat of the car and close the door behind her. Then Owen walked around to have his seat behind the wheel. “What do you have in mind? I mean, how do you want to spend the getaway?” Asked Owen. “Since it’s almost summer, let’s try swimming at a place nearby for anything fun. I wanted to try Airsoft games or hunt with a real hunting rifle, but I didn’t have anyone to drag with me. I don’t even know where to go,” she frowned in disappointment.

So we choose to make camp at a secluded side of the woods with hopes of getting on with it tomorrow. Little did we know we were in for a lot of trouble...

I shall sleep often from now on; my body needs all the rest it could get. I can’t sleep again. I just woke up. “What to do now?” My eyes landed at the closed book on my table. It’s the book from the library that is about the town of Emberton. I haven’t found anything informative other than the map and the founders of the town. Maybe I should just head out? Nope. Not a good idea. Being outside is too risky. I don’t want another wolf pouncing at me or me unintentionally killing them with my blood.

I offer. “I see.” Art says, clinging to the little guy in his arms. “He was brave,” I say with a smile. “Saved me. Didn’t you, big guy?” I ask. Leo nods into his grandpa’s shoulder. “Come.” He says, turning and walking away. “We can discuss more things at our camp. And bring the hummer. If you leave it out here, it will get scrapped by other rogues or the packs wandering around wreaking havoc.” My mouth falls open when we enter the camp. If I had known rogue life could look this nice, I might have convinced my father to defect long ago to live in these adorable tents and treehouses.

"Let's work on it together and make it happen. It's a wonderful opportunity to provide these children with the education they deserve." Amid the picturesque woods, our group was bustling with activity as everyone set up their tents, preparing for the camping experience. Mia, ever the modern-day nomad, couldn't help but express her frustration about the lack of phone signals in these remote surroundings. She seemed a bit lost without her usual technological comforts.

"I get it, but do you really think you'll get discovered way out here? We're in the middle of nowhere. There's no traffic here. It blows right past us and Holopaw heading either to Melbourne or St. Cloud. As long as you keep her off the main road, she should be well-hidden. I mean, you can't all stay in here like birds in a cage. You need to get out, get some fresh air. She's a kid. She needs to run and play." Ezra cocked an eyebrow at him. "You have a playground around here?" Josh smirked. "There's a small one in Holopaw, but I'm not talking about that. This is Bull Creek; the entire place is a playground. Trees to climb, lakes for swimming and fishing, trails to hike. It's a child's paradi

I asked. “Medicine Rock. What pack did, or do you two belong to?” “Sandia Crest. We are still members. I'll just have to let my brother know when we are joining a different pack once we are ready to.” Jasper nodded his head and we walked up to the truck and trailer. We ate our dinner and watched the horses as they moved around. This was the best part of this trip so far. Not being in the truck and watching our horses graze. I will be happy when we reach Montana tomorrow night. I wasn’t cut out for long trips like this.
