The Wilds Christian Association

beautiful morning, and I was about to have a big week ahead of me. I was thirteen years old when I embarked on a journey to go camping with my church friends at a place called the Wilds. I have been to a Christian camp before, but I had never been without my parents. It felt substantially odd that I was going to a Christian camp without my family for one whole week.

In the film, both meet when Smith is hunting for gold, and despite their differences, they feel a mutual amorous connection between each other. She shows him a completely different…
