The state of North Carolina, fondly known as NC, is a wonderland where layers of blue mountains kiss the sky, beaches whisper tales of the ocean, and cities hum with energy and culture. It’s a place where the wild woods still hold secrets, and the rivers sing songs of the old days. And right here, amid the whispering trees and chipper birds, a group of children, known as the NC Nimble Noggins, come together for their most thrilling activity – Riflery! The Nimble Noggins are a daring and cheerful bunch, each possessing a unique personality that’s as vivid as the North Carolinian sunset. Leading this gang is a cool imaginary character named Bullseye Billy, a hilarious, floppy-haired whiz kid with freckles sprinkled across his nose. Billy, with his magical rifle named “Whistling Wendy,” can hit any target, no matter how tricky it may be! In Riflery, these kids aren't just learning to aim and shoot; no sir, they're mastering the art of focus, patience, and respect for safety rules. Their quirky imaginations turn the rifle targets into ice-cream cones, alien spaceships, or even the rare snoring dragon! With every shot, they imagine splattering ice-cream, saving the world from aliens, or waking the lazy beast. Riflery days are always filled with laughter, the thud of bullet hitting the target, and Bullseye Billy’s funny tales. Billy would often say, "Remember, we're not just shooting at targets; we're aiming for fun and teamwork!" And this is how, in the heart of NC, amid all the natural beauty, the Nimble Noggins fill their days with laughter, adventure, and a whole lot of Riflery fun!

Whether through summer camps or retreats, our goal remains the same: to expose people to Christ and encourage their spiritual growth through His Word and by reflecting His character in everything we do. While we provide top-notch recreation and exciting programming, the heart of our camp is the spiritual impact, rooted in the truth of God’s inerrant Word.
