WELCOME TO WILDWOOD
Engaging our imagination is a powerful way to alter our hearts and minds. Few things ignite our imaginations like the arts of story and music. Paws & Tales artfully uses these to take kids and their parents to Wildwood where we experience adventure, mystery and lots of laughter. With all of that going on you might not notice all of the biblical truth coming through. One of these truths that kids — and adults — need most is the realization that God is just crazy for us. If we cannot receive this truth much of what God has in mind for us is out of reach. So when in Wildwood we love to imagine, hear and experience how much God loves us. A truth this deep is best transported by some specialized and heavy equipment – like imagination. Paws & Tales is committed to sharing the joys of family, all the fun good friends can have and participating in the spiritual battle that rages on around us.
Wildwood is a port town encircled by a range of mighty mountains called “Wild Mountain.” The time period is 1910-ish. Technology is simple and the adventures are to be found in every direction. All of the “People” in Paws & Tales are animals. Bears, beavers, moose and weasels to name a few. “The Club” consists of five third graders who simply cannot agree on a name for this club, so it continues to be called simply “The Club.” The official membership includes C.J., Staci, Ned, Marsha, and Gooz.
Paw Paw Chuck is a grizzly who is the main mentor/grandfather of the town but especially the members of “The Club.” He is gigantic, wise, a lot of fun. The kids love to go to him with their troubles and when they need anything fixed.
