Camp Curriculum
We see God's love in close friends and family. We know that such love links our lives, teaching us about commitment, intimacy, grace, and faith. As we seek to create and strengthen life-giving relationships, we remember that such love flows from God, links us all together, and we give thanks.

Transportation Information
Bus/motor coach transportation will be offered to bring campers to and from Wesley Woods. An additional fee [TBD] will be required to ride the bus, and this option should be indicated in the Registration section below.* If campers choose not to ride the bus, the responsibility of transporting them to and from camp will fall on parents or guardians, and arrangements must be made in advance and communicated to Colin, Sydney, or Krys.
* We will require a minimum number of campers and staff to register for bus transportation to make this option feasible. You will be notified as soon as possible if this option will not be available.
There are a limited number of partial and full cost scholarships available for campers this year.
(Note: The scholarships do not cover the funding for items purchased at the camp's Canteen store.)
