Holston Conference Summer Camping 2019
Welcome to Camp Wesley Woods!
Our theme this year is from Colossians 2: 6-7 “So then, just
as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your
lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened
in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with
thankfulness.” Prayerfully, we’ll be helping campers
plant and strengthen their spiritual roots! Since 1959,
God has used Camp Wesley Woods in helping kids begin
relationships with Jesus and grow in their faith journeys.
When God’s creation, His word, a community of Christ’s
followers, and the Holy Spirit are all present, amazing things happen.
As a parent, I know the importance of camp, as well as the importance of
trusting the people you place over the care of your children. My personal
commitment to you is that we will provide a safe, fun, connectional, faith
building, and skill developing environment here at camp. I will treat your
children with the same concern and care that I treat my own four kids; in fact,
many of you will meet my four children in our programs.
We sincerely thank you for considering Camp Wesley Woods to partner with
you and trusting us with the spiritual development of your children. We look
forward to seeing you at camp! If you have questions about camp, or would like
a personal tour, please give us a call or send an email.
Yours in Christ,
Tony Lea, Director

Tiered Pricing: Camp Wesley Woods offers three pricing options. Why three prices?
RATIONALE: For many years, Camp Wesley Woods has
attempted to use fund raising to keep summer camp rates
at an affordable level for many families who could not
manage the true cost of camp. Unfortunately, the cost to
operate camp has increased greater than our fees and extra
fund raising.

of participating in camp while preserving an opportunity
for participation for those unable to meet it. The plan is
simple. Choose the price that works for you! Your choice is
on dentia and does not influen e the ua ity of the a
experience for any child attending camp. We ask that you
consider the following options, pray and then choose the
tier that you are able to pay.
• ier his heavi y su sidi ed rate does not refle t the
true cost of camp, but we offer it in the hope that families will be blessed
by this more affordable price. This tier is made possible by donors and other contributions to
