Camp in the Community
Camp in the Community is a unique program that serves as a way for Camp Wesley Woods to live out what Jesus asks of us in the Great Commission, to "go and make disciples of all..." Rather than wait for kids to come to camp, the program goes to where kids are and serves those who for a variety of reasons don't have the chance to come to summer camp at Wesley Woods.
Camp in the Community partners with United Methodist Churches to bring day camps into local communities. It also sets up free day programs in community parks. Staff from Camp in the Community also work with children in a program serving homeless families and support other church outreach efforts.
