We strive to be a place where campers feel safe, secure, and loved. Sometimes campers are nervous to do something they've never done before, but the staff and volunteers are there to lend a helping hand (sometimes literally) to be sure the campers have a good time while trying new things! Grateful that this camper, although nervous, said yes to a new experience and had trusted adults to help him through! Praising the Lord while celebrating His creation while creek stomping!

Our Exceptional Persons campers enjoyed some uplifting worship songs before lunch yesterday!

Kari Borlaug is our year-round, Guest Service Manager. Kari will greet you upon arrival and will answer phone calls throughout the day. Kari worships with her family at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Indianola, and her favorite place in The Woods is Blue Heron Bay.
Kari's ultimate favorite scripture is John 15:13 No one has greater love than this; to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
When asked what she is looking forward to most at camp this summer, Kari shared: "I am looking forward to be a servant of Christ, showing His Love to ALL, and meeting all of God's children who come through the gates of Wesley Woods Camp and Retreat Center."
