🌲 Big news from Camp Wildwood! 🌲

We’re excited to officially welcome Emily Coleman as our new Youth Camp Program Administrator! 🎉

If you’ve been around Camp Wildwood, you may already know Emily! She's a two-time Camp Co-Director, served on camp worship teams, and has been a Camp Wildwood camper since 4th grade! 😁 Needless to say, she has a heart for camp, a passion for ministry, and a love for all things that make camp so special. ❤️

Now, she’s stepping into a new role to lead the planning and organization that brings the Summer Youth Camps to life! We can’t wait to see how God uses her gifts as Camp Wildwood continues to grow.

Help us give Emily a big Wabash Park welcome as she steps into this exciting new adventure! 🙌

It’s happening! New pickleball courts!!!

——————

The new courts are one of several campus and infrastructure upgrades made possible through grant funds from Phase II of Lilly Endowment’s Capital Project Initiative for Residential Youth Camps- a multi-phase initiative aimed to help Indiana residential youth camps improve the overall camp experience and outcomes for youth through new, enhanced and expanded facilities integral to quality youth camp programming.

We praise God and give thanks for His provision during the time and effort put into applying for and stewarding the grant funds! We are deeply grateful for the opportunity 🙌

And hey! Come to camp on September 12th at 4pm to hear about our response and plans for Phase III funds awarded to us.
