The Board of Camps has issued a statement regarding the future of Golden Valley and Aldersgate. In October they decided to not hold summer programs at those sites. In November they decided to not hold retreat ministries at the sites either. Both sites will be locked up and winterized with a caretaker to watch over the properties. There are a lot of emotions around the closing of two sites. Many persons within the annual conference first met Jesus or had significant personal spiritual growth at one of those two sites. The Board of Camps has not made decisions regarding the physical sites.
Even with the closing of two sites I am very optimistic about the future of Wesley Woods and in particular the approaching summer. We have made very specific moves to improve the program schedule, give campers to create their own experiences, and improve the food/facilities. We are also experiencing an enormous amount of requests for summer staff applications. I am personally feeling God's presence around the site and the staff and for the first time in many months I truly believe we are tuned into God's will for the ministry and working to bring it to fruition. We would love to have you praying for our full time staff and their ministry. Please pray for the coming summer and for all those who have been hurt by the closing of two campsites.
Blessings & Thanks,
Deke - Site Director
