Summer 2012 was spirit �lled –– and we can’t wait for 2013! Come enjoy horses, the Blob, Iceberg, a 3-D archery range, climbing wall, high and low ropes courses and so many more things for all ages. The �rst time listed in the description is the time we have reserved for the campers to arrive, and the second time listed is our check-out time. Dinner meals will be served for campers who arrive on Sunday nights or Wednesday nights. Wesley Woods o�ers two types of adventures within our programs. Inpost camping programs stay in cabins or lodges, which are air-conditioned and have bunk beds. Campers in the inpost program will take most of their meals in the dining hall. Outpost campers stay in a variety of accommodations from the Pioneer Log Cabin to a 1918 Sears and Roebuck House to Covered Wagons. Outpost campers will cook breakfast and supper over the camp�re, and get lunch inpost at the dining hall. Outpost events are indicated by the camp�re after the event name. If you would like more information on speci�c camp sites, you can �nd those on our web page at wesleywoodsiowa.org. All events have some things in common. Campers can expect three meals and two snacks daily. Campers with special food needs are encouraged to complete the online food allergy form at wesleywoodsiowa.org before they arrive. Camper fee includes a water bottle, group picture, and horse ride (weight limit 240 lbs.). The whole camp has a daily Bible study, worship, theme days and community activities.

Outpost events are indicated by the camp�re after the event name.

We are dedicated to sharing the Good News of a loving Father and a Son who covered our sins. Campers will be encouraged to grow in their faith through testimonies, worship experiences, daily devotions and small group Bible Studies. We believe individuals grow stronger in their faith as they worship, play, pray and live in Christian community. God has blessed us with beautiful facilities, dedicated staff and tremendous support from parents, pastors and congregations. Thank you for considering joining us for a summer camp or retreat experience.

Welcome!
