The Faces of the 2016 Summer
Who are the Camp Wyoming Summer Staff? This year they came from as far away as South Africa and as close as Maquoketa, Iowa. They are elementary education majors, Bible college students, and outdoor ministry graduates. Most importantly, they are young adults who committed to spending their summer working in camp ministry- teaching kayaking, leading songs, crawling through caves, and studying Scripture. It takes a very special person to work on a camp staff. Here at Camp Wyoming, God sent us an abundance of very special people who worked incredibly hard to make this summer fantastic. Please keep them in your prayers as they begin the next adventure in their lives!

See what some of our summer camp staff had to say about their experience:
Arrrrrrr you ready for an adventure!? Pirates Camp is a favorite every summer here at Camp Wyoming. Just for kids entering grades 3-5, these campers get to enjoy all the parts of camp we know and love with a Pirate-y twist! Along with classics like archery, creek stomping, and corcls, Pirate campers go on a treasure hunt, have sword fights, build cardboard boats, and walk the plank into the swimming pool. It's a fun and creative week of camp, and it's definitely not an opportunity you want to miss out on. Sign your camper up today at https://campwyoming.net!
