We serve about 1500 people (youth and adults) in a year here at camp.  Some of the things we offer are:

• 6 weeks of summer camp,
• New Beginnings twice a year (diocesan middle school program)
• Winter Camp (renewal weekend for summer camp attendees)
• Family Camp
• Men’s Retreat
• Annual Camp Wingmann Golf Tournament

We have all of the above along with church retreats, and other church youth events. We have hosted events for non-profit groups like Umpact (high school leadership program from Polk County) and ROTC groups have come out to use our ropes course for team building in the past.  The majority of our participants come from within our diocese.  We are in the process of restarting Happenings (a high school diocesan program) for next year.  Something new for 2015 will be our Camp Wingmann Music Festival and a Resource Weekend for church educators.

As Bishop Brewer pointed out October 12 when he was visiting us here, Camp Wingmann helps to build leaders for the future.  We have had several campers become youth leaders, missionaries, leaders in their churches and the diocese. This past summer we had three high school students go home and ask to be baptized. We really do make a difference in the lives of our campers.

Camp Wingmann needs your support.  There are several ways to do that.  Pray and pray some more for the camp. You can make a donation directly to the camp or go to Amazon.com, pull up the Camp Wingmann Wish List and purchase needed items.   As the year draws to a close, if you are looking for a tax deduction, please remember our Yates Hall Renovation Fund.  We believe the cost will be around 1 million dollars for all that is needed.  Please consider how you can help us as we minister and work to build future leaders for the church!

If you are interested in having Fr. Deke Miller come speak to your church or a church group please let us know.  He would love to share his passion and joy for the ministries of our great camp. Our phone number is 863-453-4800.
