Campership announcement

  • Wesley UMC has Camping scholarships available at this time for those desiring to attend camp this summer.  It is Wesley’s goal to cover half of the camp fee per individual who applies and meets the criteria, although the actual amount of assistance is based on the number of applications and the amount of funds available.
  • You will also find information on camperships available from MN Conference by checking out their website at www.campminnnesota.org/camperships .

Applicants are encouraged to participate in camps sponsored by the UMC; however, camperships will be considered for any Christian-based camping opportunity.

Scholarship recipients will be invited to come forward during worship to receive award recognition.

The forms and instructions are available in the church office and the deadline is May 31, 2023.  There will be no exceptions to the deadline.
