"My family has been greatly and positively impacted by Camp Wamava across the many years we have been active as campers, counselors, and volunteers. Even though our own kids have "aged out", we now have other family members whose primary faith experience is via being a camper at Camp Wamava. Seeing the great impact to them and to so many other kids spurs us on to keep supporting the great mission of Camp Wamava!"

"I chose to join the board because I came to WAMAVA when I was in the youth group and made not only fond memories but grew closer to the Lord. Now that I am older and have a family of my own, my kids now come to WAMAVA and are growing those relationships. I believe in the mission of the camp and want to see it continue to show God's love!"
