Executive Director

Joe comes to us with a background of various experiences and a deep love for the ministry of summer camps.

During his seminary studies, he helped launch their business school and community resource center. Before coming to Wesley Woods, Joe worked as a program director at a summer camp. He led the residential and adventure programs by setting spiritual direction for campers and staff. After that- he spent time in sales roles in the software and technology industries.

When he’s not at work- you can find him on a hike with his wife, Allison, on the golf course, or buried in a book.

Site Manager

Scott came to Wesley Woods in June of 2016 with Wanda. Native to the Warren, PA area, Scott and Wanda returned after a stint in the US Navy Seabees. Scott has worked in the timber industry, as a contractor, and in the oil field. Wanda prayed for a ministry position for Scott, and God closed a door and opened the one that led them to Wesley Woods.

Board Chair

Samantha has been involved with Wesley Woods since she was 6 years old and first attended as a Mini Camper. The impact of counselors and staff led her first to Jesus, then to serve on staff herself, then to Asbury University for college, and finally into the ministry. She is grateful for the chance to make return on the many years of support and growth she experienced at Wesley Woods by now serving on the Board of Directors and as a co-dean for the Best of Summer Sampler. She looks forward to many more summers in the woods, and to adding to the collection of camp name tags that rattle happily every time she open the door to her church office.
