2025 SPEAKER: REV. LEANN ROBINE

Rev. LeAnn Robine is a United Methodist Pastor serving the Corning and New Market churches. With a heart for discipleship and a deep love for exploring how faith intersects with daily life, LeAnn finds joy in “Jesus” conversations over coffee, seeking sanctuary in the contemplation of art, and enjoying sunshine meditations with her dog Simba (she’ll gladly show you thousands of pictures of him). During her Sabbath and free time, LeAnn can be found reading all the books and spending time with her loved ones!

Here, amidst the serene beauty of nature, we find the space to nurture our souls, strengthen our bonds, and empower each other to shine. From laughter-filled adventures to moments of quiet reflection, every experience at Wesley Woods is a testament to the resilience and beauty of the feminine spirit.

COZY ACCOMMODATIONS

If you have to be away from home for one night you should be happily sleeping on our warm and updated cabins! We want you to leave refreshed and relaxed.  And don’t worry! We’ll make sure you get to have a sleepover with all of your friends! We’ll even have ear plugs for you in case someone in your cabin makes you need them. #wink

DELICIOUS MEALS!

We aren’t just saying this because we have to… Our food is seriously one of the BEST parts of camp! Our food service manager brings their personal touch and experience to every meal and we offer a ton of fresh fruits, veggies and options for those with dietary restrictions.
