Unplug, Unwind, & Experience God

Nestled in the peaceful rolling hills of Bellefontaine, Ohio, Wesley Camp & Retreat Center is a place where campers of all ages step away from the distractions of daily life and step into something truly special. Here, laughter echoes across the fields, songs rise up from the campfire, and hearts open to God’s presence in the beauty of creation.

As part of the West Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church, Wesley has been a spiritual home for generations, offering Christ-centered summer camps, uplifting retreats, and meaningful year-round events for children, youth, adults, and families. Whether you’re joining us for a week of summer fun, a weekend retreat, or a special event, you’ll find a welcoming community that feels like home.

PLAN YOUR RETREAT

Our Mission

At Wesley, we believe camp changes lives.

Our mission is to provide a safe, welcoming, and Christ-centered environment where people can encounter God, grow in their faith, build life-giving friendships, and discover their unique gifts. Through outdoor adventures, creative worship, and intentional community, we invite every camper and guest to experience transformation in heart, mind, and spirit.

This is more than a place to stay. This is a place to grow, to be challenged, and to be loved exactly as you are.
