Mission Statement
Big Sandy Camp provides an environment where lives may be changed through a Christ-centered experience.
NEW PROGRAM DIRECTOR AT BIG SANDY CAMP
We are excited to introduce Rhonda Wynegar as our new program director here at Big Sandy Camp. Rhonda grew up in Big Lake, Minnesota and attended Big Sandy Camp as a camper. She attended and graduated from Crown College then began her ministry in The C&MA in Oregon. She completed her licensing and consecration processes with The C&MA along with completing her Master’s degree while serving in Oregon. She worked with children and youth along with the churches in her area to form a district camp for churches.
Rhonda then moved to Alaska where she helped to revitalize a children’s ministry in the church she was serving. Rhonda met Scott, her husband, while serving in Alaska. As a family they returned to Minnesota where they have served at Riverside Church in Big Lake for the past six years on a part-time basis in the children's ministry.
Rhonda has remained active in promoting camp ministry throughout her ministry years. We are excited about the skills and experience that Rhonda brings to the position of program director. She has a passion for serving and developing spiritual formation.
Rhonda and her family will be moving to Big Sandy Camp in early May. Please be in prayer for them as they make this transition along with running full steam into our summer season ahead.
