Camp Wesley's history spans 80 years. As early as 1936, a small group of Christians organized by Mr. M. C. Scercy erected the first arbor on the property of G. L. Rogers in rural Rowan County, North Carolina.

In 1946, M. C. Scercy's nephew, Rev. William Scercy, felt led of the Lord to organize a camp meeting board. Several selected men with interest in beginning a camp meeting gathered at the home of Mr. Ray Daniels of Kannapolis, NC on September 6, 1946. The motion carried to name the camp, "Camp Wesley Interdenominational Holiness Camp".

The first camp meeting was held August 1-10, 1947. The group soon purchased a five-acre plot of land from Mr. G. L. Rogers, still the current site of Camp Wesley. The first permanent buildings on the grounds were a 60' by 80' open-air tabernacle and a small dining hall. Today, nine buildings cover the Camp Wesley grounds including a new fellowship center completed in 2006.

With an eye toward the future, the Camp Wesley board purchased an additional five acres adjoining the property with plans for recreational areas, an additional dormitory and RV/camper space. To further aid in Camp Wesley's development, an additional tract measuring 140 by 150 feet adjacent to the camp was donated to Camp Wesley during the 1999 Camp Meeting.

Trent Patterson, currently Camp President, and the Camp Wesley directors look forward to many years of continued ministry in the community.

Welcome to Camp Wesley, established in 1947, we are located between Kannapolis and Mooresville, North Carolina. Camp Wesley is an interdenominational camp. In June of each year, we hold a camp meeting which is held for 11 nights. Camp meeting begins on Thursday and continues for the next week and a half ending on Sunday. Most of those in attendance travel in each evening from the surrounding areas. However, there are some people that choose to bring their camper and stay on-site. For a nominal fee there are campsites available with hookups.

Details about this year's camp schedule and guests for camp 2016 can be found on the 2016 Plans page.

Youth Camp is a highlight for Camp Wesley. Youth arrive on Sunday and stay on the campgrounds for six nights, leaving on Saturday around noon. Rev. Todd Hinson is our Youth Ministries Director. Todd and those that work with him plan a wonderful camp experience for the youth. Visit the Youth page for the details on youth camp and for online camp registration and forms.

Children also have a blast at Camp Wesley! Each night during the services, children ages 3 through 11 have worship services of their own. Rev. Stephanie Young is our Children's Ministries Director. Stephanie and a fantastic team of adults and teens love working with the children and planning active worship services for them. Check out the details on the Children's page.

2016 will be our second year for Camp Juniors! Dates this year are June 16-18. Get the details on the Children's page and register the camp. Volunteers, adult and teens ages 12 and older, can register for cabin leaders, activities, camp nurse...you name it. We're looking forward to another camp with loads of fun and faith building!
