Wesley Acres Retreat Centre and Campground

It’s been a busy and exciting fall here at Wesley Acres! 🍂

Over the past two weekends, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting more than 350 Christian high school and college students from Winnipeg to Montreal!

Behind the scenes, Randy and his dedicated team of volunteers have been hard at work, preparing and serving nearly 2,000 meals throughout the two weekends!

We are so grateful for the many ways Wesley Acres continues to serve and connect with groups throughout the year. Hosting Christ-centred rental groups during the off-season provides wonderful opportunities to extend our outreach while stewarding our facilities and resources. Thank you to everyone who helps make it possible! 🌿

Looking for a place to host your next retreat, conference, or special gathering? We would love to help make it happen! Whether you're planning a church retreat or a weekend for your organization, get in touch with our team at [email protected] or visit wesleyacres.com/group-retreats to learn more.

We are so grateful for Carl & Sue, and the many other dedicated volunteers that have been with us since the early years of our beautiful camp. 💚

Continuing in our theme of honouring the contributions of older adults across the FMCIC we want to share about Carl Bull from Wesley Acres Retreat Centre and Campground

Carl and Sue Bull have been part of the Wesley Acres community since the early years of the camp. He served as summer pastor there from 1994-2004 while also pastoring Picton Free Methodist Church. Today, he helps facilitate the camp’s Library and Archives, a role he has faithfully carried out for over 20 years. Working alongside Dave and Nancy Clements, he helped establish the Archives Room and continues the ongoing work of preserving the history of Wesley Acres and the Eastern Ministerial Conference.

Carl also spends several hours each week cutting grass around the grounds, something he says is both therapeutic and a way to help keep Wesley Acres beautiful. He is passionate about preserving our history so future generations can appreciate the legacy of faith and ministry that has shaped this place for decades.

One of the things that makes Wesley Acres so special is the way our community comes together! 💚

This summer, what began as a project involving just three paid staff members grew as volunteers stepped forward with their time, skills, and energy. Before long, nearly 20 people were working together to build a new roof over our Dining Hall patio!

Perhaps you or your family enjoyed a meal, visited with friends, attended an evening program, or found some shade under this new structure. If so, you experienced firsthand what can happen when people come together to support the ministry of Wesley Acres.

As we look toward the end of 2026, we invite you to be part of that same spirit of generosity. Our annual ministry giving goal is $378,000, with $108,000 still needed to meet our budget and support our programs, facilities, and Christ-centred community.

Would you consider making a financial gift to help us finish the year strong?

Thank you for the many ways you support Wesley Acres. Together, we are investing in a ministry that will bless campers and families for years to come! 💚

🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from Wesley Acres! 💚

A crew is hard at work upgrading our water lines! After many years of faithful service, some of our aging infrastructure is ready to be replaced with new, more reliable lines.

As this work continues, there may be brief water shut-offs throughout the property. Please also use caution while travelling around the grounds, as there are currently several areas that have been dug up as part of the work.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as our team works to complete these important upgrades. We’re grateful for the opportunity to steward our resources well and invest in the ongoing care and maintenance of the beautiful property God has entrusted to us. These improvements will help us continue caring for Wesley Acres for years to come!
