Welcome Kevin Craig!

Warm Beach Camp Ministries would like to welcome Kevin Craig as the new Sales Manager!

Kevin was born and raised in Rochester, New York, and at thirteen years old, his family moved to the San Francisco Bay area.

Kevin has a vast camping ministry career that spans over 37 years! He worked as summer staff for a camp during high school and college before graduating from the University of California, Berkley, with a degree in Architecture. Kevin was called back to camping ministry when the same camp approached him for a full-time position two years into his architectural career. Kevin has worked at camps in Santa Cruz, California, on Whidbey Island, and was Director of Operations at Cannon Beach in Oregon for 12 years.

When asked what he enjoys most about Christian camping, Kevin stated, “Camping is not age-specific. From young to old, camp is a place that can be provided for anybody. Some people may be skeptical of church, but being in an outside setting with food involved opens people up to having a relationship with Jesus.”

Outside of work, Kevin enjoys spending time with his wife of 38 years, Patti, his children, and six grandchildren- all seven and under! He enjoys gardening, exploring the outdoors and is looking forward to using his new inflatable kayak around the many lakes in our area.

Welcome, Kevin; we are so glad you are here!

A Different Place for Different Needs

If you walk around the Warm Beach Camp (WBC) grounds during a specific week in the spring, there’s a good chance you’ll hear beautiful music pouring out of almost every meeting room.
