Wesley Camp
Located in the South West of Latia near the town of Liepaja. Wesley Camp was a farm purchased in December of 2004. The farm was in general disrepair and work began to renovate the camp in May of 2005. Founding gifts came from the North Alabama Conference, Holston Conference, Red Bird Mission Conference, and Martin United Methodist, Martin, TX. Summer of 2007 will be the third season of summer camp at Wesley Camp
Mission
Evangelism Spreading the good news of Jesus Christ
Giving Strength to Christians Fellowship, education, and conference use provide a foundation for United Methodist in Latvia and surrounding countries to grow in their Faith.
Camping Camping Ministries provide enrichment, fun, and faith to youth in Latvia and the surrounding regions.
Infrastructure
The original Farmhouse has become the office and caretakers house. The two large barns have been renovated with new roofs and insulation. Plumbing for bathrooms and showers and a functioning kitchen will make it possible to accommodate 100 campers in the summer and 50 in the winter. Other structures and the apple orchard make up the remainder of the grounds of Wesley Camp
