The Cobeac Team
Meet the Director and his family
When asked what it is like to live at camp, Aaron often responds, “It’s a blast and a blur!” We can’t believe that the Wilsons have already been here for over ten years. Whether traveling or serving at camp, the Wilsons practice living out Psalm 100:2 “Serve the Lord with gladness!” Aaron’s heartbeat is to serve churches and disciple staff as camp offers well-run events that prioritize the Word. The Lord has used Aaron to lead the camp out of debt, build both camper cabins and staff housing, and strengthen relationships with the churches that use the camp. Tina has helped in many different areas of camp. Currently, she primarily helps in the office, heads up ladies events, and travels with Aaron. Jack and Wil have grown up at camp and love having the opportunity to make friends with so many different campers that come to camp throughout each year.
