OUR PEOPLE
CAMP WESLEY PINES STAFF

Chap Fenwick
Executive Director
Our Executive Director, Chap Fenwick, was hired in August 2019. He is originally from Kosciusko and a graduate of Mississippi State University (Hail State!). With nearly a decade of experience in camping ministry, Chap is passionate about seeing relationships grow within the body of Christ while at camp. He and his wife, Kelly, live on the grounds with their three children, Jack, Claire and Sam – as well as their dog, Scout. On any given day, you might find Chap trying his absolute best to be a lumberjack, singing his kids’ favorite songs from Encanto, attempting to stay in what he calls “decent shape”, or eating his favorite dish, biscuits and gravy.

Mary Beth Hilliard
Program Intern
Mary Beth has lived all over Mississippi (her parents are both UMC pastors), but claims the MS coast as her home. MB was a camper, C.I.T. and counselor before joining Wesley Pines as Program Intern in August 2021! She loves being at camp not only because she gets to help lead others to Jesus daily, but it has also been the most stable location in her life, and it provides a safe place for her. Mary Beth (and her dog Margeaux) feel right at home at camp!
Favorite canteen snack: Coke & cool ranch Doritos
