Anita Benedict lives in Monticello, Iowa and works in the Food Service Department at the local High School. Her husband, Roger, works with Star Manufacturing. They’ve been married for 30+ wonderful years.  They have two children, Sarah and Thomas, who grew up going to Camp Wyoming. In fact, Thomas eventually became a counselor at Camp where he worked on staff for five summers. Currently, Sarah is working with American Eagle at the Eastern Iowa Airport while Thomas lives in Waterloo where he works handicapped adults at EPI.

Anita has served on the Camp Wyoming Board of Directors and as the Chair of the Program Committee.  She also serves as the Church Treasurer at the First Presbyterian Church in Monticello. Anita likes Chinese food and really enjoys cross-stitching.

Anita’s father, Robert Lyon, was a member of the first group of volunteers who helped build the cabins at Camp. Her family’s connection with Camp Wyoming has stayed strong for much of the Camp’s history. She feels “camp has come a long way and continues to grow.” She was proud to be a part of the group who helped build the outdoor Labyrinth at Camp in 2004.  She hopes that people of all ages get the opportunity to come closer to God through the use of this amazing resource. “Camp is a place where you can connect with your family and take time to relax.”
