Kevin Cullum is
the Camp Director for Camp Wyoming. He came to Camp in April 2004 with
his wife, Shelley. Kevin and Shelley have three children,
Maggie, Alex, Sara, a dog Zoey and two cats, Timber & Sunny.
Kevin was born in
Columbia, South Carolina and later moved to Richmond, Virginia where he
spent most of his adolescent life. He graduated with a Political
Science degree from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
During his summers while attending college, he worked at Camp Hanover, a
Presbyterian Camp located outside of Richmond, Virginia. After
graduation, Kevin worked for a Sports Marketing Company as well as a
Property Management Company in Washington, D.C. He then altered
his life journey towards a career in Camping. He became Camp Director
for the Kiddie Keep Well Camp located in Edison, New Jersey. The camp
served 150 to 175 underprivileged children each week on its 13 acre
site. Kevin received “the call” from Camp Wyoming in January 2004 to
return to Camping ministry. He hopes “youth have the opportunity to
enjoy the experiential learning aspect of Camp in a loving and
supportive Christian environment. There is nothing better than seeing a
child build self-esteem as they overcome a challenge on the low ropes
course or make a new lifelong friend during their time at Camp.”
Kevin enjoys
camping, canoeing, soccer, golf, and most other outdoor sports. His
favorite food is General Tso’s Chicken and his favorite movie is the
Star Wars Saga. In fact, rumor has it that he has a collection of Star
Wars’ outfits that he wears every now and then. So beware in case you
run into “Chewbacca” the next time you visit the Camp office.
Kevin has worked with the Camp Board of
Directors to set a vision for the future of Camp so that it can allow
more participants, young and old, to experience the beauty of the
setting and the fellowship with others.
The vision centers on updated
improvements to the site and facilities and more adventurous programming
for older youth. Kevin’s personal dream is to see the Camp eventually
enlarge the pond as well as build a High Ropes Course and Climbing
Tower.
