I was incredibly impressed by the level of dedication and engagement displayed by the staff members of Pyles Camp. Having started there as campers themselves, it is evident that they are fully invested into the Pyles Camp mission, and are committed to helping one generation, after the next, to grow and thrive. They serve as excellent role models for the boys to look up to, and balance authority with compassion to maximize their impact.

Pyles Welcomes its New Camp Director
Guest Author - Jeff Wilson
My history with the camp dates back nearly three decades, when a highly respected mentor encouraged me to get involved with this very special program. My father, whose career was built leading major foundations and non-profit organizations nationwide, also provided encouragement. I did not know until years later that he was well versed in the humble success and “miracle” of the Pyles program, also having many mentors in his professional and personal life who were long supporters of the Camp.
