Meet Pastor Bob

Originally founded in 1996 by Pastor Bob Moody (fondly referred to as PB) as an outreach from his church, PB started hosting baseball games at the local ballpark for people with various disabilities and their families. You could always find PB grilling hot dogs under a pavilion, surrounded by a circle of his friends. What started as baseball games in the summer turned into parties at the church throughout the year and eventually grew into an overnight camp that provided a fun week for campers and respite for their caregivers.

A Legacy Continues

Sadly, in 2016, Pastor Bob passed away, yet his family, along with a dedicated group of volunteers, has carried on the tradition of hosting the camp each year. Since this photo was taken, the Moody family has grown considerably, and many members including several grandchildren remain actively engaged and dedicated to this mission today.
