Bill Klees

Executive Director | Woodcrest Retreat

I am thankful for the privilege of serving at Woodcrest. I joined the team as Executive Director in the fall of 2019. My passion is camp ministry. I have been active in serving at various camps since high school when I surrendered my life to Jesus at a Christian camp. I spent many summers at Camp Susque in Trout Run, PA. For eight years I was the full-time program director at Susque where God honed my creative talents. Even while spending 12 years pastoring a church in Towanda, PA, I continued my passion for camp. I started a teen camp at the church and spoke at numerous camps and conference centers during the summer. I am excited to return to camp ministry full-time and to use both my camp skills and pastoring skills to further the mission of Woodcrest.
