Nick and Emily Wodicker
Camp Director
Nick and Emily have just joined us at Bethay Farm in 2025. Emily is the granddaughter of Treva Turpin (founder of Bethany Farm). Nick is the camp director and Emily will assist Nick in his ministry. She may also be found in the camp kitchen and is quite the talented knitter so maybe the craft times at camp might be her place.
Nick and Emily have both been teachers in their past lives in St Louis. We think this could be an excellent background to come from, to be a real blessing at Bethany.
They both love kids and were specifically and amazingly called by God to minister at Bethany Camp. Feel free to ask them about this call.

Ken and Sue Jordan
Camp Administrator (married to the daughter of Bill and Treva)
Ken and Sue joined the Bethany team in 2013. They both grew up in Iowa and met as children but didn't knew they would get married as young adults.
​
They spent 10 years as missionaries with New Tribes Mission in the Philippines. With 2 married kids and 3 grandkids they returned to settle down at Bethany.
​
Ken enjoys building with clay soil, he always tries to get the kids muddy while at camp. Clay projects are favorites with many campers. In that vein, it is Ken's hope to build some cabins using clay soil and lime plasters.
Sue is our hosting coordinator. She will assist you in setting up an event.
