Executive Director - Randy Welk

​Randy Welk began serving as Executive Director of Camp Pinewood on September 1, 2022. Randy and his wife Lori have been supporters of the Idaho Regular Baptist Bible Camp Association since Camp Maratha and participated in the first week of camp the association held at Camp Pinewood. Over the years, Randy helped physically with camp building projects as well as provided leadership by serving on the camp executive board. In January of 2022, Randy retired from a 33-year career with the USDA to pursue full-time ministry. At the time he believed his ministry would be with Columbia Heights Baptist Church in Boise where he and Lori were serving. However, in the absence of a director at Camp Pinewood, Randy committed to attend every association camp in the 2022 season to provide board level leadership. God moved in Randy’s and Lori’s hearts during those many weeks at camp and by the end of summer it was clear God was calling them to ministry at Camp Pinewood. Randy is humbled he has been chosen to lead Camp Pinewood in “Glorifying God by partnering with churches to make Biblical disciples of Jesus Christ through the camp experience.” Randy and Lori have four adult children and two grandchildren.
