CAMP KULAQUA FOUNDING DIRECTOR PASSES AWAY
Florida Conference is saddened to report the death of Camp Kulaqua’s founding director, Wayne Foster. He passed away Monday, February 16, at age 93.
“Wayne will be missed,” said Phil Younts, Florida Conference Camp Ministries Administrative Director, “but his vision and legacy will live on through Camp Kulaqua and the lives touched for God’s kingdom.”
Very shortly after joining Florida Conference as youth director, Foster became the driving force behind the acquisition of property known today as Camp Kulaqua in the small town of High Springs, Florida. The original, undeveloped 273 acres of land—purchased in 1953 for $18,000—has grown to 695 acres with housing for more than 1,000 people. An estimated 50,000+ people use the facilities each year.
A Celebration of Life service is scheduled March 22, 2:00 p.m., at Sarasota Seventh-day Adventist Church, 5764 Churchill Downs Road, 2½ miles east of Interstate 75 on Clark Road.
