Camp Hosanna was started in 2003 with a vision to reach the lost children in our area at no cost to them. It was said that this could not be accomplished. They were told the cost was too high, how would they feed them all? But we know our God can and will supply every need!! The Lord has proven that if you have a willing heart and fully trust Him.....HE WILL SUPPLY!
The camp had a meager beginning with campers and counselors in tents, but through the support of many churches, prayers of people all over the country and through The Lord's help, the camp now has 12 Cabins for campers, a 2-story house for Preachers, a double sided bathhouse, a large pavilion for services and activities, a full commercial kitchen, and a 7,200 square foot building under construction to be a Dining Hall and dorm style rooms.
Being true to their vision they host 8 weeks of camp through the summer months with an average of 125 plus young people every week, with junior and teen alternating weeks COMPLETELY FREE of charge. The Lord has certainly blessed their efforts by over 2400 professions of faith to date with many dedicating their lives to the Lord's service.

Bro. Stan and Mrs. Spring Wood are the founders of Camp Hosanna. The Lord led brother Stan to start Camp Hosanna with the idea and vision of "I didn't have to pay for my salvation, why should I charge others to hear the gospel?" They have been faithfully in the ministry for 21 years. Brother Stan started pastoring a local church in Hiawassee in early 2023.
Bro. Fabian Moreno serves as the Camp director with his wife, Mrs. Ashley. They both attended Camp Hosanna as campers at a young age, then served there as counselors. The Lord called brother Fabian to serve at Camp Hosanna as director in 2021. Him and Mrs. Ashley now serve full time at the Camp.
