Our Team
-
Andrew Vanderschoor
Andrew (aka “Vanda”) is our brilliant & much-loved Manager! Andrew has been on the team here at camp for 23 years and he and his family live on-site. He’s a bush-bashing, art-loving, hilarious, bug-fanatical, devoted Jesus follower. Vanda has poured much of himself out into Wedderburn Christian Campsite over the years.

Paul Muilwyk
Paul is our fantastic Assistant Manager! He has worked at WCC for 18 years and is the clever mind behind the back-end admin required to make your camp enjoyable and smooth. If he’s not answering emails, on the phone, or building programs, you might find Paul down at camp welcoming people on site or instructing an activity.

Kath Taylor
Kath has been a highly valued part of our team for 17 years. Affectionately known as the “camp mum”, she is always quick to show kindness. You could find Kath in the office handling finances or cleaning the grounds. Predominantly though, you’ll find her in the heart of camp (the kitchen) preparing delicious food from scratch!
