Tim and Ashley Stairs are excited to be ministering here at Bethany Camp. Tim grew up as a pastors kid and missionary kid. He had the privilege of spending some time in South Africa during High school which had a deep impact on his outlook of life. Ashley grew up in south west Michigan which is where they met in college. They got married on 12/17/2011. God has blessed them with four awesome kids Alistair, Maryjane, Isaiah, and Aubrielle!
Tim has been working in construction and ministry since 2006. He has a deep passion for discipleship and seeing ministry growth and sharing the gospel. He has an associates of applied science in electrical technology and is currently working on continuing his education through online classes.
Our favorite thing about working in camping ministry is how discipleship fits so well into our everyday work and life. It is awesome to see how God uses a week of camp to change campers lives and what's even more awesome is seeing how God uses the summer to grow the hearts and minds of the summer staff. God changes lives at camp and it is a privilege for us to be apart of it!

Wally is the ever-handy man who will tackle any task given to him with precision and ease. He is always ready for a new challenge. Whether it's cleaning the cabins or washing the dishes he is willing to handle it.
