The Camp Pastors this year are Steve Wells and Milton Cunningham. Rev. Wells currently pastors South Main Baptist Church in Houston and will attend with his wife, Missy, and their three children. This will be their first visit. Dr. Cunningham and his wife, Barbara, will return to Paisano, as they have for the past several years. Although, Dr. Cunningham "retired" in 1999, he is still very involved in activities at Baylor University, including acting as the coordinator of special projects.His sermons are always lively and applicable to daily living.

This year, Larry McGraw will again serve as Bible Study leader. McGraw and his wife, Sandy, have attended for several years. McGraw's subject matter and teaching style are sure to be as entertaining as they are educational. A native of Wichita Falls, McGraw serves as Professor of Bible and Associate Dean of Logsdon School of Theology at Hardin-Simmons University.

Between services, there will be several activities available for everyone throughout the day. These activities are designed to create strong muscles and deep friendships that last for generations. Paisano Baptist Encampment encourages family togetherness and spiritual renewal.
