Heart of CAMP Rehoboth Award given to Wesley Combs

CAMP Rehoboth recently honored outgoing board member Wesley “Wes” Combs during a reception, presenting him with the inaugural Heart of CAMP Rehoboth Award.

Combs served on the CAMP Rehoboth board for six years, including three as president.

The award honors Combs’ unwavering commitment, compassion and influence, reflecting the heart of CAMP Rehoboth. Hosted by members of the CAMP Rehoboth board of directors, the reception celebrated his outstanding character, service, giving and dedication that go beyond what is expected to uplift CAMP Rehoboth and the broader community it serves.

“Wes’s impact is immeasurable. Whether through leadership, advocacy, giving or quiet behind-the-scenes support, Wes’s tenure strengthened the trust in CAMP Rehoboth, expanded our reach and made a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve,” said Kim Leisey, CAMP Rehoboth executive director.

After remarks by Leisey and Board President Leslie Ledogar, Delaware Sen. Russell Huxtable, D-Lewes, presented Combs with a tribute that will be preserved by Delaware Public Archives. U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., addressed the reception via video to honor Combs’ inspiring leadership.

In his acceptance, Combs attributed his impact to the it-takes-a-village philosophy, sharing credit with his fellow board members, CAMP Rehoboth staff, volunteers and the many supporters who bring the vision of CAMP Rehoboth to fruition.
