CAMP LEADERSHIP

ROD FLETCHER

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Rod served as the Head of School for The Brook Hill School in Tyler, Texas, for 19 years before taking the helm of Campus by the Sea in 2023. In the school setting, Rod loved in delivering God-centered Christian education, significantly growing enrollment, and raising capital to fund state-of-the-art facility growth.

Rod’s history with CBS runs deep. His grandmother, Betty Fletcher, was part of the team that founded the camp in the 1950s and his parents met at CBS in 1962. Campus by the Sea is Rod’s favorite place on earth – and not just because he loves to fish. It is at CBS that Rod “comes away, meets God, and is renewed.”

Rod first fell in love with CBS as a kid at Family Camp in 1974 and worked on staff during college, where his faith and love for Jesus was solidified. As newlyweds, Rod and his wife Heather worked on summer staff together, and as parents, CBS Family Camp played a vital role in their parenting, their marriage, and in fostering the faith of their three boys.

All three of their boys have worked on staff at CBS and have a deep love for camp and for Jesus. Rod holds a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Education from Wheaton College, a Master of Education in Educational Leadership from Covenant College, and a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Reformed Theological Seminary.
