Our Story & Timeline
Rock Mountain’s ministry to churches has grown from a handful of churches in 1996 to average over 50+ churches and Christian groups served every year. Our youth camps have grown from two summer weeks to three, serving over 200 children & teens, as well as serving churches through Fall, Winter and Spring retreats and off-site events, and our ministry to families in the Family Campground has grown to serve 250+ families per camping season. We are thankful for God’s faithfulness and the way He continues to use Rock Mountain Bible Camp as a place to experience Truth, Community and Change through Jesus Christ.
