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 and expanded, serving over 250 children, youth, and families. We host camps, retreats, and events for churches and Christian organizations year-round. Our ministry to families in the Family Campground has grown to serve 275+ families in the camping season (May-October). We are thankful for God’s faithfulness and the way He uses Rock Mountain Bible Camp as a place to experience Truth, Community, and Change through Jesus Christ.
