Our vision is to restore Lake Ellen Bible Camp as a gospel-centered Christian camp serving young people, families, and churches throughout the region.

A group of local pastors, community members, and ministry leaders are working together through an independent nonprofit organization to make this possible. The camp is governed by a local Board of Directors made up of leaders who share a commitment to the camp’s mission and long-term ministry.

The first step in this process is purchasing the camp property. The purchase price currently being discussed is approximately $3.5 million. To move forward, the project is now seeking financial support from churches, individuals, and other supporters who believe in restoring the camp’s ministry. 

Once the property is secured, additional funding is expected to come through grants and partnerships that support youth programs, camp facilities, and ministry outreach. These grants often require the organization to own the property before funding can be finalized.

If the project moves forward, the vision is to once again host youth camps, family camps, retreats, and discipleship programs that focus on sharing the gospel and helping young people grow in their faith.

The heart of this effort is not simply reopening a property, but restoring a place where lives can be impacted for Christ for generations to come.
