General Director Letter May 13
May 13, 2025
Dear supporters of Faith Bible Camp,
Thank you for your faithful support and prayers for the ministry of Faith Bible Camp! We look forward to a fruitful summer of ministry as we look to the Lord to lead according to His plan and purposes. We are excited that 540 campers are registered for our summer camp sessions, and many of our camp sessions are at or getting near capacity! We encourage anyone 18 or older in 2025 to join us for our Young Adult Retreat from June 27-30. The Young Adult Retreat is a three-night retreat, and it will be a fantastic way to start the summer. We also have some space in our Kids Summer Camp 1 & 2 sessions, July 7-12 and August 4-9, Girls Summer Camp, July 21-26, Boys Summer Camp, July 28-August 2, and for male campers at Jr. Teens Summer Camp 2, August 11-16. Please register for these sessions on our website.
Summer Staff
Please pray for the staff as they prepare to serve in various capacities throughout the summer. We thank the Lord for providing dedicated and qualified staff for most weekly positions. However, areas of urgent need for our camp to fully function this summer remain. The most urgent areas of need include male cabin leaders for Sr. Teens and Boys Camp, female cabin leaders for Girls Camp, cook’s assistants, boating assistants, waterfront directors, camp health officers, and sports directors. If you are interested in serving, please apply on our website.

A reminder of important dates to mark on your calendars:
Prayer Gathering: In conjunction with the Day of Prayer for Camp on May 25, we invite everyone to join us for an FBC prayer gathering on May 28 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at Charleswood Community Church. The evening will be an opportunity for people to gather and hear about some of our camp's needs, and to pray for wisdom and guidance as we finalize plans for the 2025 summer ministry. If you can't attend, we invite you to pray for our camp individually, as a family, or at your Wednesday evening service or prayer time.
Work Bees: Two church work bees are planned to help prepare the campsite. We invite you, your family, and friends to join us on Saturday, May 31, and Saturday, June 14. Lunch is provided, and this is an excellent opportunity to serve the Lord together. Please RSVP on our website or by emailing the camp office directly.
Staff Training: Our summer staff training will take place at the campsite from Friday, July 4, to Sunday, July 6. There will be opportunities to enjoy fellowship, learn more about your role as a staff person, be challenged in your faith during chapel sessions, worship the Lord together, participate in fun activities, and enjoy delicious food! Staff training is mandatory for all cabin leaders, first-time dishes and dining room workers.
