Our History

Born out of prayers, dedication, and thousands of hours of labor, Bethel United Baptist Bible Camp came to be on the banks of the Little St. Francis River in 1967. In August of 1972 the Association held their first encampment and has since been the home of Bethel United Baptist’s Youth Camp, the teen camp following the next year. Over the forty plus years of camps and retreats it is impossible to count the souls saved, lives blessed, hearts called, and prayers answered. A special thank you for all the past superintendents, directors, evangelists, cooks, and counselors for heeding the call of God to make camp possible. We look forward to meeting the next generation of God’s Children and Workers at Bethel United Baptist Bible Camp!
