History

Founded in 1949,[3] camp construction was largely finished by 1953, under the supervision of a General Baptist minister and his wife, who donated 20 acres of land for the site.[4] By 1984, the camp was under the operation of Ken Nelson, but was still affiliated with the General Baptists. At that time, it had a size of 40 acres, and while it served religious uses, it primarily functioned as a youth camp.[3] In the early 2010s, the campsite hosted archery camps.[5] As of 2022, the camp is still operational with a religious focus and a relationship with the General Baptists.[6]
