Baptist Children’s Homes’ offers residential wilderness camps for school-aged boys and girls. Cameron Boys Camp and Camp Duncan for Girls provide behavioral change for children in a highly structured, wilderness environment. The Camps offer the freedom of being outdoors and the structure of small groups with constant, caring supervision.
Children live in group of ten with three counselors, called “Chiefs”. With the help of their peers and Chiefs, campers learn discipline, positive behavior patterns and self-worth. The goal is to build positive, healthy relationships where deep hurts are healed and bad attitudes are changed.
BCH Wilderness Programs’ Vision
Live and work with youth outdoors year-round.
Brief History of How BCH Wilderness Programs Got Started and Why It Exists
Started in the 1980’s, Cameron Boys Camp was started to help at risk boys. Years later they added a girls program. It exists to help at-risk youth, by teaching them hard and soft skills while in an outdoor environment. Education is built into our year-round program, where learning takes place on our large property and around the country on extended trips (canoeing, hiking, etc.).
