What the days are made of.

Your church or school brings the preacher, the counselors, and the schedule. The camp takes care of the buildings, the grounds, and the meals.

The Chapel

Preaching services

Your group’s own services, with your own preacher. Campers dress up for the evening ones.

Meals and the Basement

Meals are included

Served on site with every rental. The Basement is the snack shop, with coffee and snacks, so campers bring a little spending money.

Recreation

Room to run

Ball fields, open fields, an outdoor basketball court, and a creek and pond. A pool and sand volleyball pits are planned.

The grounds

150 acres in the hills near Athens

Cabins and bunkhouses that sleep 150, the Chapel, the dining hall, and the fields and woods around them.

Camp staff

A staff you can trust.

The camp staff consists of Fairview Baptist Church staff, Bible college students, Fairview Baptist Church members, and high school students. All staff are screened and approved through Fairview Baptist Church.

Your group’s own leaders and counselors stay with your campers. Our staff run the kitchen, the grounds, and the buildings so your leaders can give their attention to the campers.
