About Friendship Camp
The mission of Friendship Camp is to introduce every child to their forever friend – Jesus Christ. Early associational leaders envisioned sharing the gospel with community children through a summer camp. However, Friendship Camp is about more than summer camps.
It’s a place where we build disciples and train leaders. Each summer we train young Christians in how to share their faith and lead through our camp volunteer program and our AIM Summer Missions program. New buildings projects over the past decade have turned Friendship Camp into a place for year-round ministry. We envision a future where Friendship Camp also hosts invaluable retreats and training seminars.
Friendship Camp is a ministry of the Friendship Baptist Association and is sustained through the financial donations of our churches.

Did you know? Friendship Camp turns 75 in 2029!
In that time, God has saved more than 1,600 people at the campgrounds. That’s just what we know about through our summer camp records and does not include events held by churches and partner ministries. Our Friendship Camp Development Committee wants to celebrate this momentous occasion by completing the Friendship Camp Master Building Plan. But since we are committed to being debt-free for all new projects, we need your help.

How to Reserve
Step #1 – Check the Usage Policies
The boxes below share the most important info on our usage polices. However, it is highly recommended that you download the full policies to review before submitting a request. Please note that there are some seasonal limits on reservations and activities.
FBA Churches
There is no charge for our churches to use the campgrounds provided they have contributed $1,000 or more to the FBA General Fund during the previous year. Member churches who have contributed less than this may still have free use of the Dining Hall and the Outdoor Recreation Areas.
Outside Groups
Friendship Camp is not generally open for public use. However, we may approve some events as a witness to our faith, in a spirit of Christian charity, and as a means of living out the gospel of Jesus Christ. Outside groups and activities cannot contradict our beliefs or use the campground in a way that is not consistent with our faith and moral teachings.
We do not accept reservations more than 12 months in advance. You must also complete an Association Facility Usage and Hold Harmless Agreement before using Friendship Camp.
