We are excited to be able to invite you to another week this summer at Grand Canyon State Baptist Camp. Our theme this year is CONTINUE, reflecting the message of II Timothy 3:14, “...But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;” GCSBC is such a great opportunity for the youth of your church to get away from their normal routine. They will be blessed with solid Bible preaching, engage in God-honoring activities, and establish godly friendships. I hope that our camp can be an incredible blessing to you, your church and your teens this summer!
OUR MISSION
The mission of Grand Canyon State Baptist Camp is to assist Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches to fulfill the Great Commission by providing Christ-centered camping that God can use to get people spiritually growing, and serving the Lord.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
By definition, our camp is a service ministry to the local church, using the natural creation to evangelize and edify all to the glory of God. In this age, God has called the local church to accomplish His will on earth (Matthew 16:18). Camping is a tool that can be used by the local church to assist her in fulfilling its God-given responsibility. Our purpose is to support the local church in its responsibility of reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:19-20) and developing the believer to reflect the image of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18).
The greatest need of man presented in the Scriptures is salvation. The Bible clearly displays how God provided salvation for man and how he may receive it for himself. Seeking lost souls must be a central theme of the camp (2 Corinthians 5:18-20). The Bible is just as clear on the need for the edification of the believer. God wants His children to reflect the image of His Son, Jesus Christ. So, a second central theme for the camp is to produce the “quality product” of holiness and purity of life in the believer (Ephesians 4:11-13). A third central theme to be accomplished by camping is to have purpose-oriented fun. Every activity at camp is designed to breakdown barriers, eliminate distractions, and prepare hearts for receiving God’s message. The desire is to provide wholesome fun not just play.

OUR CORE VALUES
The Word of GodWe believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative, living, Word of God. We use the King James Version for preaching, teaching, Bible memory, Institute and Camp presentations, and counseling. We believe that the KJV is the Word of God and is relevant, credible, sufficient, and authoritative.

The Local ChurchWe believe in the priority of local autonomous, Baptist churches. Our students are taught to understand and know the importance of the local church in their lives.
