What is KBC all about?
Kansas Bible Camp is a non-profit, independent, Christian camp committed to encouraging young people to examine the teachings and claims of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through daily Scripture lessons and messages, campers are encouraged to trust Christ as their Savior and to commit their lives to Him as Lord.
Interspersed with chapel services, Scripture memory, and group devotions, the camp program includes sports, games, and activities. Camp activities include: swimming, bicycling, canoeing, trampolines, crafts, hiking, and nature classes.
When what was originally the Hutchinson Country Club was purchased in 1956, it became Kansas Bible Camp. The facilities have been modified to be able to accommodate 120 campers per week. We have a counselor to camper ratio of about 1:8
Kansas Bible Camp has a financial policy of relying on the Lord's provision through His people to supply for all our needs. This allows us to present the gospel free of charge. Our staff, cooks, and counselors, having received God's invaluable gift of salvation, volunteer their time and labor in order that campers might hear the good news of God's love for them.
What is the purpose of KBC?
The goals and objectives of Kansas Bible Camp are as follows:
  • To present the Lord Jesus Christ as the living Savior for sinners and a loving Lord for Christians.
     
  • To ground young people in the foundational truths of the Faith.
     
  • To provide an opportunity for young people to have Christian fellowship in a wholesome atmosphere.
     
  • To create a heart-hunger for the study of the Word for themselves.
     
  • To help young people commit key verses of Scripture to memory.
     
  • To help our youth with their problems by capable, godly counseling.
     
  • To encourage Christian youths to witness to non-Christians.
     
  • To provide suitable facilities for healthy, wholesome recreation and quiet meditation.
     
  • To encourage young Christians to take part in prayer and Bible study meetings.
     
  • To impress upon the youth the importance of the local church in the life of the believer.
     
  • To encourage personality growth and development of gifts.
What does KBC believe and teach?
The doctrines we teach at Kansas Bible Camp are as follows.
  • We believe that the Bible is the true and final authority in matters of life and doctrine, and that God has revealed Himself through Scripture as three persons - the Father, Son and, Holy Spirit.
     
  • We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who became a sinless man for the purpose of redeeming us from our sins; that He arose from the dead and is in Heaven today, interceding for the saints and preparing a glorious eternal home for them; and that He will return to take all believers to be with Him in Heaven for all eternity.
     
  • We believe that each individual is personally responsible for his own sin and stands guilty before a God that requires perfection. The atoning death of the Lord Jesus Christ is the only means by which we may attain salvation from the coming eternal conscious judgment and banishment from God's presence. This judgment, originally intended for Satan and his renegade angels, is reserved for those who reject God's gracious offer of salvation through faith.
     
  • We believe that all those who have been born again by personal faith in Jesus Christ are eternally secure as God's children, and can never lose their salvation. Those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ are born into the family of God; placed into His body - the Church universal. Those who are members of His body encouraged by God in the Scriptures to join themselves to a local church for their own edification and for service to the Lord, other believers, and the community.
How much does camp cost?
Kansas Bible Camp does not charge campers to attend. However, in the past we have spent about $130 per week per camper. People who donate more than the average help cover the expenses of people who donate less. Until the summer ends we do not know what the average is. However, all donations are spent for food, untilities, upkeep, and improvements of the camp facilities. We are not funded by a foundation or government grant.
What is the KBC financial policy?
Kansas Bible Camp has a financial policy of relying on the Lord's provision through His people to supply for all our needs. This allows us to present the gospel free of charge. Some people ask what a week of camp costs. Last year we received and spent $130 per camper per week. All donations are used exclusively for the camp and its program unless specifically designated for another use. Our staff, cooks, and counselors, having received God's invaluable gift of salvation, volunteer their time and labor in order that campers might hear the good news of God's love for them. Receipts for donations are available on request.
