 Welcome Guests!

Welcome to Friendly Benwood Community Christian Youth CampWelcome to the FBC Christian Youth Camp. We invite you to come visit our campground if you are looking for a location for your church retreat, summer youth camp, couple's retreat or any Christian based gathering. Our campground offers a quiet, rural, and wooded setting that is perfect for a quiet, private conversation with God or a spirited game of softball with a group of active teenagers.

While all of our planned buildings and facilities are not yet completed, we are open for a limited number of events and activities. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact us through our email or give our caretaker a call. God has truly blessed this campground through the planning and early construction phases. We would be pleased and blessed to share that blessing with you.
