Business Review
Bancroft Bible Camp has been a huge blessing in my life! I attended my first retreat at age 4 and didn't want to leave. I never missed a retreat or summer camp after that. It always felt like home away from home. They focused on Biblical teachings and incorporated the lessons into all the activities. We always enjoyed memorizing scripture and growing closer to the Lord. During my teen years I looked forward to spending my summers there as Jr Staff and counselor. The staff and counselors were, and are, very caring! Now my kids love going to camp. They can't wait for summer to get here! My kids don't have a favorite part because they love it all, but Uncle Jeff's cooking is at the top of the list! Especially his biscuits and gravy! ~Sarah Wooten
Bancroft Bible Camp has been a tremendous blessing in my life! I spent many summers there as a child and teen. The scriptures we learned, the lessons we had and the Godly examples in the counselors help to lay a Christian foundation in my life. My daughter now attends and I see how she is also being blessed. We are so thankful for the staff and all the positive experiences that myself, husband, daughter and even my mother have had through Bancroft Bible Camp.

Bancroft Bible Camp is very special to our family. It is where my oldest child found Christ at 6 years old. I was nervous about sending him to camp there. I had never been and didn't know the staff well. However, we knew someone helping out at the time who told me we wouldn't regret it. We definitely have not! A week at Bancroft is at the center of Austin's summer plans every year now. This will be his last year at Junior Camp. He is excited about exploring the idea of Jr Staff in the future.
