Who We Are
Our Mission
For over 50 years, Good Shepherd Bible Camp (GSBC), has been providing the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and Christian fellowship to kids from 4th to 10th grade. It’s a full week (6 nights/days) of fun in the California mountains during July. You’ll experience the chance to have fun with old friends and make plenty of new ones while you apply God’s word to your life.
Spend the week growing in your faith, while you also play countless games, eat amazing food, swim, canoe, become the perfect archer, sing exuberantly around a campfire, play basketball/volleyball and anything else involving a ball, run around in the infamous “gaga” pit, build forts, unleash your creative side in some arts and crafts, and of course explore God’s beautiful creation through a little hiking.
