About us

The Camp is a place where The Glorious Gospel Message is shared with those who come for a holiday, conference, seminar, and where they receive Christian love, hospitality and care.

The camp is located at the feet of Harghita Mountains on 24 acres surrounded by beautiful pine forests. It accommodates up to 100 guests in Winter and 160 guests during the Summer season. The camp is fully equipped with every modern convenience (delicious food, cold and hot water, electricity, phone, etc.). Arrangements for making an Internet-café are in progress.

As a Christian organization, besides physical relaxation and refreshment we also aim to provide an opportunity for our campers to learn about Biblical truths.

We believe that it is our God-given responsibility to protect and preserve the environment we live in together with those who come to enjoy it. Therefore on camp grounds it is strictly forbidden to smoke. The use of alcoholic beverages and drugs is not permitted. Destroying trees, plants, animals, and other antisocial or unethical behaviour is also against camp rules. All camp guests are kindly requested and expected to abide by these guidelines.

Shortly after the Events of 1989 we felt the need for a place where our children and teenagers can camp in Christian surroundings. After fervent prayers and a great amount of searching, in the fall of 1990 we bought a piece of property of 2,5 acres in the Harghita Mountains near the village of Vlahita. The idea of purchasing a property and building a camp came from Jozsef Both, pastor of the Baptist Church in Odorheiu Secuiesc.

God blessed this initiative and with the voluntary help of our brothers and sisters from within our country and the financial support of our brothers and sisters from abroad on July 20, 1991we held the Opening Ceremony of the Camp.

It was a modest begging but we are very thankful for it. We had the property with four wooden houses on it. There was no electricity, no water, nothing that would serve the comfort of the campers. Our bathroom was the creek in the valley and our light came from the sun until it shined.

In the fall of the same year we started building the first building with sanitary facilities that later became the David House named after Rev. David Raybould, pastor of Kingswinford Church in England whose widow gave the last amount needed for the completion of this building.

In the meantime with the help of Ms. Margaret Robinson, director of Mission to Europe (England) we bought other pieces of land. Today the camp owns over 24 acres of land.

Later water (1993), the electricity (1994), the telephone line (1995) and gas (1997) were also installed. All this was the result of fervent prayer, hard work and the financial support of our brothers and sisters from abroad. All glory belongs to God above all.

In 1997 we finished another building donated by BBC Pebblemill Birmingham, England to serve as the home for the caretakers. In the spring of 1998 we started the construction of the Barnabas House that was completed in 11 months. This house was built by European standards for disabled people.

Even before finishing the Barnabas House we already started the construction of the greatest investment of all, the Chapel. This is a multifunctional building with a conference room accommodating 350 people, and 5 smaller rooms for small group meetings and seminars. The construction took 2 years, from June 1999 to May 2001 and was financed through Dr. Ken Swenson pastor of Baptist Church of North Andover, Massachusetts, USA by different America Baptist Churches and the Association of American Baptist Women of Indiana.

Parallel with this project the sports field was completed for the joy of all campers, and a playground was also built by the Kingswinford church from England.

In the spring of 2002 we started building the staff residence and put roof on it before the first snowfall.

There have been times when the camp had water supply shortage because the spring that supplied the water was not able to satisfy the increased needs any more, so we drilled 119 meters down into the ground where we found good quality drinking water.

The following year, in 2003 the construction of the Old People's Home started also and run parallel with the other construction project. Mission to Europe also financed this project. The building is under a roof now, and the staff residence is getting close to being completed.

Thousands of children and young people, adults and elderly, healthy and sick people, families and orphans enjoyed the blessings and benefits of this facility. Every year we facilitate camps for groups with special needs (orphans, poor, handicaps) who wouldn't be able to pay even their travel fees. Their expenses are covered by different organizations such as Mission Transylvania , Mission to Europe, The Cleaford Christian Trust, Barnabas Foundation Romania and many others.

In the last decade we experienced God's provision, protection and help many times in miraculous ways.

SOLI DEO GLORIA! ALL GLORY TO GOD!
