Camp Board

Pastor Mike and Laura Kimball

Camp Administrators

Pastor Mike & Laura Kimball have been camp administrators since November 16, 2020. Before this, they both volunteered at the camp in many capacities for 27 years. They have three married children and eight grandchildren. From time to time, you may hear many adults call us mom and dad, and many more kids call us their grandparents. We have taken many in and have called them our own over our almost 39 years of marriage.
