VALUES
We are guided by the Love of God and the example of Jesus as demonstrated to us in the Scriptures.

Campers and staff strive to live life by caring for others the way that they desire to be cared for.
Cameron Boys Camp was founded on April 13, 1980 in the rolling woodlands donated by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Read of Vass, NC. The first child came into care on December 2, 1980.
This year-round approach to specialized child care has proved effective since 1948. The original concept developed by Campbell Loughmiller at the Salesmanship Club Boys' Camp in Texas has since spread to other states and countries. These camps are part of the WRTCA, Wilderness Road Therapeutic Camping Association.
Baptist Children's Homes of North Carolina, under the leadership of Michael C. Blackwell, was the first to develop residential wilderness camping programs as an integral part of it's statewide child care program.
While 30 plus years has passed since Cameron Boys Camp received their first child into care, their program and methods have remained true to character, maintaining the foundations of camp throughout the years.
