Our History.

The “Christian Camper” week was held June 10th-15th at the White Mills Hotel. There were 37 people in attendance for our first ever session of camp.

White Mills Christian Assembly was formed in February and on March 23rd the White Mills Hotel property was purchased.

After paying off the original debt on the property, a boy’s dorm and girl’s dorm were built to house the increasing number of campers.

For the first time ever, more than 500 campers attend White Mills camp programs in a single summer.

The building being used for worship becomes unrepairable so the camp builds a permeant chapel for the property.

With the increasing growth of the camp, Chief Perkins is hired as the camp’s first ever year round camp manager. Chief served as camp manager from 1974-1983.

For the first time ever, more than 750 campers attend White Mills camp programs in a single summer.

With the increase of campers, the camp’s dining hall is expanded to a max capacity of 150 people.

Ron was hired in the fall of 1983 and went on to serve as camp manager until 2002. After retiring, Ron and his wife continued to serve the camp as its caretakers.

For the first time ever, more than 1,000 campers attend White Mills camp programs in a single summer.

For the first time ever, more than 1,250 campers attend White Mills camp programs in a single summer.

As camper numbers continue to grow, an additional dorm is added to the camp property.

Camper numbers continue to rise, so two additional dorms are added to eventually take place of the camp’s original dorms.

Ben was hired in the spring of 2005 to serve as the camp manager.

The camp begins a three phase building project to accommodate expanding its programs. This phase adds new offices, classrooms, meeting areas, and a gym.

The camp is the beneficiary of Mrs. Josephine Carter. These funds allowed the camp to retire the Phase 1 Retreat Center debt and build a brand new pool facility.

For the first time ever, more than 1,500 campers attend White Mills camp programs in a single summer.

A pair of 1,000 ft zip lines are added along the Nolin River adding a unique adventure element to the camp program.

An addition is added to the Retreat Center that includes a new kitchen and dining room facility with seating for 300 people. The debt is paid off only a month after opening.
