Pleasant Valley Bible Camp
About PVBC: We are open all year!
Promoting the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and promoting a healthful
recreational program in a Christian atmosphere.
Who We Are!
PVBC began as a recreation facility for a local church
AWANA Club program. Very soon people began
asking if they could bring youth groups to the camp
for retreats. After several years of winter camping, a
summer camp ministry began. The camp has been
incorporated and is now governed by a board of
directors. The camp program as well as the facilities
have been developed by adherence to the motto "We
walk by faith".
What We're About!
We teach the principles of the Word of God both by word and by
example. We teach and preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ through selected counselors, speakers and staff. We
promote, maintain, and defend the principles and faith of
evangelical Christianity. We provide a healthful and recreational
program in a Christian atmosphere.
Where We're Located!
PVBC is nestled in a beautiful valley adjacent to the Jordan River
area of northern Michigan. We are centrally located between the
villages of Central Lake, Bellaire and East Jordan. It is
approximately forty-five miles north east of Traverse City. We are
situated on eighty-five acres with frontage on an inland lake. You
can reach us from either M-66 to the east, or US-31 to the west.
Contact us and we will be happy to answer any questions about
your camping needs!
What We Offer!
PVBC is licensed for 194 campers in the summer time. We have a
heated, enclosed, in-ground swimming pool with changing rooms and
showers. The pool has become a part of winter retreats as well as a
most popular spot in the summer. A gymnasium with "rec" room
enhances summer rainy days as well as all year recreation. We have
a large rustic dining hall overlooking a peaceful pond. Summer
services are held in a lovely hillside chapel. Services in the fall and
winter are held in our new indoor chapel. Four cabins and Frontier
Town are the summer housing for the boys. A large A-Frame dorm, a
mid-sized cabin and two "doll" houses accommodate the girls.
Recreational activities include dune carts, miniature golf, Bible Land,
archery, bowling, 9-hole par 3 golf course, as well as all of the various
ball games. You can boat and fish at the lake or you can visit the four
shops that make up the Pleasant Valley Mall. During the winter season
you will find activities such as boot hockey, ice skating, tubing,
cross-country skiing, bowling or snack shop. It is all here for you to
enjoy as you lean the truths of God's Word from very special speakers.
