Camp Vandemere

Camp Vandemere Nestled on the banks of the Bay River, Camp Vandemere is owned and operated by the Eastern Conference of Original Free Will Baptist. God is Good!!!

Founded in 1967, the original property consisted of 4.89 acres at a cost of $10,000.00. On November 22, 1987, a symbolic note burning was held during the camp dedication celebration service. During the first several years of operation, the campers were housed in tents. In 1974, the dorm rooms and the kitchen/dining hall, which served about 120 people, were completed! Hurricane Irene struck August

26-27, 2011, devastating the campground and facilities, and the community of Vandemere. In fact, much of eastern NC suffered destruction from the storm’s high winds, heavy rains, and huge storm surge which caused heavy flooding. Two weeks prior to the storm, the last week of Summer Camp had ended on Aug. 11th. Summer Camp Weeks continued in 2012 & 2013, but because the dorms were destroyed, camps had to be shortened to 3 nights. Because of individuals loaning their RV’s, and Home Missions of OFWB & NC Baptist Men loaning bunk units, we didn’t have to sleep in tents! NC Baptist Men also loaned their mobile kitchen, and meals were served outside unless it rained. Then meals were served in the Chapel which served as a multi-purpose building; Chapel, Lobby/Lounge area, Game Room, and Dining Room. Classes were held outside on the piers and other areas. We now have a total of 36 acres, on both sides of Third Street.

Dr. John Hill, Editor & CEO*Taken from Dr Hill's publication "Ministry & Meaning May 2026 issue." There is a question I believe every preacher eventually has to face: am I preaching the whole counsel of God, or am I editing the message to preserve my own approval?That question is uncomfortable, but....
