Things to KnowWHY IS THERE A CAMP? While no two weeks of camp are exactly alike, the emphasis of every week at Short Mountain Bible Camp is the spiritual, physical, social, and emotional development of young people. For a week, Short Mountain provides an escape from the pressures and temptations faced by young people in the "real world". Short Mountain is a place unlike any other, providing young people a place of Christian fellowship and a chance to hone their leadership skills. WHERE IS THE CAMP AND WHAT DOES IT OFFER?
