Looking Foreward

In the years since Rockfish Camp and Retreat Center has been established, many things have changed, however one has remained the same; Camp Rockfish is a place where the Lord is alive. From the moment you walk onto campus, you not only see the buildings, playgrounds, and high adventure area, but you also sense the genuine presence of God ready to encourage, comfort, and strengthen those who are receptive.

We believe the projects listed below will not only help us continue to grow as the go-to retreat and conference center in our area, but most importantly further our mission of helping people experience, grow in, and share the love of God through Jesus Christ. God's leading and your faithfulness are what will make these dreams a reality.
