Camp Nathanael operates and provides all of its ministries at little to no cost to the participant. See how you can join our team!

What is our Mission?

Scripture Memory Mountain Mission, on the campus of Camp Nathanael, hosts camps, retreats, conferences, rodeos, and more, all to point the people of Southeast Kentucky to Jesus throughout the year. We are a parachurch organization, meaning we work with churches to build up their members through the hosting of events, like men’s and women’s retreats, and providing a space to host events. Scripture Memory Mountain Mission has been operating since 1932, and we don’t plan on stopping.

What’s happening this year?
