Camp Billy Gibbons
Improvements 2013-2018

Over the past five years a lot of progress has been made in upgrading and repairing the facilities at Camp Billy Gibbons.  It has been estimated that over $300,000 has been raised and spent on various projects in the camp including electrical, sewage, water system, and buildings.  Here are a few photos as the camp looks in 2018 as they prepare for the summer camp season.  More projects are in the works including a climbing tower with zip lines, a fishing dock, metal storage containers.
