Canyonview Camp and Ministries was founded in 1953 as Bible Teaching Inc. by Ernie and Fern Campbell. Starting with 64 acres of land, their dream was to start a ministry that would allow people of all ages to hear the truth of the Gospel. Ministries included radio broadcasting, a Bible college, a printing press, and finally a Christian camp. With each of these ministries, Canyonview's emphasis has been and always will be
“Speaking the Truth in Love."
Vision
Canyonview will continue as a trusted partner in the evangelical community to bring hope and healing to a hurting world through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Mission
With a biblical foundation, Canyonview provides a safe outdoor environment, spiritually vibrant programs, and practical leadership training to impact youth, adults, and families in the local community and beyond.

Day camps provide local churches with full programs for elementary school children as well as skilled, caring counselors, nutritious snacks, Bible times, songs, and an entertaining evening for families.Youth camps promote the knowledge of God through His creation, hands-on activities, Bible instruction, and loving counselors.
Canyonview Equestrian College transforms a God-given love for horses into a broad base of equine knowledge and skill with a focus on Christian ministry.
Horsemanship camps and weekly riding lessons and provide hands-on experience with horses through grooming and riding, integrated with the principles of God's Word.
