P i n e Bap t i s t C amp , plus Sierra Lutheran, Hartland Mennonite and Quaker Meadows Camp in the foot hills, to name but a few. Entering Southern California you’ll find the largest concentration of church and youth camps in America including Forest Home Christian Conference Center, Christian Endeavor’s Tahquitz Pines, Alpine Covenant Grounds, Ar- rowpines, Idyllwild Pines, Camp Maranatha, Free Methodist’s Oak Glen Pines, not to forget Pine Valley Conference Association and Palomar Mountain Baptist Camp close to the Mexican border. And there are still others! If you want to follow U.S. 66 east there’s the Southwest Bible and Mis sionary Conference at Flagstaff, Ari zona, adjacent to the Grand Canyon; a bit south lies Prescott Pines Baptist Camp. Northeast of Albuquerque, dis cover the broad acres of Glorieta Southern Baptist Assembly. Or follow U.S. 85 North into Colorado and you strike pay dirt again in fine church and inter-church camps that have staked a claim on beauty in that vast mountain area and are active in the evangelical field. These include Star, Frontier, Deer Valley and Silver Cliff Ranches for youth and adults. It is impossible to give a compre hensive report but you would not want to miss Clydehurst Christian Ranch out of Billings, Montana, Camp Barakel at Fairview, Michigan, Camp Peniel adjacent to Houston or the Sky Ranches, not too far from Dallas, Texas. There are scores of Camp Cher- iths under Pioneer Girls’ careful super vision or the brother camps operated by Christian Service Brigade includ ing their newest 1800 leadership camp near Cedarville, Michigan. Watch next month’s King’s Busi ness for more Christian camps to visit or write the Camp and Conference Department, King’s Business, for addi tional information.
Highlight of many Christian camps is centered around the campfire. At the close of the day filled with happy friendships, recreation, and quiet study of God's Word a high school and adult group such as pictured at Prescott Pines Baptist Camp (Arizona) join in singing and sharing testimonies.

Campus-By-the-Sea is well named as one can observe a group representing several universities and colleges meeting for intensive Bible study close to the blue Pacific on Santa Catalina Island, 25 miles off the coast of Southern California. This is one of Inter-Varsity's summer leadership training camps far building campus Christian leaders.
