Camp Alkulana is collecting full-size deodorant, toothbrushes, and toothpaste to give to their campers this summer. Please bring your donations to the designated bins at the Mission Tables in the Upper and Lower Commons.
We are thrilled to pass along the news that, as of April 6, 2015, Camp Alkulana has been added to the National Register of Historic Places!
Our own Fred Anderson writes these beautiful words in the Foreword to the book Come Along, Join Our Song which was recently published to help celebrate Camp Alkulana’s 100th Anniversary: “Camp Alkulana, the retreat set in rural Bath County which has provided a summertime experience for inner-city Richmond youth, turns one-hundred, and holds up its magical presence for the thousands of ‘Bright Eyes’ who have played on its grounds, splashed in its stream, fellowshipped in the cabins with newly made friends and, along the way, learned some of life’s best lessons. Camp Alkulana is a success story – a uniquely American, distinctly Christian, proudly Baptist story with its primary focus upon influencing the lives of one city’s youth. It is more than a place. It is a feeling.”
