25.11 IRBC celebrates 75yr

Seventy-five years ago, 35 churches joined together, praying for â€œthe best land in the state of Iowa” where they could establish a Bible camp. God answered that prayer! They purchased 52 acres with 3,000 feet of frontage on the north shore of Clear Lake and established Iowa Regular Baptist Camp.

These churches had a God-sized vision: to reach the next generation and their world with the gospel of Jesus Christ through camping.

The summer of 2025 was our largest youth camp season ever—with more than 2,200 campers and counselors whose lives were impacted. Campers love gathering at IRBC with friends from across Iowa and surrounding states. Each summer, hundreds of decisions are made for salvation, direction, and other life-changing commitments. Our speakers and counselors faithfully use God’s Word to help campers take their next step.

What began as a summer youth camp meeting under a giant tent to hear God’s Word preached has grown into a vibrant, year-round ministry reaching thousands of youth and families each year.

God has used camp at IRBC in incredible ways—and we believe He has much more in store!

Stick with us in the coming weeks as we share how He is leading IRBC into the next chapter.

You won’t want to miss being part of it!
