Solid Rock Bible Camp

What Solid Rock Bible Camp does

Solid Rock Bible Camp is a not-for-profit, interdenominational Christian youth camp and conference center operating on nearly 200 acres surrounding Miracle Lake in Soldotna, Alaska. The organization traces its roots to the 1952 Kenai Peninsula Fellowship, ran its first camp sessions in 1958, and was incorporated as Solid Rock Ministries, Inc. in 1964 (federal tax ID 92-0056492). It serves youth, families, and retreat groups through structured summer programming and year-round facility use.

The camp's core product is a portfolio of summer overnight camp sessions — eight weekly sessions across the summer — delivered through distinct program tracks including Lakeside, Wagon Train, Wilderness, Sports, Forest Course, and Work Crew/WIT (Wilderness In Training). Specialized offerings include a Developmentally Disabled Camp (scholarshipped), a Teen EQcel leadership program, and a homeschool Forest Course track. Pricing spans $135 for day camps to $549 for premium specialized programs. Registration runs on the Campwise platform, and the camp is a member of the Christian Camp and Conference Association (CCCA). Distribution is concentrated in Southcentral Alaska, supported by scheduled bus service from Anchorage to the Soldotna campus.

The business model is a multi-revenue nonprofit: per-camper registration fees, equipment and facility rentals for retreats, school programs, and corporate groups, and donations. The organization is staffed by 11–50 employees and maintains a light digital footprint on Instagram and Facebook. There are no disclosed financials, no M&A activity, and no AI/ML capabilities evident in the operating stack.
