Rock River Bible Camp is a camping facility located east of Dixon off Illinois Route 2, easily reached from Rockford, Freeport, Chicago and Illinois-Iowa Quad Cities. Our facilities are perfect for hosting week long or weekend Retreats for churches, Christian schools and ministry organizations with the ability to plan and staff your own program! We also host our own series of week long camps for students in first grade through high school seniors. Rates are low for overnight or day use, with additional discounts available. Rustic cabin accommodations- each sleeping ten, with separate restroom and shower facilities, for up to 100 guests! Two cabins are complete with heat and shower facility. Our dining hall is equipped with plenty of tables and a wood burning fireplace that serves as a central meeting or activity room. A recently renovated kitchen is also available for your own camp cooking. Our cedar Chapel, overlooking the Rock River, is available for worship or teaching and our full-size gymnasium for basketball, volleyball and other indoor group activities is located at the top of the hill! A picnic shelter/pavilion is nestled on the river bank, which provides an additional gathering place, with nearby fire pit. With wooded trails for outdoor recreation and education and the Rock River available for boating, canoeing and fishing, you won't be able to get enough of the outdoors!

This month we want to say thank you to this group of people - our representatives!
What's a representative? They come from our member churches and hold a position on the board to speak and vote for their church. After our board meetings they report to their church on any pertinent information like financial needs, project updates, camp numbers etc.
We are so grateful for their dedication to camp and their churches!
Remember if you have any camp questions or concerns you can always share them with one of these smiling faces!

Popping in with another reminder about registrations -
Please fill out all registration information.
This helps our staff not only get your camper in a cabin with other campers around their age (and even their friends when we are able) but also helps us best know how to care for your child to the best of our abilities.

As we approach our busiest time of the year with all kinds of work happening at camp and our grounds soon filling up with campers we want to remind everyone that we are volunteer run.
We will do our best for your kids and we ask that everyone show that same kindness when interacting with our staff and each other at camp or online.
We know we have been given unconditional, unending love from the Father. May we show that same kind of love, grace, and mercy to one another.
