OCEAN VIEW BIBLE CAMP - JAMAICA

Oceanview Bible Camp (OVBC) is located in Southfield in the parish of St. Elizabeth which is on the south coast around the mid-west of the island.  The bible camp, which was started in the summer of 1965, is sited on 13 ½ acres of farm land on a plateau overlooking the Caribbean sea. The climate in this part of Jamaica is moderate with not much rain.

The main building houses the girls’ dormitories, with capacity of 104.  This building also houses the kitchen/dining room, a covered recreation area, tuck shop and book room. Adjacent to the main building are two dormitories for the boys with a capacity of 48. There are other nearby buildings housing about 20 staff rooms, a nurse’s cottage with three rooms and a sick bay. The facility also includes a manager’s residence and a swimming pool.

The camp is utilized by us several times during the year for summer camps, weekend youth camps, our national conference, retreats etc. It is also rented to fundamental Christian groups when available.
