Central Iowa Bible Camp is nestled just three miles back in the woods north off I-80. It is just five miles from the town of Earlham and twenty miles from West Des Moines, Iowa. CIBC sits on 24 beautiful acres. The woods offer opportunities to see wildlife while hiking down the walking trail as well as an ideal opportunity to find some time for fellowship with Jesus. Since 1946, CIBC has been a haven for youth and adults alike to seek a closer relationship with Christ. Christian camping also offers opportunities to make new friends, enjoy great food, swimming, renewing old friendships and most of all study God’s Word. CIBC offers a variety of recreational activities that include: basketball, outdoor education, horseback riding, 9-hole Frisbee golf course, water slide, ping pong, carpetball, air hockey, foosball, shuffleboard, ball field, soccer, sand volleyball, zipline, climbing wall, and more.

Central Iowa Bible Camp was founded in 1946 by the Churches of Christ/Christian Churches of central Iowa in 1946. In 1955 seven acres of land north of Earlham Iowa was donated and the camp came to it’s present location in 1956. Over the years the camp has purchased more land to get up to our current 24 acres. In 1999 CIBC hired the first full-time Director and began to expand beyond several weeks of camp in the summer only. Currently we offer 11 programs during the summer as well as several camp sponsored retreats in the fall. The facilities are available to outside groups to rent in the spring and fall. There are currently no winterized buildings available for use. In recent years CIBC has begun to modernize many of our facilities, installing windows, insulation, and new bathrooms in many of our buildings. One of our goals is to be able to provide a location for year round retreats in the future.
