Welcome to LGYRC’s website! We are a Chugach Baptist Association affiliate located in beautiful Wasilla, Alaska, an hour’s drive north of Anchorage. Our main goal at LaVerne Griffin is to see lives changed and souls saved through Jesus Christ! The camp ministry continues to provide fun-filled camps and retreats for youth and adults alike. LaVerne Griffin is a ministry that seeks to glorify God through Christian camping and hosting. Whether you join us for a day, a weekend, or a week, it is our desire that you have a God-renewing, God-moving experience while at camp.

LGYRC is located on a 58-acre site bordering beautiful Lake Kalmbach approximately 7 miles off the Parks Highway. The rolling terrain, along with large spruce trees and a beautiful view across the lake, make LaVerne Griffin Youth Recreation Camp a beautiful place to have fun with friends and loved ones while leaving behind daily business that can take over our lives. Come and experience God's presence at LaVerne Griffin!

We offer 12 heated cabins with 84 spaces available for use in the winter and 150 spaces available in the summer. Also available are a bathhouse, a kitchen with dining facilities, two conference rooms, and a game room, all of which are winterized for year-round use. Summertime campers may also use the six rustic summer cabins with a capacity of 24 beds encircling a picnic area with grill and electricity. There are also RV spots with and without hook-ups and a dump station.
