Ponca Bible Camp Open year around, Ponca Bible Camp is an excellent Christian camp and retreat facility for your church's Youth Conference, Kid's Camp, or Weekend Retreat. Built on 28 wooded acres, Ponca Bible Camp is located on Hwy 43 in Ponca, Arkansas; hidden on the hillside, yet easy to find. We are a short walk to swim in the Buffalo National River, just two miles down the road from viewing waterfalls or caving in Lost Valley, and just a few miles for hiking to picture perfect Hawksbill Crag. Our facilities include a large dining hall with a commercially equipped kitchen and a recreational room, for those rainy days. The deck on the dining hall overlooks our full-size basketball court, grass volleyball court and soccer field, which are back- dropped by the amazing Ozark Mountains. Ponca Bible Camp has the capacity to sleep 120 people in our 6, two-sided cabins and our 4 bedroom staff house. Our shower houses are centrally located and all buildings on our campground have central heating and air conditioning. Yet, we believe it is our unique open-air Chapel, you will appreciate the most!
