In
1970 representatives of the Nebraska Association of Regular Baptist Churches
began search with prayer for a site on which to launch a new camping ministry in
the state. After an extensive search, these pastors and laymen who comprised
the Council of Six located land along Highway 22 between the towns of Genoa and
Fullerton. Arrangements were made to buy it, and the final signatures were
placed on the purchase agreement in October of 1971.
Whispering Cedars Baptist Camp has been growing ever since. Tents were used the
first year, but now the campground has a full-sized chapel, 11 cabins for
campers, a basketball/volleyball court, ball fields, sand volleyball court,
staff cabins, a director’s house, two maintenance shops, and hiking trails
through the woods. The camp has the capacity for 146 campers.
