Canyonview Camp and Equestrian Center began in 1953 as Bible Teaching Inc., founded by Ernie and Fern Campbell. With a vision to share the Gospel, they started with 64 acres of land, expanding their ministry to include radio broadcasting, a Bible college, a printing press, an Equestrian College, and a Christian camp. Through it all, our core commitment has remained the same: "Speaking the Truth in Love."
