Camp Symonette is located on the backside of the quaint but wonderful settlement of James Cistern, on the island of Eleuthera. It was built Sir Roland Symonette, first Premiere of the Bahamas, as a Summer Camp for Bahamian youth in 1978. It has grown and evolved into the home base for Bahamas Methodist Habitat throughout the year and still hosts the Bahamas Conference of the Methodist’s Church Summer Youth Camp.
