Each summer, BMH hosts over 125 Bahamian youth for the BCMC’s Summer Youth Camp. The month of July at Camp Symonette is full of excitement, laughter, Bible studies, games, prayer, dancing, talent shows, discernment, worship and God’s love.

Since 1976 the BCMC has hosted Summer Youth Camp to help prepare their children and youth for a life full of sharing Christ’s Love. Marie Neilly and Clint Higgs are Camp Co-Director’s and do an amazing job by pulling everything together. Please contact us if you are interested in being a Camp Counselor.

Medical Clinics

Posted by bmh on January 31st, 2009 under Camp Symonette News  •  No Comments

We have had three medical teams come to Eleuthera to volunteer their services. They each worked beautifully with our partnerships with local medical staff. However, we are focusing our efforts on dentistry right now but please contact us if you are interested in donating your time or services to the Bahamas with your medical experience. There are strict guidelines that you must follow to be approved to practice in the Bahamas but we have good relations with the medical community and will assist in any way needed.

There is a major need for a Mammogram machine on the island of Eleuthera. If you, or anyone you know, has information on a donation please contact us as soon as possible.
