For we are labourers together with God:
ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building (1 Cor 3:9).

EASTERN CARIBBEAN BIBLE CAMP - BARBADOS
Eastern Caribbean Bible Camp was started in 1968. In those early years several schools had to be rented for this purpose.
The plantation house located in Ruby, St. Philip was acquired in 1975 to be the permanent camp site under the direction of our late brother Lionel T. Mayhew who, along with brother Clyde Hunte, pioneered the young people's work in Barbados.
The many rooms of the upper floor serve quite adequately as female dormitories and two bathrooms. The lower level also houses three female dormitories along with toilet and shower facilities. On the same level is the dining area which seats approximately one hundred. It also houses the wash-up and serving area and the kitchen.
Across the way is the building which houses the male dormitories downstairs and the chapel upstairs.

The Siloam Bible Camp has been recently refurbished. It is nestled in the forested area close to the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
Guyana is often referred to as the “land of many waters,” because of its numerous rivers and their countless tributaries as well as the many picturesque lakes. It lies on the north- eastern shoulder of South America. As the only English speaking country on this continent, it shares borders with Venezuela to the west, Brazil to the south and south-west and Suriname to the East. To the north it is washed by the Atlantic Ocean.
Covering an area of 215,000 km2 it comprises of thousands of hectares of pristine rainforest, rolling grasslands and countless species of birds, fish, other animals and plants. With towering mountains and majestic awe-inspiring waterfalls, Guyana lays claim to the third longest river in the world, the mighty Essequibo, which boasts an island for every day of the year (365).
The climate in Guyana is warm but pleasant for most of the year, relieved by the sea breezes on the coast. Lightweight clothes can be worn all year round.
With a multi-ethnic population and a culture that bespeaks the input of each group, this magnificent country would provide an unforgettable experience to all who would venture within its boundaries.
