Camp Pastor
Kyle Huntsinger
My name is Kyle Huntsinger. I am the Student Pastor at Chapin Baptist Church in Chapin, SC. I have a wonderful family with my wife Kaylie, my daughter Karsyn, and my son Karter. I graduated from Anderson University for my Bachelors Degree and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary for my Masters in Christian Ministry. I worked at CentriKid Camps as a 6th grade bible study leader in 2011 where I met my wife. 2012, 2013, and 2018 I was a Camp Pastor for locations in California, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, and North Carolina. I love preaching, listening to podcasts, and I am a diehard North Carolina Tar Heels fan.

about the campus
Gardner-Webb is placed in small town Boiling Springs, North Carolina. It is a quiet and clean campus that makes camp feel like the only thing going on in the world. This campus does provide a pool for campers. On check-in day, campers will be able to take a swim test to swim in the deep end.
in case of bad weather
We communicate with Group Leaders on-site when we know bad weather is coming, and our staff have plans in place whenever storms pop-up unexpectedly.
In case of inclement weather, we use the Voss Gym and other buildings on campus to keep campers safe while still being able to enjoy each activity at camp. Your Camp Director will keep you updated on everything you need to know when conditions like these arise at camp.

Austin Miller Band is a group based out of the Carolinas that formed in 2018. Known for their high energy, and passion, AMB constantly seeks to point others to Christ through their music and lives. Seeking to tear down the divide that seems to have been made between the stage and the seats, AMB can be found all over camp with students and their leaders. They want to get to know you, your story, and what God is doing in your life.
