Camp Alkulana is a camp and retreat facility which has been in continuous operation since it began in 1915. The kerosene lanterns which shone from the windows of the first cottage appeared as bright eyes shining through the forest. Thus the Indian word “alkulana” meaning “bright eyes” became the official camp name. Camp Alkulana is a year round ministry of the Richmond Baptist Association with a targeted summer ministry to low income and at-risk children and youth of Central Virginia. Primary service is to churches within the Richmond Baptist Association but other groups are welcome when time and space allow.
