65th Anniversary Celebration
October 17-18, 2025
In October 1960 Virginia Baptists voted to purchase the property at Camp Piankatank to be the state RA camp. God has sustained and prospered this ministry for 65 years through many changes. This is something to celebrate and an opportunity to bring together all those who love this place to envision the next 65 years and beyond.
Join Piankatank-lovers of all ages for a weekend of fun or just come for the celebration dinner on October 17.
