Our History

The Beginning

Midsummer Bible Camp (MSBC) is older than Camp Leatherwood. The first year of Midsummer Bible Camp was first held at Natchez Trace State Park for a single year in 1975. Following that year Midsummer Bible Camp came back a little closer to home. The camp was held at Montgomery Bell State Park from the mid-70s to 1985. In 1986 Midsummer Bible Camp was held in White Bluff at the newly established Camp Leatherwood on Westcott Road.

Camp Leatherwood was the dream of Mr. David Mosley. Mr. Mosley searched for a home for Midsummer Bible Camp and he found it and the building began. Camp Leatherwood was made possible by donations of land, time, lumber, and love. It truly came from humble beginnings with the future of Midsummer Bible Camp as the main focus.

Now Camp Leatherwood hosts an array of camps throughout the summer and various events in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. It seems Midsummer Bible Camp has found a home to be shared.
