Since its inception, Camp Reveal has been a place of rest and relaxation. Dr.
Ernest “Pappy” Reveal, founder of the Evansville Rescue Mission, literally
prayed it into existence. In 1925, Pappy Reveal saw a need for a camp where
hundreds of mothers and children could go to get away from the worries of
the world, be fed and most of all be taught the principles of Christian living
and receive the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
In 1927, the dream became a reality when the Mission purchased land north
of Evansville to establish Camp Reveal. The land was purchased for $1.00 an
acre, and included a large old house and two barns on 107 acres of land. The
barns would later become the Tabernacle and boy’s dorm. During Pappy’s life,
the camp remained a place used exclusively by mothers and their children for
Mission programs.
After Pappy’s death in 1959, mothers no longer felt the need of the services
that Camp Reveal provided considering there was a greater need for more
diverse social service programs. After a brief period when the camp was not
used, Mission directors decided to make two major changes in programming
that still exist to this day.
First, the target group for services changed to serve children from low income
families. Children, ages 8-13, from throughout the Tri-State, were given the
opportunity to spend one of four free weeks at Camp Reveal, playing and
swimming but most of all hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Secondly, the
camp was renovated and marketed to attract church & business groups as
well as families, to hold summer camps, retreats and
other activities on the campgrounds, thereby providing additional income to
support our free Summer Camp program for children whose families live at or
below the federal poverty line.
This year Camp Reveal has once again undergone some major renovations and
changes. Our Conference Room, renamed the Rick and Julie Alvis Conference
Center, was completely remodeled given it the fresh, updated look it has
today. All new bunk beds, flooring and upgrades throughout the lodges,
changing to meet the needs of those we serve.
