75th ANNIVERSARY

We are celebrating 75 years of God’s faithfulness to Campus by the Sea! Since 1951, this sacred cove has been a place where God has made His presence known, and lives have been transformed. Through flood and fire, financial hardship, leadership loss, and a global pandemic, God has faithfully sustained this ministry.

Today, after 75 years, Campus by the Sea is thriving—continuing to serve college students, youth, adults, and families for His glory. We are deeply grateful for the countless men and women who, over the decades, have generously invested their time, talents, and resources to help grow God’s kingdom through this ministry.

Campus by the Sea has grown and evolved over the decades, but our mission has remained the same—to help people encounter Jesus. Our 75th Anniversary Photo Gallery offers a glimpse into the early camp experience, visually telling the story of camp life in the 1950s and 60s.

We would love to hear your story of how God met you at CBS. We are gathering staff and camper stories from every decade—whether heartfelt, humorous, or somewhere in between. Please click the button below to share your story with us.

Only for 2026, we are offering official 75th Anniversary designs available through our online Boat House store. Click “75TH MERCHANDISE.”
