Kokrine Hills Bible Camp is a ministry of the non-profit Alaska native organization, Koyukon Camp Ministries, Inc. The camp is located in the interior of Alaska, about 350 miles north of Anchorage and 225 miles west of Fairbanks on the Yukon River. The only way to get to the camp is by boat or floatplane. The camp is 55 miles upriver (east) of Ruby, and 65 miles downriver (west) of Tanana.
The camp was started in 1965 by Arctic Missions missionaries, Russ and Freda Arnold, when they were living in Ruby. Today, Roger Huntington, an Athabaskan Indian, is president of Koyukon Camp Ministries. In June & July, 30 to 70 campers come each week from up to a dozen Koyukon Indian and Inupiat Eskimo villages. Discipleship camps, work weeks, pastors conferences and marriage retreats round out the summer calendar. Our goal is to one day make KHBC usable year-round. .
Roger and Carole Huntington
Roger (Athabascan Indian), and Carole (Inupiaq Eskimo) Huntington are uniquely qualified to minister throughout Alaska's remote villages. Roger grew up hunting, fishing, and trapping in the Koyukon region of interior Alaska. After graduating from Mt. Edgecomb High School, Roger entered the military and attended college. A businessman and public servant for more than 20 years, Roger has served on numerous corporation and statewide boards. His journey with Jesus Christ began shortly before a 1988 airplane crash, which left him with severe burns. The accident changed not just his appearance but his purpose for living. The Huntingtons have dedicated their lives to seeing native young people and families unconditionally commit their lives to Jesus Christ. Carole's public service on the state school board combined with their corporate and private business experience has opened doors of opportunity throughout the state. The Lord has allowed Huntingtons to help many victims of abuse and strengthen many struggling marriages through personal discipleship, seminars and counseling. Aside from ministering alongside her husband, Carole's greatest joy is "grandmothering" her nine grandchildren. Click here for more information on Huntington's ministry.
