Meet Our 2026 Speaker

Roy Schneider and his family hail from Buckhannon, West Virginia, where his wife, Nikki, and he both attended college at West Virginia Wesleyan College. Roy received his Bachelor of Science degree from Wesleyan, studying both Exercise Science & Secondary Education. He was later presented with the opportunity to attend Seminary at Liberty University. While at Liberty, Roy received his Master of Arts in Christian Ministry with a focus on Discipleship, as well as a Master of Divinity in Christian Leadership. He is currently working on finishing a Doctorate of Ministry in Evangelism & Church Planting.

Roy currently serves as the Senior Pastor of the Refinery Church in Elkins, West Virginia. He has a heart for planting churches in rural America, specifically the Appalachian Mountain region. Alongside of his role as a church-planter, he currently serves an Army Reserve Chaplain with the 458th Combat Engineering Battalion in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. In his free time, Roy loves to hunt, camp, and play sports with his kiddos. He is also an avid reader and writer, and prays for GOD to use those two passions to inspire others.










How Can I Participate?

Individuals or Families wishing to participate in Family Camp must send in a completed Registration Form found below.

Family Camp begins with Dinner at 5:00 PM on Friday, July 3rd. Camp Closing is 1 PM on Saturday, July 11th. Visitors are welcome to join us for our evening services beginning each evening at 7 PM.



For children in 4th grade and under, there are morning devotions, Vacation Bible School, Sunday school classes, afternoon activities and after service activities.

Those in 5th -8th grade (middle school aged) and those 9th-through graduated seniors (high school aged) meet in their age appropriate groups to enjoy an in-depth morning Bible Study, morning and evening activities, and plenty of other happenings.  Both the middle school-aged and high school-aged groups have their own worker and meet in their own designated areas. Their classes may merge for group activities.

Adults can enjoy an early morning time of devotionals and praying, morning worship, and quite often there will be pickup games of volleyball and basketball between the adults in the afternoon. 

Everyone comes together in the evening to fellowship and worship at an evening service beginning at 7pm.  After the worship, children ages 4-9 are welcome to attend children’s church, where they can be picked up by their parents after the evening message.

Something is always happening at BlackHills Camp, whether it is playing a game of ricochet around the ping pong table, chatting with friends on the store porch, watching the teens and children playing games, eating one of the many fine meals served in the dining hall, attending a bonfire, or laughing at one of the many skits put on during skit night. We welcome you to join us. Please remember CAMPERS AGES 18 AND UNDER MUST HAVE A SUPERVISING ADULT (25 OR OLDER) ON THE CAMPGROUND AT ALL TIMES.

Finally, our camp fees are so affordable due to volunteers in the store, kitchen, bathroom, etc. Many hands make light work, and we all benefit from this service! We ask that each able-bodied, adult camper take a turn. If you will be staying at Family Camp and have a preference as to which tasks/slots you would like to help with, please sign-up for Work Assignments below.
