Victory

To give you all a brief idea about Victory, here is the "about us" part from Victory's website:

More than 50 years ago, in 1941, a few missionaries met together and discussed the benefits of meeting yearly for a time of spiritual refreshment. An extensive prayer list pinpointed the requirements for a camp and conference site, including such priorities as a high lake, good water supply and accessibility to a main road. Each of these items was found at a site by Index Lake, near the Matanuska Glacier.

Alaska was then a Territory, so it was necessary for bills to be introduced in the U.S. Congress to make the purchase of the first 80 acres possible. The camp was named Victory Bible Camp and now has facilities for more than 300 people, located on 389 acres in this beautiful valley.

Victory Bible Camps and Conference Center, located 95 miles northeast of Anchorage, in the Talkeetna Mountains, ministers mainly to the urban population of Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley (Palmer and Wasilla). Frequently though, campers come from the lower 48 states, Canada, and Russia. There are camping programs year-round and include: family camps, missionary conferences, weekend retreats, public school programs and summer camps for all ages.
