The following nine men were chosen by their associations to serve on the first board of the camp. William Atkinson, William Baird. James Pittman, E. A. Riggs, Raphael Yerby, L. C. Steedley, Billy Sharpston, Woodrow Matthews, and James Walden. The name was changed to Northwest Alabama Free Will Baptist Youth Camp January 8, 1975. The camp is located on an approximate 20 acre plot two miles west of the Yampertown Community on Marion County Highway 3. The first buildings were dedicated March 11, 1976. The camp at that time consisted of three buildings, a boys’ dormitory and a girls’ dorm, both sized at 40 X 100 feet. Each building will hold 50 “double” bunks sleeping a total of 100 persons per dorm. The third building is the kitchen-dining hall, which is 50 X 100 feet. This building, after dedication, was formally named the Howard Franks Hall, in honor of one of the men who worked to make the camp a reality. Howard Franks was a deacon at the Mt. Olive Free Will Baptist Church where Woodrow Matthew was pastor at that time. The name was changed to Trinity Free Will Baptist Camp, Inc. February 20. 1989. Each of the three associations held both a Junior and a Teen week of camp until 1996. In August 1995 Rev. Rick Cash became the first full-time camp administrator. In September of 2000 Rev. Ashley Culp became the camp administrator.
