Central Bible Leadership Institute offers a place to Salvation Army people engaged in mission to rest, enjoy fellowship, and experience growth.

Since 1944 Salvation Army soldiers and officers have come to CBLI for meaningful and satisfying teaching, worship, fellowship, recreation, and personal refreshment at Wonderland Camp and Conference Center located in southern Wisconsin. CBLI’s purpose is to nurture and prepare Salvation Army people to serve the world through the Army’s mission to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and meet human needs in his name without discrimination.

Families with children and individual adults, young adults, and teens enjoy a wide range of activities led by a team of Salvation Army leaders and guests selected from throughout North America. The Program Services section of Territorial Headquarters plans age specific adult, young adult, teen, and children tracks for Bible study, leadership training, and worship. At CBLI there are also many opportunities for all campers regardless of age to share in meals, recreation, fellowship, worship, and fun.

What happens each day at CBLI?

Wonderland Camp and Conference Center located in southern Wisconsin again becomes the setting for CBLI campers to receive personal refreshment and opportunity to strengthen their  ability to serve in the Salvation Army.   CBLI 2013 dates will be July 27 through August 4.

Throughout the afternoon campers will enjoy fellowship, recreation, and leisure.  Each day at CBLI draws to a close with evening programs featuring guests, performances, and presentations to inspire and challenge.  After evening programs teens and young adults regularly gather for additional events, often late into the night!

An affordable and rewarding time

Someone said that CBLI is vacation with a purpose.  CBLI is also affordable.  The cost of accommodations, meals, child care, and most program material are included in the camper registration fee.  Some corps and divisions offer scholarships to help with registration fees.
