Welcome to Camphor Mission
A storied past, dating back to 1948
The Camphor United Methodist School System was founded by indigenous leaders to ensure their voices were heard, at a time when opportunities were unevenly distributed. Named after a missionary, the school stands as a testament to the community’s resolve to shape its own narrative.
Nestled in Tubmanville, Grand Bassa County, the mission has been a cornerstone of education, healthcare and community development. Despite challenges such as funding and salaries, its dedication to nurturing the community remains steadfast.
