Camp Lee began as Camp Zinn, a Boy Scout camp established in 1931 and operated by the Choccolocco Council until 1965. Following the Scouts’ relocation to a new site, the property became available for sale. On August 11, 1966, Anniston First United Methodist Church accepted a gift of 1,000 shares of Lee Brass common stock from Mr. Arthur H. Lee, which the church then sold to purchase the property. Mr. Lee’s generosity and visionary leadership laid the foundation for what would become Camp Lee—a ministry dedicated to Christian formation, outdoor adventure, and community building. Since that time, the camp has grown to 382 acres with expanded facilities including multiple lakes, lodges, cabins, and a range of recreational amenities.
