Get ready for a weekend of snowy adventures, cozy cabins, and unforgettable memories! Whether you're a returning BCC summer camper or looking to try overnight camp for the first time, Winter Connect is the perfect chance to reunite with friends, enjoy winter-only activities, and grow in your faith. Our college-aged summer staff will be back to lead the fun and weekend activities. Campers in grades 4–8 will stay in our Retreat Center cabins (each with in-cabin bathrooms), while grades 9–12 will experience the East Site Cabins, just a short walk from the Program Building's facilities. We can’t wait to see you this winter—let’s hope for snow!

It was a true gift to be together at Labor Day Family Camp— sharing laughter and enjoying meaningful time with family and as a community. Even with cooler temperatures, families embraced the fun with swimming, zip-lining, relaxing in the courtyard, and singing for all to hear. We’re so grateful for the moments we shared and the joy that filled camp all weekend long! To see how much fun everyone had, view the photos HERE.

Now, we’re looking ahead with excitement to the Spring Family Nature Retreat, happening March 20–22, 2026! Escape to BCC for a nature-filled weekend of adventure, relaxation, and quality time with loved ones.
