Did you know that over the course of September and October, over 750 retreat guests, hosted groups, environmental education field trip students, day hikers, and trail runners! enjoyed time at Bear Creek Camp? 

While summer camp is usually front of mind when thinking of BCC, the many other ways that folks experience our 3,000 acres and build the camp community are truly on display in the Fall season. The joy of experiencing the changing weather and colors on the trees, our opportunities to serve so many guests in different ways, and the time and space to reflect on the past year and build towards what's coming next; these are all reminders to me of the gratitude that I have for each of the many ways that Bear Creek Camp and our community make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and in our communities and congregations throughout the whole year. Thank you for being a part of our multi-dimensional Bear Creek Camp community!

As you'll see below, we have a lot of exciting opportunities for all ages to participate with BCC in the coming months - including saving the date for our next Through the Woods Trail Run in Fall 2026! We can't wait for the next time we'll see you here at the end of the red dirt road!

Fall Women's Retreat 2025 weekend gave our attendees the chance to rest and relax in the beauty of God's creation, surrounded by crisp air, sunshine, and peaceful scenery. From bingo and high ropes to kayaking, art projects, yoga, and hiking—there was something for everyone. The weather was absolutely perfect, encouraging everyone to get outside, explore, and embrace the time away. It was a truly meaningful weekend filled with laughter, reflection, and community.  If you were unable to attend or want to do it again, save the date for our upcoming Spring Women's Retreat on April 10-12, 2026.  
Our Through the Woods 5K was such a fun and energizing event that we’ve already set the date for next year and will be adding a 10k route! The sense of community was incredible, with runners, walkers, hikers, and spectators all coming together to enjoy nature and the trails. From start to finish, the course was filled with laughter, encouragement, and connection. We’re so grateful to everyone who made it a success—and we can’t wait to do it again!
