Camp BCOC is one of the most meaningful things we do together in our children’s ministry all year! This retreat is totally focused on loving and encouraging our children. We bond over campfires and s’mores, hikes up the mountain, and a dance party. We grow spiritually through creative Bible lessons and kid-friendly worship experiences. Thirty eight children, sixteen adults, and two youth counselors will be kicking off the summer May 25-27.
Campers should have completed the medical release and emergency care information prior to camp. Thanks to many generous folks who have contributed to our scholarship fund this year. Your contributions have enabled five children to experience Jesus’ love through Camp BCOC.
