April Newsletter
"I'm excited that we have nothing do to this week" said almost no family in the month of April. Between school commitments, extracurriculars, vacations, church events, and finding moments to embrace warmer weather and the coming of Spring, it's amazing how much can be crammed into such a short period of time.

We're grateful for everyone that makes space for Bear Creek Camp this time of year. Between the Gala, strategic planning, May Play Day, summer camp registration, spring retreat groups, board meetings, volunteer work days, donors, and everyone out there sharing the story of the importance of camp, there are a lot of people contributing to our work together in this busy season of preparation.

It's wonderful to be able to take this moment to be able to say once again, thank you. Thank you for your part in this incredible community making a positive impact in the world through life-changing opportunities here at camp.

There's Still Time to Register for Summer Camp
We're thrilled that over 550 campers have already registered for this summer with just over two months until the start of Session One!

Many sessions and age groups are filling quickly, so we encourage you to register soon. You don't want to miss out on your opportunity for the best week of your summer!
We Have a New Website!
With a goal of streamlining how we share information about all that's happening at BCC and updating our look to best showcase who we are for today and into the future, we're excited to be launching our new website!

This project couldn't have happened without the generous contribution of time, resources, and expertise of BCC summer staff alum, Leah Howse. She was instrumental in capturing the design vision and empowering staff with the tools needed to now be able to keep our web presence more up-to-date and helpful to our community. Thank you, Leah!

As with all changes, there will be some growth edges. If you're looking for something on the new site and can't find it, please get in touch and we can help.
