Activities
Family Camp is one of our busiest camps, and there’s never a shortage of things to do. When you’re not in a Chapel session or eating meals at the Dining Hall, you can find activities available at nearly every corner of Camp!
Play Board games with family and friends or work on crafts over in our Mt. Hood meeting room. During activity rotations, different areas like axe throwing, rock climbing, the Giant Swing, and others may be open to experience. The pool is open daily for swimming, as well as the waterfront, though lifeguard times may vary.
Or at any time, check out our full, 18—hole disc golf course, play some mini golf, and of course, ride bikes and scooters around Camp!
Every year, attendees are welcomed and encouraged to bring bikes, skates, and scooters. Many of the kids love to hang out for hours, riding around the paths and parking lot here at Camp, plus there’s the Annual 4th of July Parade to join!
Chapel Sessions
Chapel sessions for the adults are held in the Tab, opening with a time of group worship before the speaker presents. It’s a chance to worship without distraction with a group of like-minded believers, and an opportunity to experience the presence of God.
Meet the 2026 Speaker!
Brett Hollis
With over 30 years of experience as a pastor and speaker, Brett loves to bring comedy with a message of hope to encourage millennials to seniors. Brett’s unique experiences make his comedy its own flavor and hilarious style.
He comes with stories and observations about life that will get you laughing and then keep you there as one story leads to the next.
Brett and Kim have two adult children and two grandchildren. He and his wife are avid hunters and desire to help each other grow in their relationship with each other and Jesus.

High school and middle School Sessions
During the main sessions in the tabernacle, the high school and middle school campers come together to play games and learn about who God is in their very own chapel sessions. This summer these students will meet in the Harmony Springs Chapel, while the adults meet in Tabernacle.
Child care and hands-on, gospel centered lessons
Elementary Age and Younger Sessions
These groups will meet in various meeting spaces around camp during the Tabernacle sessions. There will be multiple BLBC staff per area, leading students in fun Bible lessons and games!
