Description
Blue Bronna Wilderness Camp exists to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a wilderness setting.
We are located southwest of Longview, Alberta Canada in the Rocky Mountains. Blue Bronna is a hands on camp: hands on the horses, hands on camping and hands on the word of God. Staff Highlights “Standing on the top of a mountain in the back country on a horse and looking out in all directions over a vast landscape of mountains, sky and seeing the prairies.” “The wilderness offers adventure nowhere else can, which I think makes BBWC so different and special from other outdoor’ camps. We tend to go beyond what people expect when they think about trail rides, canoeing, and rock climbing.”
We have two facilities: Willow Creek which is our resident camp in the foothills and Coat Creek which is in the mountains. Programs include: Kids Camps, Teen Camps - Horsemanship, Survivor and Photography camps, Horse Pack trips, Family Camps Special Needs Family Camp, and Fly Fishing Camp, plus rental groups from Teen Challenge, Youth For Christ and other such groups that work with the homeless, troubled youth or folks out of prison.
We are a small camp with 35 campers per session and 20 staff. Staff rotate between the two sites and have a hand in all that we do. Even though they may come as a Counselor or Wrangler, they will be called upon to help in other areas of the camp.
Activities include: horseback riding, pack trips, rock climbing, canoeing, mountain hiking, archery, games, God Talks, fun!!.
