Camp Activities
Camp Fun with Purpose
At Big Sky Bible Camp, activities aren’t “just something to do”—they’re one of the ways we build relationships and create space for God’s Word, because Jesus Christ is the center of everything we do.
How Activities Work at Camp
At Big Sky Bible Camp, activities (or electives) give campers the opportunity to personalize part of their week. Campers attending Traditional Overnight Camps choose four activities during online registration. Because some activities have age limits or group size caps, selections are available on a first-come, first-served basis — and some fill quickly.
Activities vary by session, so options may look slightly different from week to week.
Campers in Day Camp and Camp Promise do not select activities in advance. Instead, they rotate through a set schedule designed specifically for their camp experience.
