NEW IN 2024: All applications will be waitlisted, but you will hear within a week of your application progression or acceptance.

**Please note: We have a new registration system for 2024, which includes a new application. It will take some more time to complete the application, but we hope the extra information we ask will help us care for your camper with greater excellence. Thank you for your patience.

All applications are taken on a first come, first serve basis. Due to the demand for overnight camp, we ask that campers only apply for one week of overnight camp. Campers may apply for an additional week of day camp, but no more than one week of Day Camp either. Please see below for any special instructions for New Campers.

To reserve your place at camp there must be a completed application and the $50 non-refundable deposit submitted to BSBC. Acceptance to camp will be on a first come basis. ALL NEW CAMPERS WILL NEED TO HAVE A CAMPER INTERVIEW COMPLETED BEFORE THEY WILL BE ACCEPTED, BUT THEIR APPLICATION WILL BE CONSIDERED IN THE ORDER IT WAS GIVEN.

Our Camps

How to Register

At overnight camp, campers stay in cabins with their counselors. Each week of camp offers several activities, including swimming, ropes course, canoeing, and many other traditional camp experiences. Many memories are made at our cookouts and our end of the week banquet and carnival. Summer 2024 we will have two weeks of overnight camp:

Camp Promise 1: June 24-28, 2024

Camp Promise 2: July 1-5, 2024

Registration is open.

The cost of overnight camp is $400 per camper.

Scholarships available.

Day camp is everything great about Camp Promise without the overnight stay. Sometimes overnight camp is a stretch for our campers and having a week of day camp will help campers adjust to camp as well as enjoy all the fun we offer during our traditional camp.

Day Camp 2024 will be:

June 11-14, 2024, for ages 20+

June 18-21, 2024, for ages 8-25

July 9-12, 2024, for ages 15+

Registration is open.

The cost of day camp is $225 per week.

Day Camp is four days long and begins at 9 am with check-in starting at 8:45 am. Camp runs until 5:00 pm and includes a morning snack, lunch, and an option to buy an additional snack at the camp store in the afternoon. We start the day with outdoor activities, chapel and rotate through electives during the day. Weather permitting, we will swim and enjoy lake time every day.

The cost of day camp is $225 per camper. Transportation from Kalispell and Columbia Falls can be arranged for an additional fee.

We welcome new campers every year to our camping program. All new campers must be at least 10 years old and should be aware of the following steps to apply:

Fill out an online or paper application as soon as possible. Registration opens January 3rd.
A completed physician form must be submitted by mail or email to office staff by June 1st. See below for addresses.
All new campers must have a home interview to determine their suitability for camp. After the application is received, you will be called by camp staff to arrange an interview.
Please note that after you apply online you will automatically go onto the waitlist. You will be contacted within a week of applying to arrange the home interview. In the meantime, please contact your doctor to arrange for the physician form to be completed. (If you live outside a four-hour radius of Bigfork, Montana, we can offer you a teleconference instead of a home visit.)

**A Campership form does not register your camper for camp. A completed registration form is necessary to guarantee your camper a spot at camp. For Registration information, see the Registration Information tab.**

At registration the camp nurse will have your camper's Medication Information Sheet and will confirm all medications and treatments needed for the week. No medications, prescription or OTC, are allowed in cabins. Prescription medication and OTC allergy medication must be checked in with the camp nurse at registration. The nurse will disperse these medications as necessary throughout the week. Other OTC medications are not to be brought to camp. The camp nurse keeps a supply of OTC medications available for use if deemed appropriate. Any prescriptions or OTC allergy medication brought to camp must:

Be in the original container.
Include the name of the camper and the physician prescribing the medication.
Include physician's instructions for dosage. If a dosage other than the printed dosage is necessary, a signed doctor's note is required.
Include only the number of doses necessary for the camper's stay at camp.

The camp nurse will be available during camper registration for any additional concerns or instructions.
