“I grew up going to PBC. I spent many of my summers up on the mountainside. The experiences that I remember have stuck with me through my years, both as a camper and even more as a member of the staff. The memories of working, playing, creating, studying, exploring, hiking, blazing trails, building... and all the while looking to God are ones that I will cherish. It was through this camp that I gained many of the deep friendships I enjoy to this day. I had a chance to meet godly men and women. I learned what it means to work hard, love God, test ideas, and become a leader. If you want a place that will aid in the healthy development of your children, I highly recommend this camp. It is a huge supplement in the lives of so many! It has been run through faith and love... and as such produces a safe, loving, and godly haven in a very confusing and dark world.”
“My son just got back from your camp today. The first thing he said, was that the pastor totally changed the way he thought about God. This filled my heart in so many ways. He can't say enough about all of the fun things he did and the new friends he met. He is already talking about going next year, and even helping/working there when he's older. This was a great experience, thank you!”
