So you came to summer camp. You had an amazing time! You made new friends (and the bond you make at camp can last a lifetime -- just ask any of our staff). You might have tried something for the first time that will become a serious hobby in your future, like horseback riding, archery or rock climbing. You learned a lot about God, His love and His plan for your life. Maybe you even made a commitment to Christ for the first time.

So now what?

You'll go back to your regular life. Go back to school. Talk to your camp friends on Facebook, tag them in #latergrams on Instagram from your awesome camp week. We hope you'll try to find a church to attend and that you'll keep in touch with everyone you met at camp.

But there's another way you can stay connected to Birch Bay Ranch all year long:

Come to The Bridge! The Bridge is Birch Bay Ranch's weekly youth group for teens ages 12-18. Anyone is welcome to participate. There are special events, games, devotionals and life discussions. 

It's planned and led by Bradon Pihowich, who you'll recognize from summer camp. You might remember him from such performances as his epic lip sync to Colours of the Wind
(complete with getting doused in water, covered in multi-coloured tissue paper, leaves and paint), as well as his great talks about God at campfire all week. He's our summer camp Program Coordinator and year-round Youth Mentor.

Times, dates and locations for The Bridge events are to be announced, so watch The Bridge's page on our website and our social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) for more information!

The Bridge keeps you connected to Birch Bay Ranch all year long. We hope to see you there!
