Bear Creek Camp Lifelong friendships, learned skills, opportunity for respite and retreat, and acceptance into a community that is welcoming and open to all. The discovery that happens at the end of the red dirt road can only be described as “life-changing” and has continued for generations thanks to the support and generosity of so many. Together we are Bear Creek Camp and together we are making a positive impact on the world. Bear Creek Camp Summer 2024 registration is underway! Please know there is financial assistance available from JELC for students to attend. Jordan will provide 1/2 of the campership fee for youth members! (students completed grade 1 – 12) Last summer, 1 out of every 2 campers received some form of financial assistance to attend camp and 1 out of every 5 received a full camp scholarship.
