About


Located in downtown Barre City out of the Barre Congregational Church, Camp BCC is dedicated to offering equal opportunities for all children to have a place where they can belong, grow, and learn invaluable life lessons. Camp BCC has games, crafts, and lessons for boys and girls aged 6-14. 

Campers must be age 6 on or before July 21. 


We provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, mindful real-world learning activities, physically enriching games, arts and crafts, and a light daily 30-minute bible story time. Our bible stories inspire faith through the art of storytelling, our counselors teach based on the themes and meaning behind the stories like honesty, bravery, loyalty, helping others, selflessness, etc. We also include a daily special lesson based on each weekly theme, like musical lessons, cooking, baking, and STEM activities. See below to learn more about each weekly theme.


Our goals: To provide a safe space for children to play, learn, and build relationships with their peers and faith.

 

Our values: Offering all children in the community the equal opportunity to have a place that enriches their young creative minds while teaching invaluable life lessons.


Our mission: Our mission is to provide a safe and engaging environment where children from all backgrounds are inspired to create a healthy relationship with faith. Through hands-on learning, outdoor activities, and bible-stories we aim to instill values of compassion, integrity, selflessness, honesty, etc.
