🌟Our Volunteer Training Program graduates have a lot to be proud of this year! Campers from EPIC, Thrive Community Services, Apostolic Christian LifePoints, and Mosaic participated this year and our graduation party was one to remember! 🎓

Our campers learn how to be a great volunteer and apply their skills at Camp Big Sky. Shout out to everyone that makes this program possible. Sam Miller did a great job as our guest speaker motivating the attendees to dream big and share their special skills with their community!

Over the weekend, we had both levels of our Learning Center and Lodge rented from a group in Chicago. We are lucky to have campers come from hours away to enjoy our accessible infrastructure.

We were able to escape some of the rain and do a hayrack ride, boat rides and fishing.
