These camps are adventure programs that take place at Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp, but spend 90% of their time away from the main camp area and instead take place in our campout areas – Outback, Murphy Brassett, Bear Valley, Wilderness Area, etc. These areas have platform, canvas tent cabins with rustic bunk beds inside them. Each bunk has a mattress; campers should bring sleeping bags & pillows, and any other sleeping equipment (sleeping pads, etc.) that will help make their stay comfortable. Facilities include outhouses(portapotties) near these campout areas. Access to showers is limited throughout the week, with a chance to shower 1x during the week. These campers will prepare (and clean up after) most of their own meals over campfires and camping stoves, with a menu more like an off-site backpacking trip. Campers in these programs should expect to have minimal interaction with other programs happening at FLBC at that time.
You will receive an email confirmation and welcome letter which includes a list of what to bring to camp. You can also find this on our website (coming soon).
For campers registered before June 1st:
• Full payment, health form, and required waivers are due by June 1st.
For those registering after June 1st:
• Full payment is due at time of registration.
Please complete forms online at the time of enrollment or as soon as possible.
Having forms filled out online early will:
• Make registration fat go much smoother for you and your camper.
