Schedule and Event Details

April 08-11, 2010 Boot Camp

Who Should Attend:
BCNW is for those who honestly ask themselves:
"Who am I?"
"What am I made of?"
"What am I destined for?"
"Have I got what it takes?"

Details:
Check- in is from 15:30-17:30 on Thursday followed by dinner at 18:00. The Boot Camp concludes after lunch at 13:00 on Sunday (nine meals total). Men are strongly encouraged to attend the entire BCNW event.

The Venue:
Boot Camp will be held at The Washington Family Camp (formerly Wildhorse Canyon) a Young Life ranch located at 1 Muddy Road, Antelope, Oregon, 97001 (541-489-3100). Directions to the camp, photos and more information about the venue are available at: http://sites.younglife.org/camps/washingtonfamilyranch/default.aspx .

Check In / Check Out:
Check-in is 15:30 - 17:30 on Thursday.

We strongly encourage you to arrive early, before dark. It is VERY dark and the camp is very hard to find once the sun goes down. And, the program will start promptly. You will not want to miss the opening session as it will be key to the entire weekend. You should allow for a 6-7 hour drive from Seattle or about 4 hours from Portland, plus any additional time you may wish to take to eat a meal on the way. Dinner will be served promptly at 18:00.

Boot Camp concludes after lunch at 13:00 on Sunday.

We encourage everyone to stay on for a few hours after the formal conclusion of the camp and spend time with God. Please give yourself some time before returning to the rat race. The camp has graciously consented to let us stay as late as 16:00 - though buildings will close earlier.

Transportation:
You are responsible for your own transportation to/from camp.
