What’s going on at BJP?
Spring Programming

During the Spring and Fall, school groups come to BJP for field trips! Our staff have been facilitating team building challenges, belaying at our high ropes course, and teaching environmental education classes.

Wilderness First Aid

Some of our Spring Staff participated in a Wilderness First Aid Training, lead by one of our former staff members, Marie Cole, who is now an Outdoor Program Specialist with the Scouts based in South Carolina.

Safety is our #1 priority at camp and certifying our staff in this more advanced, outdoor specific first aid improves both camper and staff safety! (All staff are basic First Aid & CPR Certified)

What’s one piece of advice you wish someone had told you before your first summer?

“Be prepared to be surprised… in a good way!” – Adair
“Simply live in the moment and appreciate the environment and people your’re surrounded by. If you spend your time worrying about the what-if’s then you will miss what’s happening around you.” – Molly
“I wish I knew about the amount of lifelong friendships and connections I’d be making!” – Jay
