Boys Adventure Camp has been providing adventure and fun for boys for more than 40 years. Parents say they love adventure camp because their boys come home having learned biblical principles they can apply in every day life. Spend one week at adventure camp and you will leave with new friends, great memories and a closer walk with Jesus.
Our new host, Camp Osito Rancho is nestled at 7400' on a beautiful forest ridge, just outside of Big Bear Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains. Amid the pine, cedar, and fir trees campers will experience exciting games, great campfire activities each evening, awesome crafts, delicious food, swimming, canoeing, archery, and a ropes course! On top of that each camper gets to choose one adventure skill to master: Canoeing, Marksmanship (archery and BB guns), or Outdoor Living. |
Adventure camp offers a unique small-group, intergenerational approach to ministry, creating the perfect environment for campers to deepen their understanding of God’s word, grow closer to Jesus Christ, embrace His good news, and grow in grace through meaningful personal discipleship.

Welcome Letter
Hi, Adventure Camper and Parents,
Welcome to Boy’s Adventure Camp. This year marks the 64th anniversary of Sequoia Brigade Camp. We are excited about the fun and growth that you will experience with us. Drop-off and pickup of your camper will be at Camp Osito Rancho, located at 1801 Osita Camp Rd, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315. See the directions tab below for a map and directions. You should arrive at camp between 3:30 and 4:30 PM Sunday afternoon. Please do not arrive earlier than 3:00 PM. Parents are invited to dinner as our guests Sunday evening. Dismissal will be after breakfast on Friday morning. Parents are encouraged to arrive at 10:00 AM to take part in the closing ceremonies and awards. If you would like to send mail, campers certainly appreciate it. The best way to do it is to bring it with you in a sealed envelope and slip it to us secretly when you drop off your son. Then we will deliver it to the boys in the middle of the week. See the other tabs below for list of what to bring and more details. If you have any other questions, special requests, or concerns feel free to reach out. |
What To Bring
Please mark all boy’s clothing, towels, etc with his first and last name. Many boys do not recognize “lost and found” items, so labeling is a necessity.
Necessary Items:

Electronics Policy
CELL PHONE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE POLICYAll camps conducted by Sequoia Brigade Camp, whether in a wilderness, rural, or suburban environment, are designed to enable the camper to “break away” from the normal aspects of life, and grow closer to God, to His creation, and to fellow campers.
With the above in mind, it is required that no camper may bring a cell phone of any kind, or any type of electronic device for recreational use. No cell phones, video game systems, music players, laptops, etc. If in doubt, don’t bring it. Cameras and flashlights are fine, but not cell phone cameras! Camp leaders will have access to cell phones or appropriate communication devices where available in case of emergency. If you have questions or special needs please contact the camp director or tripmaster for the camp or trip. |
