The Pursuit Winter Fellowship is VBC Youth’s annual High School winter camp.

We set aside this weekend every year to spend time as a ministry building relationships, digging into God’s Word, having fun, and creating memories.

Basic Information:
· Camp Location: Pend Oreille Bible Camp, 7852 Le Clerc Rd S, Newport, WA 99156

· Drop-off / Pick-up Times: Drop-off time is between 5:30 and 6 pm (please do not arrive before 5:30 pm). Pick-up time is 2:00 pm at Pend Oreille Bible Camp.

· Check-in: When you arrive at camp, please bring your students to the main cafeteria building (the long, low building at the top of the driveway) where you will be met by our check-in staff. At this time, medications will be turned in to VBC Youth medical staff. If students have brought a cell phone, they will be asked to turn those in, as well (please refer to the “What not to bring” section below).
