History

Camp Bighorn is a branch of Bighorn Ministries and is a sister camp to Lone Ram Ranch.

The idea of a camp in western Montana that could serve the needs of the Northwest region came into fruition in 1985 through the efforts of Cliff Gustafson and the Columbia Baptist Conference (now Converge NW).  The goal of Bighorn is to be a unique Christian camp that proclaims the salvation of God and emphasizes God’s discipleship principles thorugh the use of His creation, whether that be through rock climbing, white-water rafting or kayaking, team initiatives, or sitting around the fireplace in community.

Tom and Terri Collins stepped in as Directors of Camp Bighorn in 1986 and served in that role until 2005 when Tory and Jennifer Albertson took their place.  Tom Collins then moved into his present position of CEO of  Bighorn Ministries.  In 2009 the Albertsons felt called to leave camp ministry and Luke and Andrea Underhill have stepped into the postion of Executive Director after having served at Bighorn for several years working in Program.

Camp Bighorn continues to be a non-profit Christian camp that seeks to use adventure in the outdoors to lead people closer to Christ and closer to the community around them.
