Events  Explore Reunion 98-08
Explore Ten Year Reunion
All Explore program alumni, please join us at Camp Bighorn in Montana May 2-5, 2008 to reconnect and celebrate the past 10 years of God working in and through our lives as we shared experiences together at Prairie Bible College and Camp Bighorn.
Check back on this site for more details and updated information as the time gets closer. And join our Explore community group "Explore - Wilderness & Leadership Program (PBC)" on facebook.
Reunion Schedule : May 2nd - 5th, 2008
Adventure activities will be determined based on weather, however our plan is to offer a range of land and water activities (ie. kayaking, rafting, rock climbing, hiking, challenge course, etc). For these events, please bring appropriate attire and personal equipment if you have it (ie. dry top, climbing shoes, etc).
We also have plans for a child care program over the weekend particularly during the Saturday adventure activities – please ask for details or keep watching for more details.
