Reunion Banquet a Success!

Thank you everyone who came out to The Heart of Birch Bay Ranch Reunion Banquet!  It was a time of connecting with Birch Bay Ranch alumni, family and friends.  Everyone enjoyed spending time together, sleigh rides, and a wonder turkey dinner feast!

This event, and others like it, are intended to connect with and engage with Birch Bay Ranch Alumni.  We are building a  "Birch Bay Ranch Alumni Club" to ensure this rich community is nurtured, staying connected and is aware of any opportunities to become more involved with Birch Bay Ranch and it's ongoing ministry.  Volunteering around the Ranch, helping to raise awareness for BBR in your neighbourhood and attending fundraising events are all opportunities for alumni to stay involved.

If you missed the banquet, please plan on joining us at future events including the Bands n' Bids Fundraiser this spring (dates to be announced) and the Birch Bay Ranch 50th Anniversary celebration at the end of August.  If you are not yet on our mailing list you can sign up here.

Updates from Birch Bay Ranch

• Welcome our new Board of Directors!  Birch Bay Ranch is so excited to welcome our brand new Board of Directors!  This new board is made up of talented, skilled and knowledgeable people who are passionate about Birch Bay Ranch and it's ministry.  They have already been put to work and are doing a great job moving Birch Bay towards a successful and fruitful future.  Thank you!  
• New cabins!  At long last, Birch Bay Ranch is finally getting new cabins!  Thanks to the generosity of several donors and additional funding from grants, the Ranch plans on putting up two new cabin buildings near the current boys dorms.  Each building will have two levels with two cabins on the main level with a bathroom and staff rooms located upstairs.
• Riding arena is operational!  The indoor riding arena opened for business in 2015.  Birch Bay Ranch is offering winter riding lessons to the community and groups and has already started to generate a revenue stream from this new facility.  We are excited for the opportunity the new indoor riding arena offers the Ranch and our community!
• 50th Anniversary Celebration Event!  Birch Bay Ranch has been operating as a summer camp ministry for 50 years!  To celebrate, we are holding a massive event on August 27-28th at Birch Bay Ranch.  We hope to have live entertainment, will be running our activities, enjoying great food and a time of fellowship and celebrating all that the Lord has provided His Ranch!
