8) Who is Blue Bronna, where are they and how do I get there?
Blue Bronna Wilderness Camp is a not-for-profit organization that desires to take you away from the busyness and distractions of life so that you can see the power and majesty of God and meet Jesus Christ in a personal way. BBWC runs two sites southwest of Calgary. Wilderness ReBoot will take place at their Coat Creek site off Hwy 940 amid the beauty of the foothills of the Canadian Rockies Mountain range.
While each participant is responsible for their own transportation to and from Blue Bronna, if you are travelling from out of province and are arriving by air arrangements for pick-up and drop-off from Calgary airport can be made by contacting the Wilderness ReBoot Director, Ben Reed, at BenReed@outreach.ca [Back to the Top]
