Hello from Blue Bronna Wilderness Camp.
We are a Christian adventure based camp located southwest of Calgary.

As a small camp and as all camps are trying to get back rolling after two years of COVID, I am just trying all avenues but I am not offended if this is out of line. If this is, just let me know and I will remove you from my list.

I am wondering if you can send you a poster to put up for students to see either on your Facebook page or one you can print out and post up somewhere.

Blessings
