How many people can Bear Paw Camp accommodate?
Our ideal group size is between 100 and 220 guests, offering plenty of space for everyone to stay comfortably while keeping that close, connected retreat feel.
What’s the maximum capacity right now?
We currently have up to 240 beds available, with more on the way as we continue expanding! Our new 13,000-square-foot Yurt Circle adds another 40 beds immediately, and once complete, it will boost our total capacity by 100 beds—allowing us to host up to 300 guests soon.
When will the new Yurt Circle be ready?
We’re putting the finishing touches on it now and expect it to be ready very soon. Two yurts are already in place, and three more are on the way. Keep an eye out for our upcoming video reveal!
Can you help us find a guest speaker, or teacher?
Sometimes coming up with a good speaker is an almost impossible task. Most speakers are found based on relationships that groups have. By serving a broad spectrum of groups, we have a vast network of relationships and help find the perfect speaker for your group.
We offer training in the following areas:
- Evangelism
- How to heal the sick
- How to cast out demons
- How to prophesy and give words of knowledge
- How to baptize people in the Holy Ghost
- How to make disciples
- Leadership development
- How to grow your youth ministry
Does Bear Paw Camp rent the facility out to other people/groups?
The value of retreats is indispensable; from the corporate world down to individual ministries, a retreat allows a group to get away from all distractions and refocus on what truly matters and plan for the future. The only struggle with retreats is many groups are too small to put on an entire retreat by themselves and keep the cost affordable. Bear Paw has heard this cry and is in the process of organizing men’s, women’s, college, and high school retreats for groups to join. Contact us for details regarding any retreat you may be interested in by going to our bookings page. If you want to put on a retreat of your own, please contact us for facilities rental information and details regarding foodservice and support activities.
