Northwest is currently planning for a return to normal activities in the Fall of 2021, with safety mitigation in place as needed. The BMB Camp dates below reflect that predicted status.
All dates are required.
Once each group has reported to campus, those members will remain for the duration of the camp.
Members should plan to be in attendance all day.
