GARYADAMS
Gary Adams has been BCC’s Executive Director since December 2020. Gary served as a fulltime youth pastor for 34 years in Southern California, Dallas – Texas, and in southern Idaho, before transitioning into full-time camping ministry. He has been involved every year with Christian camping since first attending in 1971, 52 years ago. Over the years, he’s done it all, he was a camper up from 4th grade through college aged, kitchen help/cook, recreation leader, counselor, speaker, director for many years of Jr. High & High School camps, board member and executive board member, and most recently as the Executive Director at Skyview Ranch Christian Camp & Retreat Center in Ohio. Skyview employed 18 staff, was located on 175 acres, and served 9,000 guests annually year round. Due to Covid-19, the staff was dissolved, and SVR wasn’t able to do camp in 2020.
But… our God is a faithful God, and he led Gary and his family here to the beautiful mountains of southern Montana.
Gary is married to his best friend, Leesa, and they have been married since 1982 (41 years and going strong). They have 5 awesome kids and 3 grandchildren. Gary enjoys doing life-together with his family, hiking, eating out, going to the movies, Nascar and all things motorsports – especially trophy truck racing, vacationing, a good bacon-cheeseburger, and all things Disney – especially Disneyland.
Gary attended high school in Long Beach, California, graduated with a Bachelors Degree from Dallas Christian College in Dallas Texas, and earned his Masters Degree from Hope International University in Southern California. He is super excited to continue to serve Jesus as the Executive Director here at BCC helping children, students, and adults, grow and develop in their faith in Christ. His greatest desire is to someday hear Jesus say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

CoreyHULL
Corey Hull has been our Assistant Director here at BCC since March 2021.He was raised right here in Montana and met and married his wife, Breanna, here almost 20 years ago as well. They have 3 children together. Hannah is 17, Marshall is 14, and Emersyn (Emie) is 8. They have worked in full time ministry together for the last 10 years. From serving as house parents on a Children’s Rance in Idaho, to managing a group home for boys in Arizona, and then working for an after-school program in Bigfork, MT. Most recently, in 2018, they were called to Skyview Rance, in Ohio, and fell in love with camp ministry. Corey’s motto is simple, “Love God and love people,” but his passion has always been to work with kids and horses. Camp has really brought these two things together. What greater way to learn about God than to build a relationship with a horse!
Corey enjoys time with his family, watching movies, hunting, camping, and cheering his kids on in all their sports! He loves serving at BCC and showing the love of Jesus to every camper/guest that comes on property!

CalebHamilton
Caleb Hamilton is the Church Relations Coordinator at BCC. Caleb grew up as a pastor’s kid and loved the church and ministry from a very young age. It was actually at BCC where Caleb felt called by God to go into ministry as a pastor. Pursuing his calling, Caleb attended Yellowstone Christian College in Billings, MT to get his Bachelor’s in Biblical Studies, and it was there that he met and fell in love with his wife Sarah. The two got married in June of 2014 and shortly after getting married, moved to Absarokee, MT to take a job as a Next Gen Pastor where he served for three years. It was in Absarokee where the Hamilton’s had their first two children, Kloey and Klara. It was also in Absarokee where Caleb really started to partner with BCC for camps, retreats, etc. and where his heart for camp really started to grow. Caleb directed a couple of BCC’s camps and spoke a number times for their retreats and camps. It was also during this time that God really started to grow in him a passion and heart to work with other churches in Montana.
Caleb got a job in Billings MT working as a youth pastor. It was in Billings where he and Sarah had their two little boys, Briggs and Boeman. During this time Caleb became the Student Ministries Director for an association of churches called the Western Evangelical Conference, where he started to more intentionally network with churches, building relationships with youth and children workers around the state.
After hearing about the plan to restart Camp for the 2021 Summer, Caleb and Sarah prayed a great deal about the possibility of becoming the Church Relations Coordinator, and God just made it clear to them that he was leading them to help restart BCC. So armed with his knowledge of the churches in Montana, and his passions for people we are excited for Caleb to be joining the staff at BCC. Caleb enjoys doing life-together with his family, geeking out about Star Wars, loving people, creating content with Sarah for their family YouTube Channel called “The Fam Ham.” He enjoys everything Disney as well, especially going to Disney-world with his family! Caleb’s life-verse is James 1:12 which reads, “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life which God has promised to those who love him.”
