Camp Briarwood is a Christian camp for boys and girls, designed to offer summer adventures your child will never forget. The camp is operated by Quest Recreation, a sports and recreation ministry with a global reach under the supervision of Briarwood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, Alabama.

Since its beginning in 1964, Camp Briarwood has been a place of life-changing experiences and growth for as many as 1,000 children each summer. The camp provides an atmosphere where the physical and the spiritual blend together. Each weekly session of camp includes Bible discussions, stories, songs and chapel services to help each child grow in their relationships with God and others.

It takes Director Scott Hannah and the staff team at least 5 months each year to plan and operate camp. Counselors are school teachers, college students, senior high school students, and junior high age counselors-in-training. Typically 75% of the counselors each summer have been counselors in prior years. We have some counselors who have worked for 9 years at camp, starting as counselors-in-training and working throughout their college years!

Camp is held in two locations. Day Camp is held at Camp Kanawahala in Chelsea, Alabama. Overnight Camp is held at YMCA Camp Chandler in Wetumpka, Alabama. Both camps have picturesque grounds for all kinds of fun. Depending on the camp, kids get to experience activities such as hiking, swimming, canoeing, riflery, archery, arts and crafts, horseback riding, sailing, skiing, and high ropes course.

Come and join us for one the best weeks of summer you'll ever have!

Workout, workout with bossy r

Bossy r is strong and works so hard

So every time I say a work with bossy r in it

When I say a word with no bossy r at all

You stop and freeze and stand up tall

Walk in place if theres a bossy r

At Briarwood, we believe each child, as an image-bearer of God, can find a purpose and a place in this world, being equipped with a solid academic and spiritual foundation necessary to represent Christ and His Kingdom in whatever sphere of influence God calls them.

We believe in nurturing and discipling children as we equip them for the future God is preparing for them. That is why, at Briarwood, students will learn a variety of disciplines, along with being invited to become a member of clubs, sports teams, and involved in the arts. It is also why we have brought together a highly qualified and enthusiastic faculty who are passionate and actively engaged in communicating God's truth to students through Christ-centered instruction.

Such learning and development occurs at Briarwood through a loving, grace-centered school community. Our students, knowing they belong and are loved, are able to take academics seriously while also enjoying the love of learning. Students are taught individual responsibility while also encountering problem-based learning and collaboration as they learn the value individual members offer for the good of a community.

We partner with our parents in their commitment to raising godly children, with the earnest desire to see our students fully put their hope in the Lord. We take this responsibility incredibly seriously, and we consider it our calling and our honor, to serve our Briarwood families in this manner.

Four years ago, FACTS and RenWeb united to provide the best education experience possible. Since that time, we've worked toward combining our services in a way that benefits our school partners and their families.

Above all, we value Christian character, godly compassion, and a life of service to God and others. Those values are evident in all we do as we disciple students through competitive athletics, the arts, academic achievements, and both local and international missions.

BCS PTF Information

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Parent Teacher Fellowship, PTF, is the parent organization that seeks to serve the school, students, teachers, and families. The purpose of the PTF is to serve Christ by serving the school; to promote, enhance and enrich Christian education by providing an organized force of volunteer parents to support the mission and the programs of the school. There are two PTF boards: Lower School PTF and Upper School PTF. Each PTF is focused on serving the teachers and families at their respective campus. However, both PTF boards work closely together to serve Briarwood as a whole.

What is the mission statement of the PTF? Each PTF board member assumes specific responsibilities to support our mission.

Seek to glorify God through word and action in support of BCS.

Work to build unity in the school and community through purposeful meetings, personal interaction, and written communication that enhances the spiritual and learning environment at BCS.

Seek opportunities to support and encourage the teachers and staff at BCS through tangible actions and regular prayer.

Seek opportunities to support BCS in the community at large as a beacon of God's love and grace.

Use fundraising to help accomplish these goals and to supplement school funding in special areas of need. These areas include school materials and other classroom resources.

What does the PTF do? The PTF provides monthly Teacher Appreciation lunches to encourage our teachers and faculty, facilitates a Prayer and Mercy ministry for our school family, and contributes to the provision of Wish List items from the school such as Smart Boards, text books, technology items, and furniture for the common areas.

Each PTF also has campus specific committees which serve the school. You will receive a link to sign ups for committees on Aug 15th, 2023.

The PTF is here to support and serve you and your family. We will join together with you in prayer for your needs, help provide meals when someone is sick or recovering from surgery, or just be a source of information for you. Please let us know if we can ever be of service to you by emailing us at the following email addresses.

Lower School PTF: bcslowerschoolptf@gmail.com

Upper School PTF: bcsupperschoolptf@gmail.com

How do I help? PTF depends on each family's contribution through membership dues and active participation. The PTF accomplishes its purpose by harnessing the power of volunteers! That is YOU! There is a place for you! Almost all the committees require a small amount of your time. Whatever amount of time you have to give is greatly appreciated!

Membership Dues: The PTF is fully financed through PTF membership dues and other fundraising efforts with every penny flowing back into the school. Membership dues are paid yearly and to each specific PTF. The PTF dues are only $25 per family for each school. Your support and generosity makes it possible for the PTF to help enrich our school.
