Annual College Events

BBC BBQ: The school year begins with various fun activities that welcome new students and bring the BBC family back together after a busy summer apart. One of those events is the annual barbecue.

Student/Faculty Retreat: You will learn to look forward to this College retreat. Early in each fall semester, all students and staff, along with their families, are invited to spend a few days at a campground in the beautiful Idaho mountains for Bible study, recreation, and fellowship.

Winter Banquet: This banquet gives you an opportunity to dress up and have a lot of fun.

Preview: Every April high school students from around the Pacific Northwest attend this two-day event to get a taste of life at BBC. Preview is a chance for the student body of Boise Bible College to showcase their skills in worship, teaching, and other areas, to host students from their home churches and youth groups, and to welcome those students who will soon join the BBC student body.

Faculty Skip Day: Each fall the faculty selects a day to replace classes with recreation. Usually only the faculty know when this day is going to hit.

Senior Skip Day: Each spring, at a signal from the senior class officers, all of us “skip” away from classes for a day of recreation, food, and fellowship.

Spring Banquet: The junior class and non-graduating seniors plan this special event as an opportunity to honor our graduating seniors. It is also the time when some of the student awards are given.

Special-Interest Groups Athletics: BBC encourages participation in sports as a way to promote physical health. The more serious athletes can participate in city- or church-league flag football, volleyball, or basketball. You can also participate in the fun and fellowship of intramural sports. Just minutes from campus are facilities for tennis, golf, jogging, biking, tubing, or skiing. Also nearby are health clubs and the YMCA. In the winter, skiing is available at Bogus Basin Ski Resort. Concert Choir: This class is for all students who enjoy singing praises to God and working with others to prepare and share Christ-centered messages through music. Opportunities for ministering through music will be offered throughout the year. Crossing Guards Ensemble: This is a noncredit select musical group, usually of four or five students, chosen by interview and audition and hired to represent the college in churches throughout the Northwest. Family Groups: BBC students are members of a “family,” a group of students who are all served by the same academic advisor. Periodically throughout the year your group will get together for fellowship and for ministry activities. Student Body Clubs: Boise Bible College encourages the formation of and participation in clubs organized and attended by students with interests in special areas of spiritual development and service. Student Council: Students selected by student body elections meet regularly with the Dean of Students to improve campus life, solve problems, and plan some of the special events of the College. The Student Council also sponsors committees that plan athletic programs, mission projects, Spiritual Emphasis Week, and Preview (the high school visitation program).
