The Big Bear Sports Ranch was founded in 1971 and is located in the beautiful Southern California San Bernardino Mountains. At 6,800 feet we offer a unique, clean, fresh air summer camp experience. We are only 8 miles from the Bear Mountain Resorts.
The Big Bear Sports Ranch is a pioneer in the concept of sports oriented camps. Our success is due to the fact that we have adapted to the changing sports interests of our campers. For 36 years, the BBSR has focused on providing children an experience that they will remember for a lifetime. It is our goal to provide a quality experience to the campers that helps build character while having the time of their life. Our motto “Just for the fun of it” is a true description of the experience the BBSR shares with campers.
