Brian graduated in 1986 from Bob Jones University after studying camp
ministries and Bible. In 1987 he helped pioneer The Wilds of the Rockies, a
camp ministry in Colorado where he stayed for two years.  He was on the
program staff of The Wilds in western North Carolina for ten years. He
married his wife Rebecca in 1993.  In 1998, Brian and Rebecca moved back to
The Wilds of the Rockies where he was the program director for almost seven
years.  When The Wilds of the Rockies closed in 2004, the Olsens decided to
stay in Colorado to continue providing Christian camping in the West.  God
enabled Brian to found Pine Ridge Ministries, a Christian camping ministry
in Colorado.  Since 2006 the Lord has blessed the ministry allowing them to serve over one thousand campers through three summer teen camps and five adult
retreats. 

The Olsens are now serving with Camp on Wheels helping to build a
permanent campsite in the Northeastern Arizona Mountains.  They are thrilled
to be a part of this exciting ministry. They have four children: Ethan, Jacob, Laura and Audrey.  Brian has a passion for camp work and the
youth of America.  His desire is to see camp ministry continue in the West
and reach many for the Lord.  The Olsens pray that young people will commit
their lives to Jesus Christ and realize that there is true joy in serving
God.
