Mission Statement

Jesus said: “.. This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.”
​
Our goal is to do help young people realize that to know God is our most important goal in life, and that forgiveness and faith in Jesus Christ are essential to reaching that goal. Through teaching times woven into the fun and educational activities of camp, we present the basics of the Biblical message, encouraging each individual to become a growing follower of Jesus Christ.
​

We Build Experiences

Join us!  If you have not yet been introduced to our Saviour, Jesus Christ, allow us to introduce you to him.  If you have a relationship with our Saviour, we are privileged to join you on your journey with Christ.  More than anything, come and enjoy the wonderful wilderness made by our glorious God while making memories that will last a lifetime! Young and old come together to enjoy the outdoors and have fun laughing, playing, swimming and canoeing.  Our short over-night camping experience allows people of all abilities, the young, and the young at heart, to participate in one or two night camps [note: as of June 9, 2018 only day camps with no overnight stay for 2018] that can be a fantastic introduction to camp and staying away from home.
