Camp works best when everyone involved knows what we stand for and why. These are the principles that guide our decisions, from how we welcome guests to how we care for the land our camps sit on
We want everyone who comes to camp to feel welcomed and cared for, especially those who believe differently than we do. Every person who walks through our gates deserves to be served with the love and grace of Jesus Christ, equally and joyfully.
We rely on our policies to protect campers, guests, staff, and volunteers, along with the ministry and integrity of our camps.
We try to lead the way Christ did, through example. That means keeping our camps free from discrimination and harassment, in line with provincial legislation.
We work to find and remove inequities in our policies, our programs, our budgets, and how we plan and make decisions.
We ask that everyone who visits our programs and facilities respect what we’re here to do. Our mission is protected and mandated by the Charities Directorate of Canada, and we expect guests not to engage in behaviour that works against it.
Because we’re Christ-centred camps, we ask anyone filling a senior or ministry staff role, whether paid or volunteer, to be in general agreement with and explicitly affirm our Confession of Faith. This helps ensure that those we place in teaching and leadership roles can genuinely represent the faith and mission of our camps.
The land our camps gather on has carried the footsteps of Indigenous peoples for centuries, long before any of us arrived. We want to name that.
A kid you’ll never meet might remember this summer for the rest of their life, and your gift is part of why.
