We have had a wonderful few days together and have just one more sleep and another day tomorrow before campers go home. It is a whirlwind of excitement with this age and we have had more fun than we thought possible. We have water skied and tubed, played with on the slip n’ slide, had a huge water fight, camp fire, chapel, and of course great food not to mention the many other activities that we did!

2009 Camp Speakers

July 12th, 2009

Family Camp Speaker

I don't know what Glenn is doing but it looks like he is working hard.

Glenn Peterson

Glenn’s currently serving Lighthouse Community Church in Sarnia, Ontario. Having grown up in Michigan, he became a permanent resident of Canada this year. It only took 15 years. He’s married to Bekah and dad to ella who turns 1 on August 25. He’s passionate about following Jesus and inviting people to do the same.

Sr. High Speaker

Evan recently found himself which was difficult considering he blended really well with his green shirt!

Evan Dewald

Evan is a pastor at Hope Community Covenant Church in Strathmore, AB and has many years of experience helping students grow in their faith. Evan is married to Christin and has three children.

Evan will be challenging students through experience and open discussion giving senior high campers much to think about during the week.

Junior High Camp and
Middle Camp Speaker

He doesn't always dress up in girl clothes... really he doesn't.

Dave Rae

Dave is from Winnipeg MB and is the heart and sole of Manitoba . Besides for being really funny Dave is able to teach and bring application that is both concrete and practical. His use of story and humour captivates young people who enjoy learning from him.

Dave attends Faith Covenant Church in Winnipeg and has a strong community of faith. Dave Graduated from Providence Bible College with a degree in acting or drama or something like that!

Junior Camp Speaker

In case you are curious, Telisa is sweet.

Telisa Bucknor

“Having been a girl who was “bigger and taller” growing up, I know what it’s like to want to fit in and to look and feel like everyone else. But now I know that a) people change and so do the way they treat others and b) God always loves! In a world where people are constantly trying to do better and be better to fit in, I am passionate about youth understanding their uniqueness and realizing just how special they truly are! I am delighted when young people experience a love that cannot be earned but is freely given, the love of God!”

Telisa Bucknor lives in Edmonton she is a youth leader in her church and works as a nursing instructor. She is enthusiastic and is incredably warm. If you are caught up in conversation with Telisa you will likely find your self laughing and wanting to talk more!

Telisa takes the time to get to know each camper and uses this knowledge to speak into their lives appropriately. She allows herself to feel burdened when learning of someone’s hardship or filled with joy when she hears of their success or blessing. Their is no doubt that the students will feel loved and thus be open to God’s word that Telisa will speak.
