Campership Time
Campership Time: This is a notice for families with children and/or youth eligible to attend Mennonite Bible Camps in Sask this summer. There are 3 GREAT camps in the province:
- Camp Elim for ages 5 – 10 (Swift Current): Learn about God’s love & Jesus’s teachings. There is great fun with camp songs & games.
- Shekinah Retreat Centre (Waldheim, SK): Children’s Camp for ages 7-11 & Senior Teens Camp for ages 15-17. Shekinah is relatively small, young people get to experience community in a safe environment, step outside of their regular, screen-filled lives & experience nature, recharge their spirits, & make friendships that can last a lifetime. Children’s camp is a great way for your child to gain some independence & self-confidence in a safe & fun environment. The focus is on making friends, trying new things, appreciating & exploring the natural world, &, of course, having fun! Reconnect with God, nature & each other! Every year is a bit different, but you can count on some amazing new games, classic & challenging camp activities, plenty of time to spend making friends
- Youth Farm Bible Camp (Rosthern) - Kids & Youth-various ages: Our purpose is to share Jesus with others & be a place to serve. We primarily do this by running camps in the summer with a fun staff, lots of activities, farm atmosphere, & great programming. We offer camps for children & youth and are also one of the few camps in Sask that offers an Adult Special Needs Program for adults with intellectual disabilities.
Please go to the MC Sask Website for additional details on the camps. https://mcsask.ca/mcsask-camps If a family is interested in sending their youth to a camp, the GMC Education Ministry has funds set aside to assist with some financial support. The amount of support will be determined by the number youth/families who confirm their attendance. Arrangements to transport youth(s) to & from the camps can be arranged. Please contact Marianne Penner to confirm attendance by June 8, 2025.
