What's New in 2025?
All of the great things you loved in 2024 are back, with a few new twists!
2025 SUMMER CAMP THEME
This year is we are on a Journey. Deuteronomy 2: 7
NEW DIRECTORS
We welcome Dan & Pearl Hiemstra as the new camp directors taking over from Jacquie Bolen. Dan and Pearl spent 2024 working under Jacquie and will do their best to keep the camp fun and maybe a few new improvements along the way. We are introducing a new fundraising program called "Adopt-a-Bunk" at camp, contact us to find out more information either to donate or to apply for financial supports for camp fees.
CAMP FEES
Due to the recent increases in food costs, there will be a small fee increase. Summer camps will be increased by $15 and weekend camps will be increased by $10/camper. If that is a hardship for your camper, then please contact us about our Camp Sponsorship programs as we attempt each year to find donors for those who can't afford the camp fees. The reason for this is to cover the ever-increasing costs of running camp. we are doing our best to increase the community contributions to help bring camp costs down. Please contact us if you know someone who would like to donate time, prayer, or fees.
ONLINE REGISTRATIONS
This year, to save on postage and printing costs, there will be one brochure for all Amasa camps throughout B.C., and we will be moving to an online registration with the dates posted on our website www.amasa.ca. Registration is scheduled to open in the new year. If you require a manual registration for any 2025 camp mailed to you, please contact us and we will mail you a manual camp registration form. We hope that this will make the process of registration easier and more effective. The prices for each camp, the deadline for payment of fees, and returning information forms are set out in the registration system. Each caregiver/camper will receive an information sheet with a list of what to bring to camp, directions, and the balance owing with their deposit receipt via email.
EXPANSION TO NEW CAMP AREAS OF BC
For June 2025, we are offering an Amasa Camp at Elkgrove Camp in Abbotsford/Aldergrove area in the Lower Mainland of BC. We pray that we will be able to offer camp again at Echo Lake Bible Camp, near Vanderhoof, B.C. by 2026. We pray that we are able to bring Amasa camp close to all people with diverse abilities who are looking for a fun bible camp experience.
Looking forward to a great time in 2025! May God bless you and keep you until we meet again at camp!
