Crowsnest Lake Bible Camp Association is an autonomous, evangelical, faith ministry dedicated to bringing glory to God by responding to the needs of the whole person according to the Biblical principles of evangelism and discipleship through offering programs in a camp setting.



We believe that every child should have the opportunity to attend camp (recognizing the obvious space limitations) regardless of the financial status of the family. Therefore, all camps are offered on a “fee-free” basis to the campers. This also allows us to demonstrate the grace of God as He offers so much to us as a free gift.



While it is important for programs to be challenging and fun, a primary consideration must always be safety. We believe that it is possible to offer challenging and stimulating programs while, at the same time, maintaining a solid safety consciousness.



We are strongly evangelical – we do believe the Lord calls us to join Him in the ministry of reconciliation. We also believe that working with children carries a great responsibility to be sensitive to the issues of free choice. Children are easily influenced by those they respect. This is natural and appropriate. We need to be careful that we guide campers into decisions in the spiritual area of life, that are their own, not ours imposed on them. We don’t want campers to think that they will gain our love and acceptance by “praying a prayer”. We as a camp want to work sensitively with what the Spirit wants to do – He is the One who calls people to Himself.
