Annual Report for 2015

2015 Annual Report

Discover the warmth of our hospitality.

Located in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies we are one of Alberta’s premier year-round Christian camp and retreat centers. It is our great privilege to welcome and serve campers and guests throughout the year for getaways with greater purpose.

Our heritage is North American Baptist and traces back to the 1940’s when we hosted summer camps in Sylvan Lake. In 1973 we moved to the present 320 acre property on the outskirts of the community of Caroline, expanding to year round ministry. Over the years there has been much development and growth throughout the ministry, allowing us to now welcome annually over 10,000 people of all ages and stages of life.

Getaways with Greater Purpose First steps. Next steps. Servant-leadership.

The ministry of Camp Caroline exists to encourage first steps in a life-long journey with Jesus; next steps that follow him faithfully; and, servantleadership that exemplifies his compassion and concern for others.

Core Commitments: Reaching this generation of individuals and families. We are committed to ministry models that introduce individuals of all ages and stages of life to Jesus; that invite them to follow him through a robust faith relationship; and that provide opportunities for them to become involved in service.

Valuing healthy relationships. We are committed to serving alongside individuals, groups and churches that share a desire to work together to realize the full redemptive potential of our ministries; that challenge us to recognize our role in God’s plan; and that help us nurture vibrant relationships in all areas of life.

Intentionally investing in leaders. We are committed to teaching and training experiences that encourage emerging and established leaders to grow as servant-leaders, thus exercising to their fullest potential a godly influence throughout their areas of service and leadership.

Warm hospitality for everyone welcomed. We are committed to being a ministry of hospitality that creates a safe place to welcome people from all walks of life; that strives to place the needs of those welcomed first; and that pursues excellence in service at all times.

Impactful ministry for years to come. We are committed to sustainable models built upon sound Biblical principles enabling us to steward and support ongoing ministry of Camp Caroline with the highest standards of integrity, care and service.

Executive Summary Amazing! It is simply amazing how much can happen in 12 months!

This past year was a tremendous one for the ministry and organization of Camp Caroline.

Throughout the year we had the privilege of welcoming and serving more than 10,000 campers and guests. We have been thrilled to witness God’s working in the lives of so many this year!

Getaways with greater purpose.

Something extraordinary happens when a person slips away from the regular rhythm and routine of their lives to visit Camp Caroline.

While difficult to describe, it’s impossible to forget the difference even the shortest stay has on an individual as they discover the story of God’s amazing love.

Getting away does not produce transformational ministry. It does however cultivate moments.

Moments created to encourage faith. Moments

full of redemptive potential. It is in these moments a person encounters God’s presence and purpose for their life and relationships.

At Camp Caroline we are uniquely able to serve people by creating environments designed to encourage life-changing experiences. Through the ministry of hospitality, we strive to serve everyone with such excellence that their time at camp is free of any distractions or hassles, allowing them to focus on connecting with one another and with God. Farewell to the Croziers.

In June we said farewell to Jim and Diane Crozier.

Having served well for over thirty years, Jim concluded his service as the Executive Director.

During Jim’s time at Camp Caroline he was used by God in so many, many ways and we continue to thank God for his commitment to the ministry and years of leadership.

God’s continued faithfulness.

Though this was a year of transition I am pleased to announce that attendance at our summer camps continued to grow with a 4.4 per cent increase this year and 1,375 campers registered.

CAMP CAROLINE

While we had a modest increase in registration with our summer camps we did see a slight decrease of 1.7 per cent in the number of guests coming to camp throughout the year. The decrease was specific to rentals targeting 11 to 18 year olds.

Our campership aid fund once again was able to help families facing a financial need in 2015. We were able to distribute 45,602 dollars to 142 campers needing some help to attend summer camp.

Along with these funds collected to help these families we received donations totalling 196,970 dollars, plus volunteered time totalling 7,576 hours with an estimated value of 122,700 dollars this year in support of the ministry of Camp Caroline. Through the generosity of all those who gave we continued to create warm, caring spaces for more than 10,150 people.

We celebrate opportunities to serve so many individuals and families throughout the year and were thrilled to have 48 conversations with campers who made a first-time commitment to a faith-relationship with Jesus, 19 conversations with campers re-committing their lives to

2015 ANNUAL REPORT

faithfully follow Him, and the chance to witness 2 individuals being baptized!

We were also excited to intentionally invest in the lives of 208 emerging leaders during the summer months. These leaders served one week or more on summer staff or participated in the LEAD program.

Forward in faith.

Thinking of all the ways God has been at work throughout the ministry in 2015, I cannot help but think we are well positioned to enter this new season of ministry. We have reviewed and updated our ministry purposes and priorities, ensuring greater alignment across the organization. We have a dedicated team committed to serving together to realize the full redemptive potential of the ministry – pursuing core commitments directly connected to the mission and vision of Camp Caroline. We are implementing strategic goals and developing a master plan for impactful ministry for years to come. This is an exciting time to be part of the ministry of Camp Caroline. As we move forward in faith I can hardly wait to watch God’s continuing work in the lives of those welcomed and served.

Board Summary Generally speaking the role of the Board of Directors is to be focused on the up and out; ensuring that the mission and vision of the ministry and organization is what it should be and supporting the Executive Director to realize this mission and vision.

While this was a year with a lot of change that caused the Board to be more inwardly focused for a season, we recognized that after the appointment of Ben Trites as the new Executive Director in June we were able to return to our role of stewards of the ministry and organization of Camp Caroline.

Currently our work is focused in three key areas: Solid foundations.

God has entrusted us with a beautiful location and great facilities. In fact, our facilities allow us to operate year round as a ministry. As we strive to steward the facilities toward their full redemptive potential we are beginning to explore expanded ministry opportunities. We are tremendously thankful to those who had the vision and invested so much to provide the incredible legacy we have at Camp Caroline.

14

Moving forward in faith we recognize that for Camp Caroline to continue impactful ministry for years to come we need to invest in the existing property. We have begun a review of the site and facilities and are preparing a strategic plan to meet infrastructure needs over the next few years.

Planning for future developments will continue to be part of the long term vision, however, at this time we need to address the need for substantial investment in the existing facilities.

Organizationally, we are reviewing Camp Caroline’s policy and governance structures to ensure they are compliant with current employment and legislative requirements. As we complete this review we remain committed to maintaining our close family relationship with the Alberta Baptist Association (ABA) and supporting churches.

Better together.

We are dedicated to serving alongside local churches, the ABA and other ministries to achieve our mission of First steps. Next steps. Servant-leadership. In this past year of transition, while reflecting on our values and core commitments, we have reaffirmed our commitment to maintaining strong, healthy relationships with supporting churches and the

CAMP CAROLINE

ABA, and working together with Taylor Seminary and the E.P. Wahl Centre.

Working with like-minded ministries and organizations to intentionally invest in emerging and established leaders is a core commitment of Camp Caroline. From the LEAD program designed for developing leadership skills for individuals in grades 11 and 12, to hosting the ABA Pastors & Family Retreat, to our partnership with the E.P. Wahl Centre, to offering the Thrive Retreat for pastors, Camp Caroline (together with our partners in ministry) eagerly embraces opportunities to create safe spaces for leaders.

As we reflect on the many blessings and learnings we have had through our years in ministry, we also recognize the mantle of leadership God has placed on us. Camp Caroline is recognized as one of the foremost Christian Camps in Canada and we believe God is calling us to explore opportunities to partner with the Christian camping community, both here and abroad.

Greater purpose.

Our vision, Getaways with Greater Purpose, reflects our understanding that Camp Caroline is positioned to offer the Biblical hospitality that we all desire. By offering a space that is free

2015 ANNUAL REPORT

of distractions and hassles our prayer is that everyone who travels down through our gates can focus on connecting with each other and with God. We as a Board continue to seek God’s guidance as we discern what His greater purpose is for the ministry of Camp Caroline. What is He, who is able to do more than we can even think or imagine, placing before us to do for His Kingdom? Given what He has already blessed us with, is the dream of a world-class retreat space out of reach? Are we called to further our role in leadership development that will impact our world for the next generation? Should we be looking to broaden our ministry to pastors and ministry leaders that encourages their health and the health of their ministries?

As we grasp God’s will for the greater purpose of Camp Caroline we covet your prayers and support to help us see clear the path of excellence He is laying before us. We are convinced that He’s given His best and it is inspiring us to give nothing less. I invite you to join us in seeking His will for the future of the ongoing ministry of Camp Caroline.
