Our Mission
Our mission is to encourage campers to encounter the love and life of Jesus Christ through:
• Christ-centred teaching and programs
• Christian Community
• Personal relationships
• A safe and fun camp experience
The Board
The Board is a Volunteer Committee that meets once a month (year round) and is composed of elected representatives. The Board is made up eight individuals and includes our Chairman (Terry Carabetta), Vice-Chair( David Jones), Treasurer (Blake Henley), Secretary (Mackenzie Saip) and three members at large (James Copp, Taryne Hagan and Ajay Martin). In addition we have a variety of other committees including: the Sessions Committee, the Facilities Oversight Committee, the Human Resources Committee, and the Director’s Nominating Committee.
Our Members
Daybreak Point Bible Camp is a stand alone society which is supported financially, and spiritually through the tireless efforts of member churches, individual donors, and many volunteers. The Member Churches each select one representative who attends meetings and agree to uphold the principles, mission, and beliefs of Daybreak Point Bible Camp. Furthermore, the member churches contribute financially, provide volunteers and promote the Camp.

Community Partners
The fabric of Daybreak Point Bible Camp goes far beyond just the people that attend a camp each summer. We are fortunate enough to have some incredible Community Partners , and we consider ourselves fortunate enough to affiliate ourselves with them. They are, in no particular order: The 604Network (formerly the Chapel Movement), The Union Gospel Mission, Columbia Bible College, KidsWorld and Youth Unlimited.
Our Staff
The Leading Peak Hike
The Leading Peak trailhead is located on Daybreak Point Bible Camp’s property. The Camp is closed to the public except for the prearranged, escorted walk-through (from March-June and September-October) of hikers by our Caretaker staff for the purpose of doing the hike. If you would like to arrange access through Daybreak’s property to do the Leading Peak Hike, please contact the office and we will send you the required waiver form for accessing the trailhead. Our arrival windows for access to cross our property are 9:00-10:00 am and 3:00-4:00 pm. At this time we are not able to provide moorage. There is a suggested donation of $25 per group, but it is not mandatory. The large majority of the trail, and Leading Peak itself, is on Crown Land. We are not campsite operators and there is no campsite set up at the Leading Peak. We cannot authorize or manage requests for camping on Crown Land. We are able to provide trailhead access only at this time on a first come, first serve basis. Our other facilities (washrooms, cabins, picnic tables, kitchen, etc.) are not available for use.
Trailhead access is not permitted through July through Labour Day while our summer camps are in session.
Thank you for your understanding!

We also use this time to tackle a long list of repair work that the camp requires as well as take on new projects and
- Our Fall Work Party runs late September – Early October and provides tasks such as closing down the buildings and general camp maintenance. We again, use this time to continue tackling our long list of repair work and new projects.
