Peter has been involved with Christian camps since the 60s and with CCI/Canada since 1974. He was recruited by the board to hold an official position as Ambassador in 2003. Peter sees his role as an "encourager to fuel a passion for this ministry while offering vision and insight from a long-term perspective" and seeks to be a resource to all Christian camps. Please feel free to contact Peter (705-385-2657) if/when a new perspective is desired, advice about concerns is needed, or challenges arise in your camping environment. He wants to help however he can and will direct you to someone that can if he is unable to. He is a wealth of information due to his incredible history with Christian camps in Canada.
Peter is heading up CCI/Canada's Latin America Exchange and will also be involved in the 2011 Australia Exchange and highly recommends participation in these opportunities. To read more from Peter see our website.

   

We are pleased to welcome Cassandra to our Administration team. She will be working in business membership development. Both she and Susanne share a position with the goal being to extend their hours to help facilitate all membership services as we develop. She will be focusing in on the Biz campaign, Biz membership development, and Biz sponsorship for our national events. She is married to Pete who is a police officer and their new baby, Maeve, just celebrated her first Birthday!

CCI/Canada is in the process of developing an Australian camp exchange. This is a great way as a director to broaden your view of camp from a world perspective and see other models of camp and conference ministry.  It is a great opportunity to learn, grow and gain insight into new ways of ministering through camp. The plan is for an Australian team to come here in June of 2011 and for a team from CCI/Canada to go there in September of 2011. We are in the midst of putting the dates together and developing a registration process. If you are interested in hosting our Australian guest(s) and/or travelling to Australia, please let us know of your interest. More information will be added to our website as details are confirmed.

Over the next couple of months we will be revamping the content and structure of our website. We have just switched over to a new platform (celect) that allows us more versatility, options and control.

Look for new regional pages with private login, calenders, more resources and business partnership info. If there is something that you would like to see, contribute, or suggest, please let us know.

Homesickness - Did you know 70% of homesickness can be prevented before camp starts? Never mention or talk about home with homesick campers. Avoid the H-word. Get them focused on all the fun things planned and remind them of all the fun activities they've enjoyed already.
