About us
.jpeg)
In 1960 a group of men saw the need to establish a Bible camp in the Kenosee Lake area. 60 years later, Kenosee Lake Bible Camp has grown to host camps for over 600 children and youth each summer. Kenosee Lake Bible Camp is owned and operated by One Hope Canada. As a One Hope Canada camp, it is our desire to first and foremost present the gospel of Jesus Christ as written in the Bible. All of our full-time and summer missionaries are devoted followers of Christ who make sharing the saving knowledge of Jesus our first priority.
Along with teaching important spiritual truths, it is also our desire to teach campers important life-skills, such as resolving conflict and getting along with others. Furthermore, we are committed to providing a safe environment. While physical safety is an obvious concern, we are also dedicated to providing campers with an atmosphere that is free from bullying (both physical and verbal). For more information about our commitment to safety, check out www.insafehands.ca
​
And, of course, what would camp be if there wasn’t a ton of fun involved? It is our desire to make a camper's week at KLBC their favorite week of the summer! We have many skills campers can take part in (tubing, wakeboarding, archery, paintball, and much more). We also have chapel, Bible memorization, camp wide games, and we are treated to some fine eating from our cooks!
Vision statement
Show God's love, Share God's truth, Build God's family.
This statement expresses the vision of Kenosee Lake Bible Camp. It’s the reason we exist. We desire to demonstrate God’s love to each person who interacts with us, to share God’s truth as revealed through the Bible, and build God’s family through evangelism, discipleship, and serving together as the body of Christ.
Mission statement
KLBC's vibrant year round ministry creates an environment for growth through exposure to God's truth, meaningful relationships, and new experiences.
In addition to our year-round missionaries, we hire an administrative assistant for spring and summer, program directors, lifeguards, and about 50 cabin leaders for the summer. All missionaries are devoted followers of Christ who make sharing the saving knowledge of Jesus their first priority. If you'd like to join our summer missionary team, click here.
THE KLBC Team
Clay (and Tracey) Wiens
Discipleship Director
Brendan and Christy Ryan
Executive Directors
Karis (and Jan) Torres
Director of Programming & Follow-Up
Clay joined the team at KLBC in 2016. He graduated from Millar College of the Bible in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in Strategic Ministries. He married Tracey in 2022. With her background in teaching, children's ministry, and administration she brings a host of skills to KLBC. Together they enjoy board games, being active with their son Thatcher, drinking tea/coffee, and building community with those around them.
Brendan grew up attending KLBC and served on the camp board for 8 years. He joked that though he loved farming, being a camp director would be his real dream job. In 2025, the opportunity arose and we're happy to have him join the full-time team! Christy is a nurse, which serves her well as they raise their two children, Jude & Elsie. When they aren't at camp, you can likely find them at the family farm, and when they aren't at the farm, they're probably at camp.
Though her parents met at KLBC, it wasn't until 2017 that Karis first came to KLBC as a BOLD camper. Since then she's served as a Jr Leader, Sr Cabin Leader, and Program Director before joining the full-time team. She attended Millar College of the Bible for 3 years, where she met and fell in love with Jan. They got married in 2025 and look forward to settling into ministry in South East Saskatchewan. Karis and Jan enjoy reading, travelling, and playing games with friends.
"I had an AMAZING time at camp, and already miss it so thank you!"
"We just want to thank you for the input in our son's life this past month. It seems as if he enjoyed it tremendously. May God keep on blessing the work that you are doing. You are running an awesome place!!"
"I like camp. I can see God working and that is awesome to see. Plus the sun tan is nice. I'm kidding of course... It's just an awesome place to work really."
