Turtle Mountain Bible Camp is a non-denominational Christian ministry and a registered charitable organization owned and operated by One Hope Canada.

The purpose of TMBC is to bring glory to God by providing a recreational setting that is both relevant and relational for the primary purpose of helping campers and volunteers reach their potential in Jesus Christ.

Campers and volunteers participate in morning and evening chapel sessions which include singing and age-appropriate Bible teaching by the chapel speaker of the week, with the purpose of providing opportunities to learn about God.

We teach the simple gospel message about Jesus Christ & his life, death, and resurrection; and how God's love is available to each and every person. For more details please see What We Believe (in the About section of the website).

A $50 deposit is due upon registration for each camper for the week they will be attending. This registration fee is non-refundable. The remainder of the fees are due on arrival at camp, although full fees can also be paid at registration.

Refunds are made for unforeseen circumstances at the discretion of the Director. The $50 registration fee is non-refundable.

We have a Health Officer available to campers and volunteers on site 24 hours a day. They are there in case of injury, sickness or to administer medication (prescription or otherwise) as needed. Qualification: The individual filling the role of health officer is required to have a current EMR certification.

All medications must be left with the camp Health Officer at check-in on the first day. The Health Officer will dispense them to your child at the required times. Medication will be returned to the camper on closing day at pick up.

If your child is injured at camp the health officer will be notified by a camp leader who will then connect with the parent or guardian of the camper. The camp leadership team and full time team are fully trained in CPR and first aid. A first aid review is also covered by our front-line team at their summer training.

All allergies and severity MUST be noted on the camper's registration. There is a designated special diets cook for campers who have food allergies or sensitivities. It is very important to state any allergy or sensitivity on camper registration before arriving at camp so that we can be prepared to provide for your camper. Please contact the camp if you have specific questions or needs that we can address.

Parents/Guardians sign the camp permission form authorizing personnel to check each child for head lice during opening day. Upon arrival, campers will go through a head lice check station prior to moving into their cabin. If a camper has head lice, the parent/guardian has the following options: Take the child home to treat the condition and we will reschedule them to another session (if available). TMBC is willing to provide needed treatments (cost of treatment will be charged to parent) on site if necessary. The camp Health Officer will make daily checks for nits. The campers bedding and clothing would also be washed and dried prior to them going to a cabin. In the case that lice is discovered during a camp session, we will notify the parents/guardians of the camper as well as contact parents/guardians of campers from the same cabin.

A confirmation e-mail will be sent to each camper upon completion of registration forms.

The ages are guidelines and campers one year younger/older of the posted ages per week may be accepted to enable siblings, relatives or friends to attend the same session. With the exclusion of Sr. Teen week which allows only the posted age is to attend.

The majority of our mission team/volunteers are from the Southwestern Manitoba area. Most have been campers at Turtle Mountain Bible Camp and enthusiastically return to help provide campers with a great camping experience like they have received. We endeavour to accept the highest caliber of volunteers who are good role models and can lead by example. Other than our 6 year-round missionaries, everyone else on site is a seasonal volunteer. Our leadership team serves 4 months (May-Aug), while all of our other positions are weekly. Some people also volunteer one-two days a week depending on the task they are assisting with. For more information about volunteering - see Volunteer page

Each of our volunteers are carefully chosen through a thorough application process, including a written application, personal contact, reference checks, and a Criminal Record Check/Vulnerable Sector Screening check. All volunteers must also complete our online training In Safe Hands prior to serving at camp.

Yes. Each cabin has two cabin leaders and up to nine campers. Our cabin leaders are involved with all of the activities campers do at camp, including running and attending activities, participating in chapel, and being part of a table team during meal time.
