Friends, good times, experiencing Jesus, and a bit of crazy fun - what could be better than experiencing a week at camp? How about sharing that experience with someone else! Wouldn’t it be cool to see God use you to transform someone’s life forever? It could happen this summer.

We are looking for people of all ages with a missionary heart who love Jesus and are willing to die to self and serve Him. If that’s you, Gimli Bible Camp could offer a very fulfilling ministry experience. All our leadership positions are volunteer but we may offer an honorarium to help you a bit.
