Looking for something this summer for kids? Always wished there was a place to invite families over the summer to grow deeper in faith, play in community, and grow together in love? Aspire Bible Camp is coming this summer, and we want you! This collaborative offering of a vacation bible camp, spearheaded by Lauren Odile Pinkney, Children, Youth and Family Minister at Christ Church Cathedral and Diocesan Missioner for Youth and the Revd. Alex Wilson Vicar of St. Anselm's, seeks to offer an accessible vacation bible camp experience for parishes of any size.

Partnering with Revd. Terry Dirbas at St. John's Shaughnessy and Revd. Laurel Dykstra at Salal and Cedar, Aspire Bible Camp runs from July 17-21, and is made possible by grant funding from the diocesan Anglican Initiatives Fund and the Parish Ministry Development department.

Have a passion for ministry with kids, training in Godly play or Messy Church, or know of a youth/young adult who might want to work with us? Contact Lauren to find out more at email lauren@thecathedral.ca 

Parishes are invited to participate in the drop off and pick up, as well as hosting snack times. This will give them the ability to engage with the parents and celebrate the joys of kids learning together about Jesus.

Registration opens now, and the $75 fee gives kids a limited edition Aspire Bible Camp T-shirt and snacks everyday. We ask that participants bring their own lunches.

Not only will we learn more about the powerful love of Jesus together, we will also visit other churches in the area and learn about the beauty of the earth as we play and make community in it together.

Register now, before it fills up!
