Who operates YFBC:
A Board of Directors is in control of the operations at the Youth Farm Bible Camp. An Executive Director is hired to manage and operate the camp. The Board reports to the Mennonite Church Sask. through the Camp Coordinating Committee.

Mennonite Church Sask. operates three camps in the province. They realize that sending a child to camp can bring concerns to parents.

For this reason, our camps have tried to make these decisions easier for you to make. Children are not the only ones who benefit from the Saskatchewan Mennonite summer camp program. Parents can also relax knowing that our camps are looking after the welfare of their children.

The individual campss are responsible for hiring both paid staff members and volunteer staff members. Anyone interested in applying for work at any one of the three camps must send in a staff application form to the Mennonite Church Sask. office. The CoMoS office sends the staff application form to the camp that is specified on the application form. The the individual camps then process this application form and decides whether or not to hire the individual.

In addition to sharing a common hiring process, Saskatchewan Mennonite summer camps also share share a common camp policy. This policy includes a:

1. Staff contract form. All camp directors, counselors and counselors-in-training are required to sign this contract.

2. Sexual harassment policy.

3. Child abuse policy.

4. Child abuse declaration form.

5. Departure from camp form. This mandatory form is a deterrent to people who might try to have unlawful access to the child during the week that the child is at camp.

Saskatchewan Mennonite camps work hard to protect their campers from an imperfect world. For more information regarding the Saskatchewan Mennonite summer camp policy, please contact the Mennonite Church office.
