FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

posted by Miss Marie @ 12:07pm, Saturday 31 May 2025.

Dear Tepee Bible Camp Community,  

After much discussion and prayer, the Tepee Bible Camp Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to  cancel camp this summer.

As some of you may already know, we have been facing ongoing challenges with our water system, and we do not believe this issue will be fully resolved in time for camp. Additionally, our dedicated and amazing camp directors, Skip and Marie have experienced significant health challenges this year. While we are grateful for God’s healing, we are committed to supporting them by ensuring they receive the Rest they need.  

Our mission remains to see children come to know Christ at Tepee Bible Camp and it is our prayer that we are able to do this for many years to come. In order to continue this mission, we strongly believe that taking a year of rest is necessary. This time will allow our directors to heal, and it will give us the opportunity to repair and maintain the camp, restoring it to full function.  

We deeply appreciate your prayers and support as this was not an easy decision to make. However, we are at peace, trusting in God’s direction for the future of Tepee Bible Camp.  

Blessings,  

The Tepee Bible Camp Board of Directors
