Meet Our Board

Bob began his relationship with the camp a few years ago to assist with the ranch camps. It was there that he saw just how real God was, and the impact that MLBC was making on so many lives, including his children and grandchildren. Bob became a board member quite a few years ago and has a passion to see the camp advance and continue to see lives change.

Arlene is from Yorkton, SK. She is considered to be a "lifer" of Madge Lake Bible Camp. She went to camp as a kid, then counselled as a teenager. Then when her girls were old enough to attend she got back involved as camp nurse. Arlene has been on the camp board now for about 8 years. She loves to see God at work through the camp. She sees Him meet financial needs, and working in the lives of people. One of Arlene's greatest joys is watching campers grow up and mature in Christ and to see them continue to serve in their communities as they marry and start their own families. "I truly believe camp is one of the best places to reach people for Christ." Wayne just joined the board in 2020, but he is no stranger to the camp. He's been involed for many years, supporting the camp and Arlene, helping with the Christmas plays and fundraisers, and doing maintenance.

When Abby first moved to Yorkton, SK she was invited to the camp by a friend and attended in 2009. She was 12 years old. Even though she was surprised by size of the camp, she loved the exciting atmosphere! Returning every summer since, she has been a camper, Leader in Training, Counsellor in Training, Cabin Leader, Program Director, Nurse and LIT Director. Her most favorite parts of camp are staff meetings, and seeing and being a part of the deep relationships that grow at the camp. In addition, experiencing God and His ability to work in her and other’s lives has been monumental to her! Abby chose to join the board in 2019 when she could no longer work at camp for the whole summer due to her work as a Registered Nurse. However, she still makes time to be apart of the camp in the summers!

Dylan has been a camper at Madge most of his life! He joined the board because he has seen the difference camp can make in people's hearts, including his own.

Edwin started his camp career as a camper at age 11. It was then that he first gave his heart to the Lord. He might be what you call a “lifer”. At age 13 he first spent a week as CIT/LIT and returned every summer until he graduated highschool and then some more after that. After a bunch of years being part of a cabin he was able to pursue another interest as tech director. For several summers he helped film and put together highlight videos so campers could remember their amazing camp experience. Edwin continues to help out with some tech stuff and has been involved with many of the Imadgeine Christmas productions. Some of his favourite camp memories are from his years as tech director watching the campers engage in worship.

Jeremy is from Roblin, MB. He grew up going to Madge Lake Bible camp each summer. Through camp, Jeremy encountered God in amazing and deep ways he hadn't before. He enjoyed meeting so many new people, making friends & playing fun games outdoors. He has made many awesome memories at camp that will be with him for the rest of his life. Jeremy got to work as a CIT and then a Cabin Leader. While those jobs aren't always easy, Jeremy felt it was so rewarding to be able to see God work in the lives of his campers. Jeremy is very excited to go full circle and now serve the camp by being on the board. He is looking forward to serving God through this oportunity!

Chad McCord got connected with MLBC when his daughters started attending as campers in 2018. Then in 2020 his oldest daughter came as a camper and as an LIT, and the way God worked in her life that summer was incredible. Chad volunteered in the kitchen for a number of weeks. Not only did he have a blast, but he was able to see first-hand God working very evidently through the different staff and events, and loved being a part of the Madge family. Chad joined the board in Feb 2022 and is very excited to be able to serve! He loves that he is often able to serve with his family and is excited to see where God leads the camp.

Corelie is from Churchbridge, SK. When camp was needing some volunteers in the kitchen in 2017, she went to help and experienced the amazing presence of the Lord at camp. That August her and her family came to Family camp and ever since then, her kids have been coming to camp every year as campers and now WIT and LIT and Corelie has been volunteering as Camp Nurse ever since then as well. Her most favorite part of camp is experiencing the loving and joyful atmosphere at camp and how the campers are impacted by what the Lord is doing in them. “It truly is a place where God enters their hearts, and they begin to grow”. Corelie just joined the board in 2023, as she sees God working in her own life. She helps with the Christmas Play Dessert Theatres and continues to be a part of camp each summer!

Robert Schuster has been going to MLBC since he was 11. Going to camp was always the highlight of his summer while growing up. He grew up always believing in God but it was through camp that he began to grow in his faith and develop a relationship with Jesus. Robert agreed to join the board because he want to give back and support the place where he found and developed his faith.
