We can’t wait to see you for another incredible Spring Conference! This year, our Edify conference is being held at Fair Havens Camp & Conference Centre on March 18, 2025 and we’re thrilled to be introducing our Young Leader’s Meet-Up on March 17 – a chance for future camp leaders to get together and plan/dream about how to level up their skills and follow God’s leading on their ministry.

Our theme for 2025 is “The Future is Bright”, and we’re excited to see how God will lead your thoughts and plans as you look to Him for the way you should go. Our morning speaker is Steve West, an Ontario pastor and professor at Heritage College and Seminary.

NEW! for 2025: Young Leader’s Meet-up

CCI Ontario is planning to launch a Young Leader’s program starting in September 2025. Before the program launches, we want to meet with young leaders from your camp to learn more about how we can best serve them. To make that happen, we’re doing a one-day (and one-night) Young Leader’s Meet-up. Register for the Meet-up, and we’ll include two training sessions with Matt Wilkinson (Camp Kwasind) and Ken Vissers (Camp IAWAH), dinner, an overnight stay at Fair Havens AND the Spring Conference, all in one fee.

Date: Monday, March 17 and Tuesday, March 18, 2025
Location: Fair Havens Camp and Conference Centre, Beaverton
Cost: $200 per person (CCI Member Camps only)

The Meet-Up is designed for leaders who are between the ages of 22 and 29 and are in their first 2-3 years of their roles. If you have someone who is close to these criteria, but aren’t sure, just reach out to us and we can chat about it!
