Happy Easter, Campers and Families!
Easter is a powerful reminder for me of the hope we have in Christ. Through His death and resurrection, we are given new life, renewed purpose, and a reason to celebrate.
This time of year always brings that message a little closer to home. As the seasons start to shift (and by that, I mean it seems like it won't snow.. again.. and again..), I set reminders to look up from my work and notice the small things again. The warmth of the sun on my face, the smell of the air changing, the sound of birds returning, and the first signs of life beginning to push through after a long winter. When I focus on "being still" it's a quiet reminder that new life is real, and that it is something we’ve been given through Him.
As you spend time with family and friends this weekend, my hope is that you would experience that same sense of renewal. That you would be encouraged, refreshed, and reminded of God’s presence in your life.
Wishing you freedom in Christ,
Anthony

We’re excited to be introducing a new leadership training program at Salem Acres Bible Camp this summer. Our goal is to create a meaningful experience that helps youth grow in their faith, develop practical skills, and learn what it means to serve well in a community setting.
We’ve begun building a framework for the program, and we’re now looking to gather some input to help shape it even further. If you’re willing to take a few minutes to fill out this survey, your feedback would be incredibly helpful as we work toward launching something that can have a lasting impactful on young people's lives.

Register for Camp!
Does your child need an adventure this summer? Salem Acres Bible Camp, located along the stunning Red Deer River just outside Calgary, is the perfect place for kids aged 7–17 to unplug, make lifelong friends, and grow in their faith.
With activities like paintball, archery, a climbing wall, campfire nights, and more — they'll come home exhausted and glowing. More importantly, through chapel sessions and community, they'll leave having encountered Jesus in a real and meaningful way.
Every family can afford it. Salem Acres offers payment plans, early-bird pricing, family discounts, and camper subsidies so no child misses out.
Bus transportation from Calgary's Deerfoot Mall is available for easy drop-off and pick-up.
Financial Assistance
Send A Kid To Camp
Our subsidy fund is completely funded by donations given to Salem Acres by those who have enjoyed their time at Camp and want to share the experience with others. We want to use our funds to help as many children come to Camp as possible and would love for you to join us in making that happen.
