General Manager – Andrew Dreger

I graduated from the University of Alberta in 2010 with a Bachelor in Engineering Physics and am continuing my education with courses towards a Masters of Divinity.

I am actively involved at Ellerslie Road Baptist Church in various capacities including youth sponsoring and leading a High School Bible Study group.

I took a year between my first and second years of university to serve street children with ACTION Zambia and ACTION Uganda. Unless  we hear differently, my wife Sarah and I will be heading overseas after I graduate to serve in long-term missions.

But throughout all my other commitments, the ministry of Lone Prairie Camp has captured my being again and again.  I am excited to begin serving as General Manager this year, but I have also been a CLT, Support Staff, Maintenance, Cabin Leader, Boat Driver, Special Projects, Program Director…If there is a position at camp, I’ve probably held it at some point

Office Administrator – Sarah Dreger

I graduated from Providence College in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in Youth Leadership and a minor in Children’s Ministry. I then moved to Edmonton where I served as the Youth and Children’s pastor at Castledowns Baptist Church for several years. During my time at Castledowns, I had the opportunity to develop strong relationships with the Baptist General Conference of Canada and Alberta. I have also had the opportunity to spend most of my summers in Alberta serving in many different capacities at Lone Prairie Camp.

Along with my involvement at Lone Prairie Camp, I am active in my home church Ellerslie Road Baptist Church where I serve as a sponsor for the senior high girls and assist in leading a high school bible study Wednesday nights.

I am excited to be a part of the amazing staff at Lone Prairie Camp and look forward to seeing what God will do in this season ahead!

Program Director – Justin Kautz

I still haven’t found a place like Lone Prairie Camp where energetic activities simultaneously pump one full of youthful vigor and drain every ounce of it away each and every day. More than that, weaving and directing the lives of angels and recalcitrants in a God-fearing and God-loving manner requires every ounce of wisdom afforded me by my 24 years of life and graciously given me by my Counsellor and His Word.

In those 24 years, I have served at LPC for three summers in support staff and cabin leader roles. I never attended camp as a child and also unwittingly forewent the opportunity of afforded through the Christian Leadership Training program. Thankfully, the Lord prepared me for service at camp by giving me great joy in interacting with children and youth along with stellar biblical life training from my church community at Lendrum Mennonite Brethren.

Since harvesting numerous precious “mentals” from the vast and plentiful mines of Engineering Physics at the University of Alberta, my future has yet to be determined–aside from knowing and trusting that it will be shaped by my Lord and Master. Will I extend my university education directly by applying nanotechnology to biological developments in today’s research field, or will I venture into a brand new field of musical performance? This summer at LPC is likely to be pivotal in that development and discernment. I look forward to the challenges ahead.

Boat Driver – Blair Lewis

My love for Lone Prairie Camp goes way back to when I was 6 years old. I had the awesome privilege of attending LPC every summer from when I was 6 until I was 14! I also took part in the Christian Leadership Training program for one summer and came back last summer and had a blast!

I am currently a 4th year student at Prairie Bible Institute studying in Youth Ministry. I am so excited for what God has in store this summer at LPC!

 
 
 

Maintenance – Jordan Schwartz

I graduated from Harry Ainlay High School in 2011 and I am currently attending The Kings University College, in my first year of a Bachelor of Science in Biology.

I enjoy playing and watching sports, especially hockey, and listening to all types of music.

This year I have been serving as a sponsor for the grade 7 boys at Ellerslie Road Baptist Church, as well as a small group leader for grades 5 and 6 boys during sunday school.

I have been attending Lone Prairie Camp for 7 summers: 3 as a camper, 3 years of CLT and last year I cabin led. I enjoy working out at camp very much, and have learned many life lessons, made many friends and had some of the best times of my life out at LPC. I’m looking forward to another summer full of fun and growth.

Lifeguard – Pam Ridley

I came out to LPC for the very first time as a squirt camper when I was six and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve come out every summer since then, as a camper and then coming to go through the CLT program. LPC has been a huge part of my life and my walk with God.

Since graduating high school in June 2011, I have been given the opportunity to spend five months in Quebec, getting a chance to dig into God’s Word and learn more about him at Capernwray Quebec. In September, I will begin pursuing an arts degree at the University of Alberta.

I am so excited to get to spend another summer working out at LPC and I can’t wait to be a part of everything He has in store!
