Turtle Mountain Bible Camp is hosting its fall fundraiser now at the end of October, which will serve as an opportunity to share stories from their summer camp season and to raise funds for their capital build project, the construction of a Cabin Pod to accommodate 30 additional beds.

Members of the summer team will be present to recount their experiences and highlight how they witnessed God at work throughout the summer. This event is especially meaningful for those who weren’t able to attend camp, offering a glimpse into the impact and moments that shaped the season.

For Monday, September 22, 2025 through Tuesday, September 23, 2025 crop residue burning is NOT AUTHORIZED except by permit in all municipalities and zones in Manitoba due to poor ventilation conditions.

Due to the recent rains and the harvest season taking longer than expected, Daniel and Chelsea Zylstra and their staff at Turtle Mountain Bible Camp have decided to postpone their Fall Fundraiser to Sunday, October 26th.
