Kathleen joined our kitchen team in the spring of 2019. Since then there is no turning back! She has taken her background in marketing, retail and of course, baking, to bring a delicious array of meals to our camp guests. Always energetic and smiling, we often see her family join in helping with larger events. Kathleen is the mom of four kids, and attends Clearview Community Church.
Katie is excited to be joining the team this summer. With a background in childcare and children’s ministry and a passion for Jesus and leading children to know him and follow him, Katie is hoping to provide your kids with their best summer yet. When Katie isn’t at camp, you can find her with her husband Dave, her two kids Charlie and Natalie and her big silly dog Shera.
Abe and Rileigh’s journey with Evergreen Christian Ministries began over a decade ago, in 2013, when they met at the leadership boot camp as volunteer camp counselors. Their shared passion for serving children and youth quickly bonded them in a lasting friendship but ultimately led to marriage today. Camp remains an essential part of their lives, and they are thrilled to be part of shaping the next generation of leaders. During the year, Abe works as a private piano teacher and at Bethany Church KW where he serves in worship, children, and youth ministries. Rileigh works at a children’s treatment centre as an Occupational Therapist supporting the development of children. Together, Abe and Rileigh are devoted to creating a positive and inspiring camp experience that encourages young people to grow in faith, leadership, and community.
Meet Marie Bezeau, she has been part of the Stayner Family Camp team since 2017. She LOVES camp ministry and has seen the impact and importance of it. Marie was raised in Nova Scotia and now lives in Hanover. She is married to Cory with three adult children (Tristan, Joshua & Emma). Marie brings her bright smile and friendliness to our office during Stayner family camp, and she looks forward to seeing all your faces – new and returning – once again this summer.
Gwendelyn lives in Stayner with her husband Rob, who is lead pastor at Stayner EMC. Gwendelyn first came on board as our Heroes on the Move Day Camp Registrar. As time passed it was obvious we needed her skills here, and she now works as our Stayner bookkeeper on a part time basis. Gwendelyn is mom to Madison and Zach, both now grown up and pursuing their lives. With coffee in hand and a ready smile, Gwendelyn is an important part of our Stayner Team
Verlie joined our team as the bookkeeper for ECM in 2005. Since then, she has also taken on other roles, including Camp Registrar for Youth and Family Camps. A gifted musician, she has also had the pleasure of leading worship at both Stayner and Mishewah. Originally from Newfoundland, Verlie moved to Hanover where she met and married Doug. They have 3 married children, and 7 grandchildren. Because Verlie works from home, she looks forward each year to visiting our camps to rekindle friendships and experience the spiritual refreshment that camp provides.
