Camp des Bouleaux

What Camp des Bouleaux does

Camp des Bouleaux is a non-profit Christian vacation camp established in 1965 and headquartered in Grand-Remous, Quebec, on the shore of Lake Grier in the Hautes-Laurentides region. The camp is structurally affiliated with the Association des Églises Baptistes Évangéliques du Québec (AEBEQ), whose confession of faith governs its programming and volunteer requirements. It operates year-round across four seasons, delivering week-long residential summer camps for children (ages 8-12), teens (ages 13-16), families, couples, and single adults, complemented by themed weekend retreats (fathers-sons, mothers-daughters, women's, men's, youth rallies, 18-30, praise, outdoor adventure, color festival). Accommodation is provided through five tiers of cabins and chalets (Rustic through Deluxe+), seasonal and autonomous camping sites, and on-site amenities including a 240-300 seat dining hall, conference hall, beach, water trampoline, and sports facilities.

The camp's technology stack is entirely third-party commodity SaaS: Wix Wufoo and JotForm for forms and waitlists, Zeffy for donation processing, ReserVit/ReserVit for camping reservations, Activity Messenger for event registration, Flickr for photo albums, YouTube for conference recordings, and Google Analytics for site analytics. No proprietary platform, mobile application, API, or in-house model is disclosed. The only reference to artificial intelligence is a generic privacy-policy statement about algorithmic processing of aggregated data, with no named model, vendor, or capability.

Revenue is generated through four streams: (1) per-session camp registration fees (~$95-$963 per person depending on program and accommodation tier), with a 20% deposit at booking and balance due 30 days before arrival; (2) seasonal camping rentals at $2,100 + tax per site (May-October); (3) donations via Zeffy across general administration, special projects, STAFF fund, and the "Compagnons du camp" recurring giving program, which collectively cover approximately 12% of the annual budget; and (4) group and school bookings with cafeteria service for groups over 30. Pricing is complemented by a 40% financial assistance program through the Quebec Ministry of Education's accessibility initiative. Customer acquisition flows primarily through direct-to-consumer channels (camp website, online registration, social media) supplemented by community-led referrals from AEBEQ member churches, with the camp serving over 4,000 campers annually supported by 250+ volunteers and 100+ teenage STAFF members. A leadership transition to Jean-Sébastien Roy as General Director occurred in April 2026.

Revenue model

1. Camp Registration Fees: The primary revenue stream comes from registrations for camp sessions and retreats across four seasons (winter, spring, summer, fall). Pricing varies by program type, accommodation tier, and participant age. Registration fees cover accommodation, meals, and activities.
2. Camping and Cabin Rentals: Seasonal and autonomous camping site rentals generate revenue independent of programmed camps. Seasonal camping is offered from May to October at $2,100 + tax per site, with amenities including water, electricity (30AMP), and sewage. Autonomous camping is available on select dates for self-sufficient campers.
3. Donations: The camp receives donations through its 'Compagnons du camp' monthly giving program, general administration fund, and special project fundraising (e.g., Canadian Chalet renovation). General fund donations cover approximately 12% of the annual budget and help keep camp stays affordable for over 4,000 campers. Donations are collected through the Zeffy platform.
4. Group and School Bookings: The camp generates revenue from private group bookings including schools and organizations, who rent facilities for day trips or multi-day stays. Services include use of facilities, cafeteria catering (for groups over 30), audiovisual equipment, and sports equipment.

• Pine Valley Christian Camp: Canadian Christian camp running summer and seasonal retreat programming for children, youth, families, and adults with volunteer-driven staffing. Operates a similar faith-based group camp model in a comparable Canadian geography.
