MIDWAY Bible Camp

Since the beginning of Midway Bible Camp over 10,000 children and young people have attended as campers and many more as volunteers and staff. Many have received Christ as their Savior and are still walking with the Lord. What do campers like about MIDWAY Bible Camp? A nine-year-old boy said, “I like the games, Bible studies and singing at the chapel services – that is the best.” An eleven-year-old girl liked chapel and singing. When asked what they like about camp, other children said, “It is fun … swimming … everything … cable slide.”

Partridge Crop Lake Site

The Churchill location was not yet called Midway Bible Camp and it started with 8 campers, followed by doubling the next two years to 16 and 32.
Midway Bible Camp was first given the name Midway near Gillam, Manitoba. It was given this name because it was “midway” between Churchill to the North and several villages to the South of Gillam. Children came by train from Churchill, Pikwitonei, Thicket Portage and many other communities on the Hudson Bay rail line.
In 1965 Manitoba Hydro needed the area where the camp was so the camp had to move. A new location was found near Partridge Crop Lake, 25 miles East of Thompson, Manitoba. Campers went by train to a siding in the bush near Pikwitonei. From there they were taken by boat 12 miles up the river. A large boat was designed and built to take the campers and staff to camp. During these 19 years many children and young people from Arviat, Churchill, Gillam, Pikwitonei, Thicket Portage, Thompson, and Wabowden attended MIDWAY Bible Camp. Camp here was always full. from 100 1967 to 135 campers in 1983.
In 1983 it was decided to move the camp from Partridge Crop Lake to a location near the growing city of Thompson. The long distance to travel, uncertainty of trains in the future and high cost of running the camp out at Partridge Crop Lake were the reasons for moving the camp. In 1984 a campsite was leased 15 miles South of Thompson on the scenic shore of lower Ospwagan Lake. Here the camp grew to 160 campers.
The latest site of MID-WAY BIBLE CAMP at Moak Lake was the original INCO town site when they first started mining in this area in the 1950’s. It was located 45 kilometers northeast of Thompson on an all-weather road. INCO of Thompson leased this property to Continental Mission around 1993. With an annual average of 237 campers and a high of 338 in 2011 the camp ministry continued to fill a need for Northern Manitoba.
With notifications from the Mine in Thompson creating significant uncertainties to the year-by-year use of the Moak Lake site, discussions have been on going for many years about the feasibility of relocating. With buildings deteriorating and the investment not making sense to put into a location on a “6 month at a time “contract the new location was secured as a long term lease with support from Nisichawayasihk First Nation and the Government of Canada. The hope is that this is the long term solution to the location of Midway Bible Camp for years to come.
