Hey we are Richard and Carma Bankert and have been the Camp Director's are Dauphin Bible Camp since January of 2006. We have a little girl named Brooklynn and a boy named Braeden.

I (Richard) grew up going to Hilbre Bible Camp (now Eagle Bay) in the Manitoba Interlake and sorta lived at the camp as my best friend was the Camp Directors son. It was also at Hilbre where I was a cabin leader, canoe instructor, and my love of summer camp really took hold.

After high school I took a year of electrical at Red River College in Winnipeg.

I then moved over to work at Elim Lodge just outside of Peterborough Ontario. I was able to work with no real title and filled the roles of host, program leader, maintenance, and more.

Leaving Elim Lodge I enrolled at Briercrest College and Seminary and would graduate in 2006 with my B.A. in Christian Ministry. During that time I also spent a summer as the Maintenance Director at Valley View Bible Camp and two summers as the Seasonal Camp Director at Midway Bible Camp.

Carma grew up attending the Dauphin Bible Camp and spent one summer as the Program Director at Valley View Bible Camp. We were married in 2004 and have been directing together ever since.

We live right at the Dauphin Bible Camp year round so feel free to stop in and have a coffee!
