WELCOME TO CAMP HBC!
Registration for Camp HBC - OPENS JANUARY 31, 2026
Who We Are
Camp HBC was established by Hespeler Baptist Church as a day camp run to provide campers with engaging activities, opportunities for deep friendships, and a clear presentation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray Camp HBC will be the highlight of your child's summer!
What We Do
Our staff and volunteers are committed to providing your child with an exceptional camp experience for an incredibly reasonable price! We strive to present the gospel, live in a manner worthy of the gospel, and serve our campers and families for the sake of the gospel.
What’s Different
Above all, Camp HBC exists to demonstrate the transforming work of the gospel! Although activities and games are some of the best parts of camp, we believe there is something much more important for our lives. We can all live without games, but no one can live without the gospel!
2026 CAMP WEEKS:
We are excited for Camp HBC 2026!
Please note that our camps run from Grades 1-8.
Makers, Bakers & Inventors
July 6-10, 2026
Stretch your mind and imagination! We want everyone to realize that creativity includes a wide range of skills and activities. There will be flour, there will be paint, and there will be fun, messy memories to be made. We will explore some of the craziest inventions and maybe come up with some of our own.
Wilderness Adventure
July 13-17, 2026
This will be a week packed with exploration and learning skills needed to survive our expedition. Whether you are navigating the trails or conquering your next challenge, there will be no shortage of things for your team to work on in order to reach your destination. This is an adventure you don’t want to miss.
Mission Impossible
July 27-31, 2026
Welcome to Mission Impossible! If you choose to accept it, your mission will be to crack codes, dodge lasers and solve mysterious puzzles. We will teach you all you need to know about solving the mystery, becoming a detective and finding the truth!
Kingdom Quest
August 10-14, 2026
Good morrow, your epic journey awaits! What say you? Come and travel to the land of noble Kings and Queens, where knights are trained, castles are guarded and adventures are plenty? Nay, there is never a dull moment in the kingdom, the week will be bustling with medieval games, music, celebrations, jousting, feasting and so much more. Fare thee well.
Lights, Camera, Action
August 17-21, 2026
Lights, camera, action! What’s your talent? Step up and show us your moves. Can you sing a merry tune, or pull a rabbit out of a hat, or maybe you can juggle while riding your unicycle backwards?! Prepare yourself for an energetic week of games, drama, music, and maybe a few dance moves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Camp HBC happen?
Camp HBC happens at Hespeler Baptist Church (76 Adam St., Cambridge, ON, N3C 2K5).
What are the camp hours?
Camp hours are from 9:00am - 4:00pm. If you need to extend the day for your camper, Extended Care runs from 8:00am - 5:00pm for $20 per time session/per week, or $40 for morning and afternoon.
Are the grade requirements for the current school year or the upcoming year?
Good question! The grade requirements are always based on the upcoming school year starting in September 2025.
Should I pack snacks and a lunch for my camper?
Campers should bring along a lunch on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Camp HBC provides lunch for campers on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week (dietary options available!).
Campers should always come with nutritious snacks to get them through the day. We usually provide at least one snack per day, though it is wise to pack more than needed for our busy camp days!
Does Camp HBC have safety and child protection policies in place?
Yes! Our staff members have First Aid Training, and both our staff and volunteers have up-to-date Plan to Protect training and current Vulnerable Sector checks.
Hespeler Baptist Church abides by an up-to-date Child Protection Policy. We seek to maintain a 1:6 leader to child ratio.
Do you go off-site for trips?
One of the best parts of Camp HBC are our amazing off-site trips! Typically a week of camp will include one or two other trips to places like the African Lion Safari, Bingeman’s or Skyzone. Apart from the pool, we take a chartered school bus to get to our off-site destinations.
When will I receive more information about my week of camp?
You will receive information from Camp HBC regarding the details, schedule and a packing list later in the Spring/Summer. Week specific information is sent out one week before the start of the specific camp.
What should I do if I have questions or concerns?
Do not hesitate to reach out! We would be happy to hear from you and answer any questions you may have. For registration and payment inquiries, you can contact our church office by email (quickest response time). If you have questions about programming, volunteering or anything else, email our Camp Director.
