Testimonials

This place is awesome! We host our youth camp here every year and it is simply amazing. The grounds are great, the staff are super friendly and accommodating but the food is the real superstar here. I have had quite my share of camp experiences and the food is always one of the worst things at camps but at GBCC, they go all out. They don't only care about the spiritual well-being of people but also about their physical well-being. If you are looking for a place that serves junk food, keep looking because you won't find it here.

Philippe Jean

Our church loved this place. We had a weekend retreat here in the winter and it was great for all ages. The staff was very accommodating and the kitchen crew kept us all happily fed. The bedrooms were clean and nicely kept. Decor is a little dated for the rooms, but to me it's part of the charm. We will be coming back again.

Mark Cerezo

This camp was amazing! Such a great team of people they have here! Making everyone feel safe and welcome! Great food too!

Natasha Grypstra

Great food, wonderful service by the conference centre staff, and lovely grounds and facilities. The cabin I was in was very clean and there's lots to do there for children and adults.

Norman Van Eeden Petersman

The grounds are beautifully groomed and the facilities are very well maintained. I was impressed with the variety of activities available on-site! The Century Lodge is amazing. The old parlour has an exhibit featuring the history of GBCC, the Guelph Bible School (and Emmaus Bible College), and GBCC's connection to churches in the area. A lot of cool old photos!
