Women of the Word
Speakers' Bios
Beth Schmidt is a longtime Precept Bible Study teacher and trainer with Precept Ministries Canada, and is the Teaching Minister at Millarville Community Church, 20 minutes southwest of Calgary, Alberta.
Being first introduced to Precept Ministries in 1987, Beth and her husband, Arnie, raised their 3 daughters doing Precept Bible studies who not only learned the Word, but also how to serve hundreds of pots of coffee to the many Precept students that came to their home.
Beth’s lifelong passion is to help others learn how to get into the Scriptures for themselves and develop a close, intimate and life-changing relationship with the Lord.
Women of the Word
We are Women of the Word – the Word of God – which is unchangeable despite all the changes happening around us. No matter what we face, whether in our personal lives, our communities, our nation or the world, God has promised to be with us. He never changes and through all the changes we face, He remains constant as our Faithful God who is revealed on each precious page of His Word.
This year we will be studying together the Feasts of Israel, their significance to Israel and how each of these feasts are ultimately fulfilled by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Join us as we explore the Scriptures together, learning more about our God, enjoying each other’s company, and growing in our faith.
We look forward to seeing you there,
Beth, Barb and Jan

- What to Bring
- If the camp is required to reduce enrolment in registration for any reason:
- Once we have reached our weekly capacity for participants/staff onsite, a waitlist will be set up and the applicant will be placed on it. If there are sessions that are not full and that the participant is eligible to attend, your registration can be moved to one of those sessions.
- In the event that a camp event is cancelled for any reason, the camp will issue a refund for the value of the fees of the unexpired term.
- If parent/guardian/participant chooses to withdraw their event registration, regular cancellation policies will be in effect:
- If you choose to cancel more than two weeks prior to the start of the event, you will receive the below refunds:
- Cancellations will receive a full refund less the $50/person/retreat non-refundable deposit processed at the time of registration.
- If a cancellation occurs less than two weeks before the start of an event, there will be NO REFUND except for medical reasons confirmed with a note from a doctor. In that case, you will get a full refund less the $50/person/retreat non-refundable deposit processed at the time of registration.
- No refund will be made for dismissals due to disciplinary action, late arrivals, or early departures.
- If a participant is unwell while at camp, and it is determined that withdrawal from the event is required, the camp will credit the participant the value of fees for the unexpired term. Depending on availability, the participant can use their credit to rebook the participant in an alternate current session when they are back to full health. If this is not possible, the camp will issue a refund for the value of the unexpired term or credit the participant for a future event or camp session.
InterVarsity’s Pioneer Camp Alberta cannot guarantee to be a nut/peanut free environment. We do seek to reduce the risk of exposure and therefore do not use or serve peanuts, peanut products, or tree nuts on camp property. Nuts or products containing nuts will not be available in our Tuck Shop(s). However, the food we purchase may contain traces of nut products. Please do not bring any food items with you to camp that contain nut products (this includes chocolate bars, granola bars, etc.). Any items containing nut products will be removed from the camp.
