Bar Harbour Camp

Meet the Board of Directors

The Bar Harbour Camp Board of Directors are committed to making Bar Harbour Camp a safe, fun, and inclusive space for all.

Ryan Koehli

Ryan Koehli has been involved in Bar Harbour Camp in a variety of roles including camper, counsellor, volunteer and a member of the Board. He is currently the Treasurer and is mostly involved behind the scenes to help make all the pieces fall together. He enjoys time spent at Buffalo Lake and believes the camp helps people become the best they can be.


Verna Rock

Our family spoke so highly of Grandpa Holder (Fred Holder) who lived with my grandparents Mary and Earl Lagore and family during his last years. He had a cabin on the property for several years, but in his declining years he moved into their home. He opened his heart to the community. With leaving his land of Bar Harbour, to the United Church, it was his hope to maintain this land for the betterment and enjoyment of children in our district and surrounding areas. And now 50 years later, as a director for Bar Harbour Camp, I get to see the happiness of the kids that are coming to camp each week. Come and see where you might be able to support us with your knowledge, time and camp spirit.

I am Verna Rock, born and raised in the Stettler, Botha area and Bar Harbour has always had a place in my heart, with stories from my grandparents, my mother and her siblings. I feel Mr. Holder will always be a part of my dream to keep his dream alive.



Helen Reed

Helen Reed has been involved with Bar Harbour Camp for about 20 years. She has been Director, Program provider, Emergency cabin counsellor, God Talk and chaplain, Cook, Taxi, Toilet Cleaner and much more. She has been a member of the Camp Board of Directors for many years taking on the roles of secretary and registrar.



Darielle Rairdan

Darielle is the third generation of her family to attend Bar Harbour Camp. Camp is something Darielle has always held very close to her as she attended every summer as a camper for 12 years and returned as staff for many years as a Leader in Training, Program Counsellor, Assistant Director, and Director. She has been an active member behind the scenes for several years on the Youth Camp Committee, as a board member, and is now the chair of our Fundraising Committee. Her ultimate goal being on the board is to create programming in an atmosphere that can make camp a welcoming and unforgettable experience for all campers and staff. When Darielle isn't at camp she is working as a registered provisional psychologist!




Joey Kelly

Joey Kelly has been a dedicated part of our camp family for over a decade, beginning as a camper at the age of 10. Since turning 18, Joey has been an active member of the camp staff and is now an integral part of our board, focusing on maintenance and serving on the youth camp committee. His hands-on approach and deep connection to the camp make him a valued resource in ensuring the camp remains a welcoming and well-maintained environment for all.

Passionate about community and supporting future generations, Joey is committed to providing a space where young people can learn, grow, and create lasting memories. Outside of his work with the camp, Joey is also involved in the world of Live Action Role-Playing (LARP), where he is a proud member of the Red Stags of Red Deer LARP group.

Joey’s experience, enthusiasm, and dedication to both the camp and the community help shape a positive, enriching environment for everyone involved.
