Meet the Staff
Don and Charlotte Roe Directors |
Don started counselling at camp in 1975 and loved it so much he returned every summer until 1985, when he married Charlotte the day camp ended. They met at Providence Seminary where Don was working on his Masters in Christian Education and Charlotte expressed her love of children while ministering with Northern Canada Evangelical Mission. During the next 20 years Don worked in the North End of Winnipeg with children who had emotional, intellectual or behavioural problems. Don and Charlotte have been directing Gimli since 2006. Don encourages the staff and passes on the knowledge and experience he has gained over the years. Charlotte is in charge of the kichen. | |||
