Trail Mix Camp is impossible without leadership and volunteer helpers! At Trail Mix Camp, we have the following categories of leaders:

​

Trail Mix Camp Committee (TMCC)​

​

Trail Mix Camp Committee (TMCC) is responsible for providing leadership for the entire camp. 

​

Pastor: Arthur Wong

I have been Jaffray's full-time English pastor since 2004, coincidentally the same year we launched our first Trail Mix Camp. Since then, we have had Trail Mix camp almost every summer at Jaffray. Trail Mix Camp is a wonderful opportunity for us to minister to children and their families, as well as invest in the lives of many youths who work for the camp. I am excited to see what God has planned this summer!

​

Pastor: Gabriel Ng

Hi there! My family and I have been attending Jaffray church since I was very young.  In my twenties, God called me to pursue seminary studies. I became Jaffray's full-time pastor in 2015, since then my focus has been on youth and outreach. I love working with people, particularly those who are on the margins of society. I am very much looking forward to spending time with the kids at Trail Mix and working with our staff and volunteers!    

​

Camp Director: Alwin Ly

Hi! My name is Alwin Ly and I'm 17 years old. I have been a part of Jaffray for 10 years. I was born in Scarborough, Toronto and will be graduating high school this year and attending Western University under the faculty of science in September. My hobbies include: playing sports, exercising, going to cafes and playing board games with friends. I serve many leadership roles such as team captains on several of my sports teams, assistant coach of my softball team, chair of my youth fellowship, and vice president of my school's athletic council. I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to serve as camp director as it gives me the chance to exercise my leadership skills, but most importantly, guide youth to come to know Jesus Christ. I have the utmost faith in the Lord that he will provide, guide, strengthen the leadership team. I can't wait to discover what he has in store for us! 

​

Camp Leader: Benjamin Lee

Hey! My Name is Benjamin Lee, I'm 16 years old and by the time summer ends, I'll be in grade 11. I've been attending Jaffary ever since grade 7, starting in Hosanna, our youth fellowship program. Through my time at Jaffary I've come to serve in many ways from Hosanna Planning Committee to Sunday Worship Team. In addition, I also have served as a volunteer for Trail Mix the year prior and due to the amazing time spent, I decided to apply for a leadership position this summer camp. I look forward to meeting you all!

​

Camp Leader: Tiffany Siu

Hi everyone! I am Tiffany. I am a grade 12 student. I have been attending Jaffray since I was a baby. I presently serve as a Promiseland Teacher on Sundays, teaching young toddlers. I've been a camper at Trail Mix when I was young, and I look forward to sharing the same laughter, fun, and love of God I experienced at the camp. In my spare time, I enjoy playing sports and enjoying good food.

Camp Leader: Odelia Chan

Hi, I am Odelia. I am an undergraduate student, a born-again Christian, and sister to seven energetic siblings.  I love teaching and working with children.  I live on a hobby farm north of Toronto, and love it! My passions include singing, writing, teaching, and helping others grow closer to God.  I am looking forward to working with the children at the amazing Trail Mix Camp!
