Comparative SDACC Camporee Report from 1999-2019
Above is a comparative report that shows the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Canada's registration numbers from 1999 to 2019. Through the years, we have seen a significant increase in Canadian attendance and participation at camporees held in Oshkosh, WI. By God's grace, as we join the 2024 International Pathfinder Camporee in Gillette, WY, we hope to exceed our 2019 number by at least 10% as far as attendance is concerned.
