Quaker Haven Camp Mission Statement
Quaker Haven offers a Christ-centered place of hospitality and service that demonstrates the love
of Jesus to Young Friends of Indiana and Western Yearly Meetings, the wider Friends’ community, and
others whom God entrusts to our care.
Philosophy of Ministry
Guests come to Quaker Haven to learn, worship, serve, relax, and fellowship. God uses time spent
at Quaker Haven to speak into the lives of His children. It is our ministry to provide for the
physical needs of guests to remove distractions in order that God may remain their sole focus. The
appearance of the buildings and grounds, comfort of the furnishings, and quality of the food all
contribute to the camp and retreat experience. Therefore we shall strive to meet standards, exceed
expectations, and continually seek improvement in all we do. We understand that the camp and
retreat ministry requires a commitment of time and devotion beyond the demands of secular
employment, but we are motivated by the joy of service to our Lord. This attitude with which we
serve is equally as important as a testimony to our guests, volunteers, and support staff.
The Future
QHC started as a summer-only Quaker youth camp 100 years ago. It has grown into a year-round
operation providing a spiritual retreat with the Quaker youth camping remaining a priority. The
board and staff have developed a Master Plan to expand QHC’s capacity for youth camp and the
retreat facilities. The next director will need to be the leader in implementing the master plan
and developing the resources that will fully utilize the expanded capacity.
Compensation:
Salary for the Executive Director position will be between $60,000-$70,000 plus housing or a
