Derek and Darcie Janzen
Camp Valaqua Site Managers
Derek and Darcie, along with their four children, have called Camp Valaqua home since 2025. They love the community, beauty, and sense of purpose that make camp such a special place. As Site Managers, they enjoy caring for the property, tackling projects both big and small, and finding ways to make camp an even more welcoming place for everyone who visits. From fresh signs and trail markers to improvements around the waterfront, there is always something happening! They look forward to welcoming you to camp and sharing a little of what makes Valaqua special.
