Synod-appointed Advisor
Marie McIntosh
PYPS all started somewhere in the 80's for Marie. She came to PYPS as a teen because she wanted to meet people from across Ontario. What made her want to return, were all the amazing like-minded Christian young people that she met at PYPS. These friendships were just one of her favorite things and the speakers who gave knowledge and food for thought served to help her faith grow. PYPS in ways incorporates parts of summer camp, but was in some ways better than camp, because she knew that the people she met along the way would remain her friends for life.
Now returning as an Advisor for PYPS, Marie wants to support the Executive in building retreats where people can unite in Christian mindfulness and build knowledge of faith and fellowship of friendship that will last for their lives.
Outside of PYPS, Marie is a mom of three kids and they have a family dog. She works and lives in Perth County. Her passions are gardening and long days at the beach.

Executive-appointed Advisor
Abigail Clark
Abbey has been a member of PYPS since the fall of 2006. She originally joined because she made incredible friends at the conference, Canada Youth, and they recommended she come to PYPS. Abbey not only found a renewed faith in God while at PYPS, but a place in a community where she felt she belonged. Her favourite thing about PYPS our the surprising moments: be they fun and humorous from a game being played, to the colours in the sky at a sunset service during May Camps, or the conversations that bring those together in friendship and in faith.
This year, Abbey will be serving as a General Advisor to the Executive of PYPS. She will bring her skills as a former exec member, as well as being a teacher, to continue the development of the current Executive's Leadership skills.
When outside of PYPS, Abbey enjoys her work as a supply teacher, walking her two beautiful huskies, and being a hardcore YouTube/ Netflixer.
Something you might as well know sooner than later about Abbey is that she LOVES Disney. Not only can she quote/sing from almost any Disney movie, she used to work there and perfected her Mickey Mouse impression. Be warned: if you want to know more about her magical adventures she will happily regale you of them for hours on end.
