“Did you have fun at camp?” I �nd myself asking this question whenever I talk to someone who has been to Lake Lundgren before.

It’s true: camp is a fun place. We have unique activity areas, camp-wide games, and loads of other things to do that are, well...FUN! It helps that I am an activity and game junkie, always looking for something new and di�erent for our campers to experience. But there’s more to camp than just the fun. �ere’s also more to camp than the ridiculously delicious food and very well-kept facilities.

So what could be better than great food, nice buildings and fun activities? Great question - I’m glad you asked! Here are a few of the things we’ve seen this summer that will have lasting impact long a�er the emotions and memories of camp have le�:

Over 1,270 campers came and made godly friendships with their cabin mates. Nearly 50% accepted the gi� of salvation or rededicated their lives to Christ! Over $2500 was raised by the campers for a local Christian homeless shelter.

So what happens from here? We can’t really know anything for sure, but like it says in 2 Corinthians 9:18, God has shown that He is ABLE...in bringing nearly 200 additional campers to Lake Lundgren this summer, in calling so many of those campers to follow Him, in sending the staggering number of volunteers to make camp run, and in providing the strength and endurance for our sta� to �nish strongly. Keep us at camp in your prayers as we keep our eyes on the cross and point people to Christ throughout the year.

Our �anks! Don, Doug, and Luke put in many hours of hard work. Many volunteers from the camp family gave loving labor. A team from MMAP gave six weeks of volunteer work. 204 camp families gave f inancial gi�s. Many, many gave the gi� of prayer.

�e new In�rmary was able to be used the last two weeks of summer camp and the gi�s given have covered the cost of completing this phase of the project. Our thanks to the Lord! Join us for a dedication of the In�rmary at our Annual Celebration on October 11th

and see what God has accomplished.

�e Next Phase... (see picture below)Turn this un�nished room on the back of the in�rmary into another housing room for 6-7 cooks in the summer and guests the rest of the year - $9,500 needed.

Retreats at Camp!Living together with other Godly people brings a closeness that you can’t experience in an hour on Sunday morning. At camp you have the bene�t of a relaxed environment where you don’t have to shovel down fast-food en route to the next event.

Being a part of a community, even though it’s temporary, means that you are able to be honest and relax with other people. You are able to work together toward a common goal and experience spiritual growth as you allow others to speak truth into your life. Our Winter and Spring Retreats are very diverse. �e ladies at Cra�ers Retreat wouldn’t dream of going on the Winter Camp-ing trip. �e teens experience something totally di�erent than the Couples will. �ere is certainly diversity between retreats but also much in common. Don’t just take our word for it, try it out for yourself!

More detailed information about all of our retreats can be found at www.llbc.org

What is Winterfest like? Some might say that Winterfest is like a nice tall glass of water when you’ve been out in the sun all day. Refreshing!Others might say that Winterfest is like a pair of spiritual jumper cables. Shocking!Still others might say that Winterfest is like �nding $20 in your pocket. Exciting!

Come and �nd out if you agree, or if you have a totally di�erent answer. Either way you can expect to eat good food, participate in some crazy activities and be challenged to grow in your faith.

Our Program Director Sponz will be the Bible Teacher during the daily chapel sessions. If you are in 6th-12th grade, sign up and have a blast with us during your Christmas break.
