Your Place at Camp

As children count down the last remaining days of school and look ahead to what summer will bring, many are thinking about when they will get to come back to camp. Campers quickly feel at home during their time on site, like they have “found their place.” The sense of belonging and feeling free to be who they are is powerful. Revisiting memories of their favorite counselor from last summer, warm sunshine, the sandy beach, and the fun campfire worships can make it feel like a long wait until they can come back. They can’t wait to be back, and we can’t wait until they are back either!

We rejoice every time a registration comes in, for new or returning campers alike. We also know that this can be a financially hard decision for some parents. Sending a child to camp can be expensive. At Green Lake Lutheran Ministries, we strive to make summer camp as affordable as possible, and we firmly believe that everyone who wants to experience a week at camp should be able to. To help make sure that financial barriers do not keep campers from participating, Green Lake Lutheran Ministries has an established scholarship fund and we receive scholarship applications for assistance. We joyfully accept donations to this fund - and we need your help.

Your gift to the scholarship fund is so much more than a charitable donation. It’s a promise to a young person that they will be welcome back at camp, and invited back into a space where they can learn and grow in their faith. It’s a promise to them that if they want to come and spend a week in “their place”, they can. Because don’t we all deserve to have that place we can land when we need it most? 

You always have a place here at camp.
