July 5-11 Ministers in Residence
​

Pastors Jennifer and Daryl Thul are currently serving in the ACT Parish northwest of Willmar, MN. Their eight grandchildren call them Nana and The Granddad, and for the past several years, they have held ‘Cousin Camp’ in August for the entire mob during VBS week. Jennie and Daryl met in Munich, Germany when they were both in the Army. Both grew up in Minnesota, but they had to go to the other side of the world to meet each other! Connecting with others and building community is at the heart of their shared ministry. Jennifer taught elementary school for many years and has a gift for reaching out to people who are hurting or feeling alone. Daryl, who retired from the military in 2022, is good at using language about God and the Bible that don’t make people feel stupid. Both would say that they are Kindergarten Jesus teachers. In other words, they try to keep it simple and fun.

July 19-22 Ministers in Residence
​

Paul & Susan Wold Rohde return for their fourth grandparent camp--and they love it as much as their grandkids!  It checks all the boxes--time outdoors, time together, great songs, worship, prayer, laughter, treats, and new friends--all of it surrounded in the beauty of God's creation. Paul is a pastor and Susan a deacon, currently serving at Transfiguration Lutheran in Bloomington. They also love to volunteer at the Minnesota Orchestra, travel, camp, cook, and read.

ordinary time 

Camp House  
Sometimes we yearn for routine, an ordinary rhythm to our day or week. 
The simple fact is that life is busy, yet there is value in slowing down, taking a breath, and being fully present with the people around you. 

We find ourselves seeking places and spaces that offer rest, connection, and renewal. Ordinary Time, a faith-centered rhythm at Camp House provides this and so much more. 

Each day you’ll encounter opportunities for learning, creating, playing, and being. Devotions and worship are woven with times of conversation, education and artistic classes, reading on the beach, canoeing around Lake George, or exploring sights along the North Shore. 

Camp House will be on Ordinary Time for five weeks this summer. Pastors, musicians, artists, and educators will inspire participants' spiritual and creative sides, guiding all those present into an intentional Christian community. Camp House staff will offer opportunities to take part in the uniqueness of this beautiful site - daily saunas, games on the ball field, pizza in the brick oven, and evening fellowship in the lodge.
