​Some of the best moments at camp happen when they’re shared.

     🎶 a song passed around the fire
     😆 a laugh that won’t stop
     🌿 an unhurried moment
     🗣️ a conversation that matters

How It Works
​Camp has always grown through relationships—friends inviting friends, families sharing something meaningful. The 'One More'  referral is a simple way to help someone experience camp for the first time. Here's how it works:
​​
  1. Invite - Share camp with a friend, neighbor, or family member who hasn’t been before.
  2. They Register - Your friend signs up for Youth Camp, Family Camp, Grandparent & Grandchild Camp, or Ordinary Time and lists your name at registration.
  3. You Both Get A Credit - Once their registration is confirmed, they'll receive a discount on their camp week.  After camp, you'll receive a refund applicable to your camp week.
👨‍👩‍👧 For Current Families & Guests

​You already know what camp can mean. Now you get to invite someone else into it.

Think about:
  • A friend your child would love to come with
  • A neighbor who’s been curious about camp
  • Another family who could use a week like this
​

Hey! I wanted to share something we love—camp. It’s been such a meaningful experience for our family, and I thought of you because I think you’d really enjoy it too. There’s a referral program this year where we both get a $ credit if you register and mention our name.  If you’re even a little curious check it out at gllm.org/one-more.  I’d love to tell you more or share our experience!

Camp is better when it’s shared. Right now, registered campers and families may invite new campers or families to join them at camp.
  • Youth Camp referrals apply when a new 2026 camper registers for an eligible youth camp program and lists another camper as their referral. The new camper receives $150 off a full-week, overnight program or $75 off a half-week program. After camp, the referring camper receives the same amount as a refund or account credit.
  • Family Camp referrals apply when a new 2026 family registers for Family Camp or Pastor's Family Camp and lists another family as their referral. The new family receives $150 off, and the referring family receives a $150 refund or account credit after camp.
