There's room for one more.

​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

This summer, we’re inviting you to bring someone into that experience. ​Invite a friend (or family), and as a thank you, you'll both receive a credit of up to $150.
  • Half Blast campers receive $75
  • Full Week youth campers receive $150
  • Family Camp families receive $150
  • Grandparent & Grandchild Camp families receive $100​
  • Ordinary Time guests receive $50/registration

​There’s room around the campfire for one more. 
​
​See the information below for all the details! ​
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
​
​There’s room for one more.
​​
→ Copy this blurb and send it to a friend:
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!

ALL THE FINE PRINT ABOUT THE BRING ONE MORE REFERRAL CREDIT:
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.
  • Grandparent & Grandchild Camp referrals apply when a new 2026 family registers for Grandparent & Grandchild Camp and lists another family as their referral. The new family receives $100 off, and the referring family receives a $100 refund or account credit after camp.
  • Ordinary Time referrals apply when a new 2026 Ordinary Time guest, couple, or household registers on or after May 12, 2026, and lists another Ordinary Time guest as their referral. Both the new registration and the referring registration must include two or more nights. The new guest receives $50 off their Ordinary Time registration. After camp, the referring guest receives a $50 refund or account credit. Ordinary Time referrals do not need to attend the same week to qualify.
