The Annual Quilt Auction is Green Lake Lutheran Ministries' largest fundraiser of the year - and a great time! Every year, over 200 quilts and Silent Auction items are donated and then auctioned off to support the ministry happening at camp. Under a tent on the shores of Green Lake over the course of a weekend, guests and donors enjoy the auction, meals, homemade doughnuts, live music and more. Tens of thousands of dollars are raised in an afternoon, supporting the ministry of GLLM. This event has created memories for so many staff alumni, camper families, neighbors, and donors over the years.
If you are interested in supporting this event or volunteering, please contact Kirsten Palan, Director of Development, at 320-796-2181 or kpalan@gllm.org!

2022 fund-a-need: new camp bus
|
With three sites spread across the state of Minnesota, we often need to transport campers and retreat guests from one site to another. During the summer months, campers and staff make weekly trips to and from Green Lake Bible Camp in Spicer and Camp House, north of Two Harbors. These bus rides can be a fun time for fellowship, but our bus has become increasingly uncomfortable and unsafe in the past few years, making for a less than fun experience…
We take camper and retreat guest safety very seriously. After many years and miles on the road, it was time to retire the old green bus, as it no longer met our standards for safety. This past spring, we purchased a new camp bus in partnership with Faith Lutheran Church in Spicer! This was an urgent, unbudgeted purchase as the summer camp season was just around the corner! This new bus is much more comfortable, with cushy seats and undercarriage luggage compartments, and provides a safer ride for campers and retreat guests. This new blue bus is going to play a vital role in providing a safe and memorable experience for our summer campers! The 2022 Fund-A-Need broke our previous records, totaling $27,982.64! We are so thankful for your incredible generosity and support! |
