 You, our volunteers are such a blessing to the ministry and to the children we serve!  Please pray that the Lord would  give us wisdom, protection, discernment, endurance, creativity, love, and alertness. Also, pray for every detail of camp, including preparations, finances, and physical needs.

We enjoy receiving MAIL AT CAMP and we encourage you to write to:
LWBC - Attn: [Your Child’s Name],
34319 Living Word Trl,
Grand Rapids, MN  55744.

To ensure letters arrive during camp, you may need to mail it before your child leaves home. Do not mail packages that won’t fit in a mailbox. We will not be able to return mail that arrives after your child has left camp.
Emails can be sent to:  registration@lwbcmn.org, please put “For [your child’s name]” in the subject line. Phones are for emergency use, do not expect to call your child during camp.

Clothing: Activities include life-guarded swimming, paddle-boarding, canoeing/kayaking, and fishing. Please use care in choosing your child’s wardrobe for camp. Our goal is neatness and modesty. Especially for physically mature campers, we ask that you not bring sloppy, low slung (underwear revealing), tight-fitting, or low-cut clothing. No bikinis or bare tummy swimsuits for girls, or Speedo-type suits for guys. Don’t ask “What’s wrong with this?” Instead, ask “What can I wear that would set a good example and be honoring to Christ?”  

Ministry Safe is not required for FIT, but full time staff and counselors are required to complete it every 2 years. If you would like to complete the optional Ministry Safe training click this link to complete the video course.
Please be aware Ministry Safe deals with sensitive issues such as sexual abuse, please have a parent present during the process.
