90 Years of Ministry. A Growing Legacy
Since 1935, Lake Lundgren Bible Camp has been a place set apart—a sacred space where lives are transformed by the love of Jesus Christ. For 90 years, campers have heard the Gospel, made lifelong friendships, and experienced the joy of growing in their faith surrounded by God’s beautiful creation.
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re not just looking back with gratitude—we’re looking forward with vision. The mission hasn’t changed. But our calling to serve future generations compels us to grow, build, and dream boldly.
Honoring the Past
Celebrating the first 90+ years
Lake Lundgren Bible Camp has always been a testimony to God’s faithfulness—from fifty campers in 1935 to more than 5,000 annual guests in recent years. For more than ninety years people have prayed, given, and served so that lives could be transformed by the gospel at Camp.
Every building tells a story. Every trail holds a memory. Every campfire echoes with songs of praise. Camp has grown and touched so many lives because God has continually and abundantly provided through His people.
As we honor the past, we celebrate the legacy of faith, sacrifice, and vision that brought us here—trusting that God, who guided our founders, will boldly lead us forward.

Following God’s leading: bold steps of obedience and giant leaps of faith
Now is the time!
Helping Young Hearts Find and Follow Jesus
Young people are the heartbeat of the Church, now—not merely in the future. Right now, that heartbeat is pulsing with openness. According to Barna’s 2025 data, 77% of U.S. teens say they are motivated to continue learning about Jesus—including 52% who are very motivated. That interest can be beautifully nurtured—but without intentional discipleship, many drift away. Nearly two‑thirds of young adults who grew up in church disengage in their twenties. Moreover, around two‑thirds of adult Christians first placed their faith in Christ before age 18, and about 43% before age 13. Reaching youth now isn’t about filling pews—it’s about laying spiritual foundations that last. At Lake Lundgren Bible Camp, those foundations have been laid for nearly a century—generation after generation returning to grow deeper in faith, serve with purpose, and pass on a legacy of discipleship.
Camp is where faith, fun, and fellowship come together in the beauty of God’s creation

Partnering in generosity, witnessing God’s faithfulness
Every week at Lake Lundgren Bible Camp, campers make decisions that echo into eternity—choosing Christ, pursuing missions, and surrendering more fully to Him. Yet each year, interest exceeds capacity—a clear reminder of the hunger for truth and the opportunity before us.
The Legacy Campaign will change that by greatly increasing capacity so more young people can encounter the gospel in a Christ-centered, family-oriented environment. Plans include new cabins, a chapel, expanded dining, and more. More campers mean more gospel conversations—and greater eternal impact. This isn’t just about buildings; it’s about souls. Every gift becomes tomorrow’s testimony.
“I committed my life to Jesus at lake lundgren and I want to make sure others have the same opportunity, for generations to come.” -LLBC Volunteer
