Rooted in Christ, Lakeside is a place of belonging for all people to find joy and purpose in God's creation.

2022 Summer Theme

Boundless: God BEYOND Measure

“I pray that you and all of God’s People will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. I want you to know all about Christ’s love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all the God is.” Ephesians 3:18-19

We are bound. Bound by our sin, by the expectations of others, by poverty, by -isms that try to divide us, and by so much more. In a life that often feels as if it has young people in a suffocating grip, we want them to imagine the boundlessness of God: boundless love, boundless creation, boundless forgiveness, boundless invitation, boundless promise. All offered from a gracious and loving God who knows and adores them. All so abundant and endless it cannot be measured.

Free Respite Stay

Lakeside strives to be a resource for congregations, pastors, families, youth, and individuals. By utilizing our space, acres of wilderness, lake access, comfortable lodging, and radical hospitality we can offer church leaders a chance to get away, relax, and refill their cups. 

Every year, church leaders are given two free nights. Stays can be extended for a discount. Spouses and families are welcome too. Guests should bring their own food, pillows, and personal hygiene supplies. Guests will have access to a full kitchen, fireplace, and all modern amenities.

Volunteer At Lakeside

We’re so thankful for all of our volunteers here at Lutheran Lakeside Camp! Without the consistent hard work of the faithful servants of God we would not be where we are today. So, thank you for your interest in volunteering with us and we look forward to connecting with you further!

Volunteers are needed all year and can help for a few hours, a few days or a whole week. Some volunteers come regularly and help 10 or  more hours a week.

Whatever your interest or skill is we can find a way to put it to use at Lakeside. Volunteers get to pick what they help with. They can pick from property jobs (mowing, painting, building), program jobs (leading worship, crafts, games, staff training), kitchen help, house keeping, or office work.
