JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO CHANGE LIVES

INVEST IN THE GOSPEL GOING FORWARD

I NSI DE DEAR FRIENDS, Lake Geneva Camps and Conferences is so excited to share our theme this year!

“MADE” as in "God has made us new in Christ to do the great things that He has planned for us." We will be diving in to study creation, the fall, and redemption. We will be embracing God’s purpose for our lives, and we are going to have a lot of fun growing and learning together! At camp, there are countless opportunities to get handson experience with creation and creating.

We are a place set apart for life-changing experiences in Christ and this year’s theme really sets us up for incredible things. So join us, and bring your friends (and be ready to make new friends!) as we help make this one of the best summers of your life.

My son went for a week last summer as a Day Camper. He asked if he could go all summer. This summer we are sending him for three weeks.

INVEST IN ETERNAL DECISIONS For almost 70 years, Lake Geneva Camps and Conferences has been able to impact lives thanks to donors like you. If you're looking to invest where the Gospel goes forward and lives are changed, then camp is a perfect channel to achieve your mission. Together, we can provide a platform free of distraction and full of the love of God. Here are four ways you can generously change lives...

Set the stage through Capital Giving.

There can be no camp programs without our camp grounds. When you contribute to the Capital Improvements of Lake Geneva Camps and Conferences you are helping to create a safe, clean, and distraction-free environment where the Gospel can be heard most clearly. Gifts that have gone to our Capital fund ensures that every camper who comes can access spaces and enjoy the full range of our programming. By improving our grounds you are improving the experience of our guests for generations to come.

Join our growing team of monthly supporters!

You can be part of a team of givers who make monthly contributions to our Camp Excellence Fund.

When many hearts are joined together in giving to our ministry, guests can enjoy a first-class experience at an accessible price. Will you join our growing monthly donor team to ensure camp is excellent and affordable?

Help campers in need.

Lake Geneva Youth Camp and Conference Point have built a legacy that ensures campers who want to come to camp, can. There are many campers who, for a variety of reasons, cannot afford the lifechanging experiences of Camp. We never want to make financial challenges an obstacle too great to overcome. When you generously give to our Camper Sponsorship Fund you become a hero to families in need. Donors like you have allowed us to meet the financial needs of our campers for almost 70 years.

If you are looking for an investment that introduces children in need to the love of God, this is the opportunity for you.

Gifts of all kinds.

The Lord Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6 that we should "not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."

When you look at all the material things you have built up over the years, are you overwhelmed? Would you like to simplify your life and in the process make an eternal impact? Consider a Gift-In-Kind contribution to camp. From cars, to recreational experiences, sports equipment, and ping-pong tables, many within our camp family have given out of their abundance to help further the ministry of camp.

Do not let things of value rust away. Reach out to us and together we can turn material possession into eternal significance.

G AP YEAR

FIND YOUR WAY! PSALM 32:8 THE LORD SAYS, "I WILL GUIDE YOU ALONG THE BEST PATHWAY FOR YOUR LIFE. I WILL ADVISE YOU AND WATCH OVER YOU." Pathway is not a "year off," it is an experiential "year on" for students ages 18-25. Participants deepen practical, professional, and personal development skills. Many young people today feel uncertain about their next step in life. This has led many to waste time and resources on a college or career path that is not right for them. They need a chance to assess their priorities, explore the world, and discover their passions.

Pathway is a safe place for students to explore different ministry and work opportunities while gaining personal skills and spiritual maturity.

PATHWAY INCLUDES ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT: Our program provides 12 transferable college credits through Moody Bible Institute's Distance Learning Program.

EMPLOYABLE SKILLS: Participants will learn skills to help them enter, and become competent in, the work force as valued employees.

LIFE SKILLS: Participants will learn and practice the skills they need to thrive on their own.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL: Participants will be exposed to the world through an international trip to Greece led by Moody Bible Institute Staff.

PREVIEW DAYS Get a first-hand look at what your year will look like at one of our preview days.

TWO PROPERTIES SET APART Lake Geneva Camps and Conferences is composed of two separate but specialized properties on Geneva Lake, with Conference Point Center (CPC) located on the northwest end and Lake Geneva Youth Camp (LGYC) located on the east shore. Both properties share in the same mission to provide a place for life-changing experiences in Christ. Staff are united in the way we serve guests and value team, excellence, connection, safety and adventure. Meeting spaces and tasty meals are provided along with your lodging to ensure you make the most of your retreat experience. Please contact us for more information: lgyc.org/retreat-inquiry

Lake Geneva Youth Camp LGYC is tailored toward children and young adults with a variety of lodging and recreation options well-suited for youth. We are approaching our 70th year of ministry soon and are excited about the new partnerships and possibilites on the horizon. Men's groups also really love LGYC due to the activities available to them.

Conference Point Center CPC is perfectly positioned for adult and family retreats with ample cottage type lodging for various family sizes and an abundance of beautiful views from the north shore of Geneva Lake. For 146 years it has existed and been used for ministry, with historical ties to Martin Luther King, Jr., the YWCA, President Roosevelt, and more. It continues to be a peaceful place to get away to rest and relax, or for focused meetings. CPC also offers options for all accessibility levels.

SODERQUIST LODGE

LAKESIDE COMFORT The Soderquist Lodge was designed for adults and families to have an unparalleled experience on our historic Conference Point Center property. The Soderquist Lodge offers a hotel-like experience with lakeside views.

Enjoy private bathrooms, a modern meeting experience, and an accessible layout that will change the way you think about "camp." Soderquist Lodge presents a great opportunity for mid-week retreats!

Accessible for everyone: Our new lodge is ADA compliant, designed with all the comforts of a hotel without any of the distractions.

Spacious guest rooms feature lake or camp views, private bathrooms, and queen beds with modular bunk options for families. The lobby provides a cozy sitting area in front of a welcoming fireplace.

A VIRTUAL TOUR

The new lodge at Conference Point Center was just what we were looking for. It is better than a hotel and right on the lake. Our women's retreat was able to focus on building community and connecting with God. We are so impressed with the facility and cannot wait to return.
