Minute for Mission

It’s early morning in the Qu’Appelle Valley. The sun is just starting to rise over the lake, and a group of campers are wrapped in hoodies, still waking up, sitting quietly on the hill for Vespers. For a moment, everything is still. No phones. No pressure. Just the sound of the wind through the trees and the quiet feeling of being exactly where you belong.

This is Lumsden Beach Camp.

Each summer, over 600 children and youth arrive at camp carrying more than just their bags. Some come excited, some nervous, some unsure of where they fit in the world. And within days, something shifts.

They make a friend.

They try something new.

They laugh harder than they have in months.

They begin to feel like themselves again.

Camp is more than canoeing, swimming, and campfire songs, it’s a place where confidence is built, where inclusion is lived, and where young people are reminded that they are valued, exactly as they are.

For many families, camp is also something they couldn’t access without support. Through community partnerships and your generosity, Lumsden Beach Camp works to reduce barriers so that more children, regardless of financial situation, can experience the joy and belonging that camp provides.

Behind every camper’s experience is a team of young leaders, our cabin leaders. Many are teenagers or young adults, giving their whole hearts to this work. They show up early, stay up late, support homesick campers, lead activities, solve problems, and create the magic that makes camp unforgettable.

It’s meaningful work, but it’s also demanding.

This is where you come in.

There are simple, tangible ways you can support Lumsden Beach Camp and the people who make it so special.

Adopt a Cabin <-- Click Here

Help care for the spaces where community happens. Your support can provide updates, supplies, and improvements that ensure cabins remain safe, welcoming, and ready for generations of campers.

Adopt a Cabin Leader  <-- Click Here

Cabin leaders give so much of themselves over the summer. You can support them by creating a small gift basket filled with snacks, self-care items, and an encouraging note. A simple message like “You are making a difference” or “You’ve got this, we’re cheering you on” can mean more than you know during a long, busy week at camp.

Volunteer <-- Click Here

You can also support camp by volunteering at our Camp Clean Up on May 23 from 1–4 pm a hands-on way to give back and help prepare camp for the summer season.

These acts of care, whether big or small, help sustain the spirit of Lumsden Beach Camp.

Because camp changes lives.

It creates connection in a disconnected world. 

It builds resilience in young people who need it most. 

And it reminds all of us what it means to belong.

If you feel called to support this ministry, we invite you to give in a way that feels meaningful to you, whether through Mission & Service, adopting a cabin, or encouraging the leaders who make camp possible.

To learn more or get involved, visit www.lumsdenbeachcamp.com or reach out to Carissa Saftner at: info@lumsdenbeachcamp.com.

Together, we can ensure that this place, this community, continues to thrive for years to come.

Join Us for Camp Clean-Up Day on May 23!

Join Us for Camp Clean-Up Day on May 23!

Summer is getting closer, and that means it is time to get Lumsden Beach Camp ready for another amazing season.

We are inviting our church communities, supporters, and friends of camp to join us for Camp Clean-Up Day on Saturday, May 23 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM.

There is lots to do this year, and we would love all the helping hands we can get. We have a variety of projects to tackle, including painting, outdoor clean-up, organizing, and other jobs to help camp look its best before campers arrive.

We are asking everyone who plans to attend to fill out the sign-up form and choose the type of job they would most like to help with. This will help us prepare supplies and make sure everyone has something meaningful to do.

And of course, no work party is complete without a few treats, so snacks and drinks will be provided.

Camp Clean-Up Day is always a fun way to spend an afternoon. It is a chance to pitch in, enjoy some fresh air, connect with others, and help make camp a welcoming place for the summer ahead.

We hope you will join us on May 23 and be part of getting Lumsden Beach Camp ready for the season.
