Remember all the fun we had at camp this summer?

Here’s a little look back at some of the memories we made, across Dakotas United Methodist Camps and Camp Minnesota, while experiencing Christ, Creation, and Community together.

We can’t wait to do it all again next summer!

If you know someone who would love camp, now is the perfect time to invite them along! Whether it’s a sibling, cousin, teammate, neighbor, or friend from church, bringing someone new to camp can make the experience even more meaningful.

And there’s a bonus for sharing the adventure: our Bring-a-Friend Discount has doubled! Campers receive $50 off their registration for each new camper they bring to a Dakotas UM Camps program at Storm Mountain Center, Lake Poinsett Camp & Living Waters Retreat Center, and Wesley Acres Camp & Retreat Center. (New campers are those who have not attended a Camp Minnesota event in the past three years.)

Bring-a-Friend for double the fun and $50 off your program fee at Wesley Acres Camp & Retreat Center, Lake Poinsett Camp & Living Waters Retreat Center, and Storm Mountain Center!

The Bring-a-Friend Discount has doubled! Campers will now receive $50 off the price of their camp for each new camper that they bring to camp! (New campers are those who have not been to any Dakotas UMC Camps event in the past three years)

We believe every camper should have access to the joy, adventure, friendship, and faith-building community of camp. That’s why we offer discounts, incentives, and need-based camperships to help make camp possible for more families.

Camperships are designed to work alongside support from local churches, family contributions, and other sources to help cover the cost of one camp program each year.

If you've met Blake, you know how much energy and joy he brings to camp! He shared with us one of the top things he has learned during his time on camp staff:

"What I've learned from working at camp is how to build relationships with people from any age. You work with a wide variety of people and it's all great. I love to see new faces and get to know them."

These are skills and relationships you'll carry for the rest of your life!
If you’ve been holding out for a meaningful opportunity this summer, it’s worth exploring what time on camp staff has to offer.

We have a few open summer staff positions at Storm Mountain Center, Wesley Acres Camp & Retreat Center, and Lake Poinsett Camp & Living Waters Retreat Center.

With programs for all ages, strong Christian community, and plenty of time outdoors, camp is a special place where lasting faith and friendships grow. Sessions are already filling and Early Bird savings end tonight.
