God’s Faithfulness to All Generations
From her youth, Christina remembered “the connection that you never lose” to the people at Fortune Lake, and she longed for that experience again. She values the passing on the teachings of Jesus to her children and the inclusivity of all God’s people.

One Connection at a Time
Coming out of a year of lockdowns and restrictions, Paavo missed both the physical space at Fortune Lake as well as being a part of the community. In the midst of a meaningful Leader-in-Training experience he realized the need to make connections with his campers and to love every person that came to camp.
