We are often looking for willing individuals and groups to help with projects!

If you have more time than money and are the kind of person who wants to make a difference in people’s lives, consider volunteering at Fortune Lake Lutheran Camp!

Current Needs

The following list contains ongoing project at Fortune Lake.  We are seeking small groups of volunteers to spend a ½ day or a full day helping with these efforts.  We ask that you inform us 2-3 weeks in advance of your arrival so we can prepare for your visit and have all of the necessary equipment and supplies ready for you.  Please call 906-214-2267 or email campdirector@fortunelake.org for more information or to let us know when you’d like to come.

If you are a Thrivent member who has access to Action Team Projects, we welcome those start-up funds for our camp projects.  Please remember that applications must be submitted three weeks prior to project start date.

Thank you for helping us keep Fortune Lake in tip top shape!
