Villagers
2026-07-05 08:00 - 2026-07-10 17:00 (America/North_Dakota/Center) | Fortune Lake Lutheran Camp, 138 Fortune Lake Camp Rd., Crystal Falls, MI, 49920, United States
Completed Grades 3-4
Offered:

July 5 – 10
July 12 – 17

Villagers experience a full week at camp. They sleep in bunk beds in our Village cabins with a trained Cabin Leader and a group of other same aged campers. With opportunities for swimming*, boating, playing games, arts-n-crafts, a beach party, and singing songs, campers will stay active from morning ‘til night!
A week as a Villager will help your child grow in faith, build friendships, gain confidence and learn independence. They’ll learn to come together as a group with kids they don’t know while navigating new experiences together. Typical highlights include giggling in the cabin, savoring snacks from the canteen, devouring s’mores at the beach party, and making projects in arts-n-crafts. They will come home with a pile of dirty laundry, sharing stories from camp and the Bible!
*Please note that this is the first program during which campers are eligible to take the swim test. Those who pass have the opportunity to swim in the deep end. It’s a major milestone and achievement for many campers. However, there is still plenty of fun to be had in the shallow end, sand, and on watercraft for campers who do not opt to take the swim test or do not pass. All waterfront users are supervised by certified lifeguards at all times.

Vagabonds
2026-07-05 14:00 - 2026-07-10 11:00
Completed Grades 5-6

Offered:

June 28 – July 1 (Half Week)
July 5 – 10 (Full Week)
July 12 – 17 (Full Week)

Vagabonds experience camp the way it was meant to be – in the great outdoors! Vagabonds sleep in rustic* treehouses outfitted with bunk beds. Our Vagabond program teaches valuable skills about living in community. Campers gain self-esteem and confidence as they help to prepare many of their own meals over an open fire. Ask any Vagabond about their treehouse group’s Vagland stew… I bet it was the best! Vagland is is also home to Fortune Lake’s gaga pit and carpetball game, so many hours are spent honing their skills.
Highlights of the program include a tube trip on the Paint River (conditions permitting), Vagland chapel services, and special night games. Treehouses fill up quickly for this popular program!
*Vagland has a pavilion and attached bathhouse with eletricity, hot running water, and toilets.

Mash Up
2026-07-05 15:00 - 2026-07-08 11:00
Completed Grades 4-8
Want to try youth camp, but still feeling a little tentative? Finding that your summer schedule makes it difficult to sneak away for five nights? This three-night program is perfect for those extra busy kids, or for campers who want a taste of Fortune Lake but aren’t ready for the full week experience.
Campers enjoy all that our various camp programs have to offer, all mashed up together! They’ll swim, create, play, hike, and do Bible activities as a group. They’ll get the highlights of other major programs including a tube trip on the Paint River, campfire cooking, and an opportunity to interact with the Vagabonds, who are the other big kids onsite.
Mash Up campers will stay two nights in duplex cabins, which have in-cabin bathrooms and a gathering space. They’ll have one special tenting overnight on a more rustic section of Fortune Lake’s property. This allows the campers to get the best of both worlds! Three nights as a mash up camper will leave campers feeling more confident and self-assured, and likely asking to come back to camp next year!

Mini Camp
2026-07-05 15:00 - 2026-07-08 11:00
Completed Grades 2-3

Experience three awesome nights at camp as a great introduction to Fortune Lake! Campers sleep in bunk beds in Village cabins with a trained Cabin Leader and a small group of cabin mates. They enjoy the shallow end at the waterfront (under the supervision of certified lifeguards), create crafts, play group games, sing songs, things, make friends, and gain confidence, all while learning about Jesus!
This is a great first taste of camp (or a next step after Mighty Ones) for those who are gaining independence. They can come on their own or with a friend… there will be plenty of new friends waiting to welcome campers when they arrive. The program keeps campers moving, and they usually want to try the full week next time!
The program will close with a short celebration of what the campers have learned, and families are encouraged to attend.
