Intergenerational Camps Speakers

/in /by

We are so excited to introduce our Intergenerational Camp resource people for Summer 2022!

June 19-24

Intergenerational Full-Week & Half-Week

Speaker: Anna M. Madsen

Anna M. Madsen, Lutheran pastor and public theologian, is host of the Spent Dandelion Theological Retreat Center, situated along the North Shore in Two Harbors, Minnesota, and the creator of OMG: Center for Theological Conversation, through which she writes, blogs, consults, and presents. Her work can be found regularly in Gather Magazine and the Living Lutheran.

Her most recent book I Can Do No Other: The Church’s New Here We Stand Moment addresses the call to speak not just to justification but to justice, and her forthcoming book Joyful Defiance: Death Does Not Win The Day, also through Fortress Press, seeks to ground the experience of joy within the experience of lament, leading to a life which echoes the holy truth of Holy Saturday.

Amazon Wishlist

/in /by

As summer draws closer, we are asking for your help in fulfilling our Amazon Wishlist. All kinds of supplies are needed–including but not limited–to notebooks, crayons, and glue. These supplies will be used in Bible Studies and Cabin Times to help limit the sharing of materials during this time. We’re also looking for additional outdoor play equipment.

Take a look at our Wishlist and see if there’s anything that you’d be interested in sending us.

It’s with help from wonderful people like you that we’ll be able to have the best summer ever!

Paul Oman Watercolor Print for Sale

/in /by

We have great news! Paul Oman has painted a gorgeous original watercolor of Fortune Lake in the fall, and we have a limited edition of prints for sale!

The piece was designed from a compilation of photographs taken by our previous Camp Intern, Lance Crevier. Paul perfectly captured the serenity of Fortune Lake in the fall. His image contains the cross, the chapel, and some deer in the field, all surrounded by the glory of God’s northwoods in its autumn splendor!

The painting would make a perfect statement piece to commemorate FLLC’s 90th anniversary, or consider purchasing one as a special gift. 25% of each purchase will go back to the ministry of Fortune Lake!

How to Purchase

Prints can be purchased directly from Paul by completing the order form and mailing it to Paul Oman Fine Art, 1001 20th Ave. Deer Park, WI 54007 -or- by ordering directly from his website.

Live Stream Kickoff

Join us for a LIVE stream with the artist Paul Oman on Tuesday, November 10 at 7pm Central on our Facebook page.

We’ll learn about Paul’s ministry, his connection to Fortune Lake, and what inspires his work. There will be opportunities to ask questions of Paul, and we’ll share details on the ordering process.

Those who order within the first 48 hours after the livestream will be entered into a drawing for a FLLC Canteen Gift Basket valued at $60!

Until we can meet again, we look forward to gathering in new and creative ways, and we send you loads of Grace & Peace!!!

Coming Soon: Virtual Camp Experiences!

/in /by

Here at Fortune Lake, we remain so excited to connect with campers and help them grow in their relationships with God, one another, and their broader communities! We are launching virtual program opportunities that will be free to the public and available to ALL! We’re preparing for live campfires, fun arts-n-crafts projects, ways to explore God’s creation in your own backyard, and even a live virtual talent show!

Programs will kick off on June 14 with the opening of our online Canteen (camp store). Then, each Monday, you’ll have opportunity to experience the Bible in new ways through our Monday Morning Devotions. Each week, a new program will be available to you, right in your own home! Through it all, you’ll be reminded of God’s love for YOU and see familiar faces from many generations of camping at Fortune Lake.

Feel free to invite your friends, family, and neighbors to participate right along with you. We can’t wait to see you online!

More information coming soon!
