For Adults age 55+
An all inclusive program for Senior Adults. This program is “Choose Your Own Adventure,” meaning participants partake in the activities of interest to them. Enjoy three nights/four days of interactive presenters, pontoon rides, paddle sports, pickle ball, Tai Chi, campfires, card games, meaningful worship experiences and as much social time as you want!
2024 was the first year for Evergreen Camp, and participants had a fantastic time! Now our staff can’t wait for our Evergreen campers to return and bring their friends.
This year’s Bible study leader is Deacon Lori Ward, who will lead discussions u
sing the Lutheran Outdoor Ministries curriculum theme: “God’s Word Comes Near.” How does God’s word touch you? How do see yourself in God’s story? As the gospel is the living word, we have so much to share and discover together.
Deacon Lori Ward recently retired from her call as a synod missioner, managing the Lifelong Faith Formation program of the Northern Great Lakes Synod. Born and baptized in L’Anse, she was raised in Quinnesec, confirmed at Calvary Lutheran, and appreciated Christian Education experiences as a learner, teacher, and administrator. As a child, Lori enjoyed camp at Fortune Lake—now her favorite place for synod conferences, retreats and meetings. After graduating from Kingsford High School, she served as a volunteer through the Lutheran Church in the Appalachian Mountain Region. A graduate of Carthage College, she eventually studied at Wartburg Seminary, leading to ordination as an ELCA Minister of Word in Service. For most of her career, Lori worked in communications and community relations for arts organizations, most recently the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville. Five years ago, to live closer to her parents, she returned to the U.P. where she has appreciated opportunities for learning, fellowship, and spiritual growth in our synod.
