Summer 2021 at Bay Lake Camp
Change Again During Our 95th Year
As Bay Lake Camp begins preparations for hosting its 95th year of camps and retreats, we are pleased to announce the continued participation of diverse organizations bringing young people and families to experience our unique island wilderness setting. Emphasizing safety, Bay Lake Camp continues to be a place identified by our welcome and hospitality for all people – and will watch carefully the COVID-19 guidelines for the State of Minnesota. As of May 28th, face mask and distancing requirements have been lifted. To that end, Sunday boat-in worship will begin with a limited scope, scheduling on-site, outdoor worship for May 30 (Memorial Day weekend), July 4, and Sept 5 (Labor Day weekend). We hope each of you will make it a priority to join in one or more of these opportunities to experience this incredible Island treasure we all value. There will not be coffee hour or fellowship time after worship, and boat shuttles from our mainland access point will happen at 9:30am. Follow us on Facebook to stay up-to-date on changes to the schedule as they occur.
Through First Lutheran’s stewardship of Island resources, we annually welcome thousands of guests to the Island and the Bay Lake community—countless churches and organizations, individual guests and families, as well as your friends and neighbors at community events throughout the seasons. In the past year, we’ve really missed you all, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As we slowly reopen, we remain thankful for your continued partnership and support. We hope the summer of 2021 will allow us to bring back some of your favorite gatherings at the Island Café or Community Wood-fired Pizza Nights so be sure to check for updates as things improve. If you have questions, of course you can always call me-Brenda- directly at, 651-247-0360. In the meantime, thank you for your prayers and support as we begin Summer 2021. Hope to see you on the Island!
Peace,
Brenda Olson Bingea, Camp Director
