Greetings from Fortune Lake!

Earlier this evening, friends of camp gathered all over the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Wisconsin to kick off the summer season and celebrate the ministry of Fortune Lake with our Light the Fire event. If you weren't able to make it to one of our in-person fire sites, don't fret! Our virtual campfire is included in this post. In an effort to avoid the technical difficulties we've encountered with the live virtual version of this event, we've pivoted to a pre-recorded version this year. Unfortunately, new strategies sometimes come with NEW technical difficulties! We apologize for the delay in getting this video out to you all.

If you tune in from home, let us know where you're watching from and what your favorite camp activity is!

Here at Fortune Lake, we're busy preparing for another impactful summer season with all of the faith, fun, and beauty that we've come to know and love. We invite you to join us in this preparation! Summer programs come with a price tag, and by lighting the fire with us, you can help us mitigate these costs. Funds designated to Light the Fire will go to food (s'mores, anyone?), Bible Study supplies, new play equipment, and more. Check out the link below to donate directly to the Light the Fire campaign!

On Saturday our Mental Health Support Coordinator, Mercedes, participated in the Soul Shop for Faith Leaders workshop. The one-day workshop is designed to equip leaders with the skills and resources necessary to minister to individuals impacted by su***de.

The free event was sponsored by Bethany Lutheran Church, Ishpeming. It was made possible through a bequest from an esteemed member who died by su***de. The congregation is committed to remembering and honoring his legacy through meaningful community events like this. Hope grows out of despair.
