Thank you to all that support Beulahland!
Your prayers, volunteering and donations are true blessings.
"For the Glory of God"
Greetings from Beulahland, November 2025
“For the Glory of God”...when you drive down, deep into the serene landscape of camp, you can’t help but understand “the why” of Beulahland! Currently, Keith secured an oversized banner draped on a semi-trailer and it shares that message. All who are Christ followers are on a mission, and it is for the Glory of God! The camp mission continues to be to share the Love of Christ with All, and bring that love to those who haven't heard.
This year we can testify to God being glorified as we review His work being done. Prayer is a foundationally firm focus for us, and we see the fruit of that as we prepared camp and equipped our growing staff members for summer camp. Record numbers of campers, counselors, and support staff worshipped, prayed, and played together all for God’s glory! We had more than one camper who enjoyed their first week of camp so much they returned for a second camp later in July! The gospel is being heard by over 100 youth campers who live locally! What a gift!
Please visit our page to see camp videos and information about upcoming events.
Another regular part of the fruit of God’s work consists of those who volunteer. Beulahland camps and retreats are a treasured service opportunity for many locals. Whether it is mowing the lawn, painting, repairing, or supporting our amazing kitchen staff, our volunteers are a blessing to us!
We are enjoying the many ties that we are making to our community members who are attending the Family Fun Days, the “Bring Your Own Book/Craft” Day, the Women’s Retreat , and Identity in Christ Conference as well. These were all held this fall, with more events happening at Beulahland this winter. Many who attended these events were eagerly inquiring about future opportunities to find rest and biblical teaching at Beulahland! God is making Himself known throughout Northeast Iowa, as the word gets out more and more that camp has so much to offer!
Our Annual Appreciation Dinner is June 14th, 2026 at 5:00pm, Hope to see you there!

So how can you partner with us?
Above all else, please pray! It takes a large amount of effort from paid staff and volunteers to honorably and lovingly host a variety of events and camps throughout the year! We covet your prayers! The second way you can come alongside us is by volunteering. Please contact us for more information about those opportunities.
The third way you can come alongside us and our growing needs to further the gospel is by financially supporting us. This year it has been determined that some of our highest priorities for improving the camp have to do with an upgrading of our kitchen to support our growing number of youth campers. We are also in the planning stages for future building projects to accommodate more campers and staff..
