Come learn the ropes of camp counseling with a staff that has many years of combined experience. Help lead small groups, assist with event setup, emcee the Camp Skit Night, and more all while enjoying time with fellow counselors and campers in the beautiful north woods around Fish Hook Lake. There’s no better way to learn leadership and counseling skills than to practice in a safe and fun environment with the guidance of great life-long counselors.

Mini Camp is a great opportunity for children to experience camp for the first time or return for a shorter camp experience. These three-day/two-night camps are packed full of adventures. Campers will play games, create crafts, learn about nature while exploring the camp woods, swim and play at the beach, have outdoor worship around the campfire, spend time in Bible lessons and reading their Bibles. We will spend time at the archery range, at the Gaga ball pit, and in cozy hammocks. Our theme this year, This is Our Prayer, will guide many activities as we learn new ways to pray, experience praying together and create prayer reminders to take home. Mini Treehouse campers sleep in a treehouse. Our tree houses have bunk beds and have electricity with a bathroom nearby.

Let me give you a glimpse of why we think Family Camp 1 at Northern Pines Camp is such a special and magical place! To give you a little context, I have been coming to Family Camp 1 since the 1980’s with my parents, and there is a pull that keeps us coming back (now with my children) year after year. It is a place where you can truly “unplug” among the fragrant tall pines, reconnect with your family and friends, get outside and simply enjoy all of God’s glorious creations. If you are looking to relax and unwind with a good book, you may find yourself cocooned in one of the hammocks down by the lakeside listening to the loons as they swim by. For those who like a bit more structure, we also offer optional activities throughout the week such as arts and crafts, Bible study, archery, campfires, a talent show, outdoor games, vespers and much more. We typically plan a canoe trip down the Potato River that is always a lot of fun. We have beach and swimming time, use of kayaks, paddleboards and a pontoon boat. It is hard to fit all of the fun and quality family time into one week! I hope you can join us this summer!

Bring a spirit of awe and adventure to this time apart amidst God’s fall splendors. Relax and nourish your body and soul. Explore the Park Rapids area and spend time in the great outdoors, away from the distraction of everyday life. Many of the week’s activities happen in the Lodge at Northern Pines Camp, utilizing their hotel-like rooms, each with a private bath and comfortable lower beds. Meals are prepared with adult tastes in mind and include a special candlelight dinner with entertainment on the last evening of camp.
The daily schedule will include a time of morning worship and a study/discussion time. Afternoons are dedicated to field trips, exploration of the area, opportunities to fish, hike or play golf, and a chance to take part in a service project. Evenings are devoted to group activities and games. Enjoy a week full of good fellowship with old and new friends; a time to enjoy God’s creation; and a time to grow in our daily walk with God.
