Rock & Roll Dance Night 🎸

One handmade pink guitar, a whole lot of feathers, and a friendship that rocked the dance floor 🎸💖

But the best part of the night wasn’t the decorations or the music. It was our camper leaning in close to her counselor like there was nowhere else she’d rather be 💖

The glitter from the dance party was still on her cheeks. The letter home was still being written. And neither of them was quite ready to let go 🥹

Our staff love campers well all week long - through the highs, the lows, the awkward first, “hello” and every bittersweet “goodbye”.

This is what camp is really about. The activities and the fun at camp are important, but the friendships made with bunkmates and with God are even better.

“We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.” - 1 Thessalonians 2:8 🤍

🖐 Five days is more than enough time to make lifelong memories and connections at camp. Don't believe us? Just ask our campers and summer staff!! 🤩

It’s been two months and five days since camp ended and we’re still not over it.

This is just a thirty second round up of the nine glorious weeks we shared— the lake, the songs, the cabins, the worship, the messy games, the campfires, the activities, and ALL the, “oggy oggy oggy”, and the, “oi, oi ois”.

Is it too early to start counting down to next summer? (It isn’t. We already started!)

Enrollment for Summer 2027 is open - Join us for 🤍

Caregivers, you know your kid better than anyone else. We also know that kids can only discover some things about themselves away from home.

Coming to the decision to spend a week at summer camp is different for every camper. For some It's the bravest decision they have ever made, for others it's the easiest. For one week kids leave their screens, their routines, and the label they’ve been wearing at school all year behind. They try activities they swore they’d never do, make friends from places they’ve never heard of, and before their arrival our counselors already know their name, their likes and their dislikes.

Somewhere between the campfire songs, the cabin chats and jumping into the lake something shifts.

We can’t tell you when it happens. We just haven’t seen a summer where it didn’t 🤍

Join us for next summer for Grotonwood’s 71st summer on the shores of Lost Lake. Registration info at the link in our bio!

Have you ever experienced the Superman swing?

Here’s how it works - First you gear up. Harness, helmet, carabiners and ropes. Then, our certified instructor checks everything — and then checks it again.

Then your friends take hold of the rope, and pull you up among the trees. You decide how high, they’ll hold you right there.

And then comes the important part! You have to reach down and pull the release rope so that you can soar through the air.

That’s where people freeze. Some get to the top and can’t do it. Some challenge themselves to go higher than just a few feet. Some change their mind halfway through. For some, just getting the harness on is a triumph.

What we’ve never once heard is a camper come down and says they wish they hadn’t tried. Every single person who pulls that release comes back screaming and exhilarated — and the first thing out of their mouth is, “can I go again?”.

The fear is real. It’s a long way down and at some point you just have to let go and find out!

In life, a lot of us are up there right now. Held by a gracious and patient God who will not let go, but our hand is on the release rope. Are you ready to take the leap of faith?

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9

Thanksgiving season is almost upon us - what a better time to gather with friends at camp and give thanks! ☺️

Join us for Camp Gobble - A Thanksgiving Adventure! 🦃

Imagine kids running across the rec field, racing to the campfire. Your kids coming home with muddy sneakers, rosy cheeks and endless stories they can’t wait to tell you about. There’s nothing better than a beautiful fall day at camp where kids can just be kids. No screens, no distractions, no rush. Just lots of fresh air, good vibes and the anticipation of adventure, good friends and the kind of fun you can only find on the shores of Lost Lake 🍂

This is a drop off event designed for children ages 4–12. New and returning campers welcome.

The campfire 🔥

We sing camp songs around it. We dance around it. We burn more marshmallows than we actually get to eat around it, and each evening our campers gather around it and share Vespers.

Campfires warm the soul, reset the nervous system, and provide a calm environment where sacred conversations can happen.

Same fire + different hearts each week finding light, connection and community in the darkness 💛

"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." - Matthew 18:20

Being a Camp Counselor involves doing A LOT of random things, a lot of meaningful things, and definitely a lot of hard things. Anyone that has ever worked a season can attest that it is NOT for the faint hearted 😅

You will spend nine glorious weeks doing stuff you would probably never do anywhere else. The best part is that you will get to do it with amazing people from around the world and they will become some of your closest friends.

Staff applications are live - Come shine a light for Christ, come represent the King of Kings, and help us build the Kingdom here on earth!

Join us in 2027 for Grotonwood's 71st summer on the shores of Lost Lake.
