Give the Gift of Camp

As you are thinking towards gifts this holiday season, we would urge you to consider gifting someone the experience of Big Lake this summer.  Unforgetable things happen at Big Lake each summer; life-long friendships created, once in a lifetime activities shared, and discovering a love so compelling they will spend the rest of their lives persuing its source.

Manaslu Leadership Expedition

Himalayas, Nepal

The Manaslu Leadership Expedition is an invitation to adventure! On this course we work together to build an intentional community where we explore concepts pivotal to an empowering culture. As we travel, we seek to engage honestly with each other and with God. This professional growth opportunity is specifically designed to be a catalyst for leaders, ages 18+, to recharge and build a better community. Join this expedition to the rooftop of the world and learn the art of Expeditionary Leadership.
