GLEN LAKE CAMP AND RETREAT CENTER

ACTS COMMUNITY

Glen Lake Camp and Retreat Center is entering a new season and although it is very strange not to have served a few thousand campers this summer or be hosting thousands of guests in the late summer and early Fall, we are making the best of the situation and looking for God to reveal new opportunities during this COVID pandemic. As a result we are leaning in to the model of the early church in the book of ACTS and inviting others to live in a new intentional community, known as the Acts Community.

College aged individuals all over the country are making difficult decisions on whether to register for classes in- person or attend classes online or take the semester off. The decision on how they are attending class is partnered with many questions. Where do they live? Will they get stuck in a lease if classes all move virtually? Will my friends be on campus with me? Local college ministers have expressed in the midst of making these hard decisions their college students long for the community they develop at college.

​

Glen Lake Camp seeks to offer an intentional community for college-aged individuals during the Fall 2020 semester. We are seeking 38 participants to live on-site at Glen Lake Camp in an intentional community guided by a Rule of Life from August 15th through November 30th. Our cabins will be transformed into two-person living spaces, where roommates may sign up together or be assigned a roommate. We will provide the common space needed to focus on online courses as well as the space to build community together. We are providing meals for the students, Monday through Friday, and will help develop this intentional Christian community of college-aged individuals. The participant pays $1,750.00 over the three and a half months for lodging and includes meals, space for learning and community development, and an intentional community they will never forget.
