Want to spend a free weekend at camp?  Here's your chance!  Join us for one of our two Hands 2 Help Weekends in the 2010 Retreat Season to lend your helping hands.

Can You Help Us Find These Items?

Perhaps you would consider donating a quality used item or purchasing a new item for Inspiration Point. Please contact the camp if you are able to help with any of the following needs:

Did you know that you have access to fraternal funds through Giving Plus that make your charitable gifts to Inspiration Point go farther?  Why wait? Give a gift, fill out the application and send it with your gift to camp. That's all there is! It’s easy! You are allowed to give any gift up to $600 and Thrivent will match your gift 50 cents on the dollar!
In addition, if you donate an eligible gift, and contribute 25 or more hours to Inspiration Point, an additional $25 will be given to camp by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

If you are looking for a means of sharing in the ministry of Inspiration Point, and are willing to join our volunteer team, please contact the camp office.  We are looking for help with maintenance, carpentry, mailings (Fergus Falls office), cleaning, spring lawn work, and much more.  If staying at camp for a weekend or a couple of weekdays to work on a project is something you would be interested in, we have a cozy, furnished retreat home by the lake for extended stay volunteers.  Enjoy watching the sun set over Spitzer Lake after serving around the camp during the day.  Stays of up to 10 days are available.  All we ask is that you give at least five hours of service for each day of your stay.  The home is furnished with new queen-size beds, a full kitchen, and attractive living areas. Hear what one person who took advantage of this opportunity had to say about her experience:

A Gift that Keeps on Giving
Thanks to gifts made by several families in memory of their loved ones, the Inspiration Point Scholarship Endowment Fund has now grown to nearly $48,000! Six families have now contributed memorial gift monies to this fund that provides camp scholarships to many kids each year.

Each year numerous gifts are given in memory of loved ones. These thoughtful gifts honor the lives of those who are memorialized and also ensure guests can come away to Inspiration Point for years to come, experiencing Christian camping at its best through up-to-date facilities and the life-giving message of Jesus Christ clearly proclaimed in all of our programming. Please consider honoring the memory of a loved one by giving to the ministry of Inspiration Point.

Relationships with Christ begin, grow, and are renewed at Inspiration Point. It’s not that God speaks any louder in the camp setting – for some reason, it’s just easier to hear Him!

Over 50% of the campers who come to Inspiration Point receive some type of scholarship to attend, whether from a church or from Inspiration Point’s Scholarship fund. Many children would not be able to participate in this important time of spiritual training and growth (and for some, an introduction to the Gospel) without generous scholarship gifts from people like you.

As you plan for the future, would you please keep the ministry of Inspiration Point in mind? Supporting camp through your estate allows you to give as you wish, meet your personal financial goals, and take advantage of tax benefits. For more information on how this might apply to you, please contact Greg Anderson at the camp office.
