Summer camps were bustling with activity in 2025. This year’s Kids’ Camp was AMAZING! This next generation witnessed God powerfully move in their lives. With 3,330 kids and leaders in attendance, an all-time record was broken.
Kids, pastors, and volunteers led the way in creating a fun, memorable, and Christ-centered experience for Kids this summer. The theme this year, “The Adventure,” focused on what it means to follow Jesus as “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
Through songs, skits, and creative storytelling, the speakers brought truth to the kids in an engaging way. In every service, kids made the decision to follow Jesus. A total of 201 were saved for the first time, 187 were filled with the Holy Spirit, 79 kids experienced healing, and 165 kids heard God speak clearly to their call into ministry or missions.
One young boy, with tears in his eyes, shared:
“I don’t have a dad at home, but because of what Jesus did in my heart, God is now my Dad from heaven.”
With a thankful heart, Chris Pruett (Kidmin Director) expressed, “God is on the move, and this generation is responding! Thanks for your investment!”
It was another great year at Family Camp, as the grounds overflowed with campers, tents, RVs, bikes, and the presence of God from June 27 to July 6. The Worship Center was filled with adults each evening, along with 200+ children worshipping the Lord in their own services. Other exciting activities included the Women’s Garden Coffee, Coffee with the Guys, workshops, and an abundance of recreational activities.
Services were blessed by the ministry of Susie Larson, Randy Ruiz, Drs. Paul and Carol Alexander, and Joe Gordon. Messages in the Worship Center were recorded and are posted on our website at mnaog.org/media
The fourth week of Youth Camp coincides with the release of this article. This year’s speakers include Kyle Curan, Gabriel Zamora, Kendall Alfaro, and Jonathan Rivera. Each night, the whole Worship Center becomes an altar during worship and again at the close of the message. Each week of camp has exceeded last year’s total. During the first three weeks, 4,038 students and leaders participated, and an additional 1,383 are registered to attend the last week of July.

We are so blessed by the significant growth in our age-graded camps and retreats. Just a few days before Youth Camp, we were granted an occupancy permit for Lund Hall, and 80 new beds were available each week. Most of the work to complete this project was done by the LGCC team, headed by Kevin Gunion.
Thanks again to everyone for your investment in the fruitful ministry happening at Lake Geneva. The results in the lives of those attending are a blessing to churches, pastors, and all who participate. We pray this will allow the next generation to experience God’s presence in ever-growing numbers.
