We are gearing up for our 2026 camping season and are so STOKED!!

At LPC, we are highly committed to the safety and wellbeing of our campers and guests, which means that we take every measure to ensure our neighbors and weekend campers know our property is private.

So if you live around the lake, or love camping at the state park, please make sure you inform people that the camp is for registered guests and if they’d like to utilize our space that they need to call the camp and talk with the site director (me, Nicole) first to find out what’s possible and what forms need to be filled out for safety purposes. Thank you!!

Things have been busy as we prepare the camp for summer, however, it’s always a good time to hang with Asbury United Methodist Church on their Camp Wednesday!

We sang songs, shared in small groups, and reminded ourselves of how loved we are by God and our community.

Can’t wait to see you at camp this summer!!!!

What a whirlwind of a weekend we had!

Rev. Valerie Hummel LaBounty led a fantastic Confirmation Camp where confirmands from area United Methodist Churches learned what it means to be United Methodist, what our creeds and vows mean, what the Sacraments of Holy Baptism and Communion are, and got to craft their own stoles to wear for their confirmation celebration.

The future of the United Methodist Church is so bright with these confirmands stepping into this milestone of their faith journey.
