Dear Families and Friends of Peace,
As we step into the new year, there are a lot of things that might catch us by surprise. For example, it’s already time to start planning for this summer!
Our schedule for summer 2025 is as follows:
- June 23-26: VBS held at Peace
- July 27-31: Wilderness Canoe Base
- July 27-August 1: Camp Wapogasset Youth Camp
- August 1-3: Camp Wapogasset Seeds Weekend
- August 8-10: Family Camp at Camp Wapogasset
Vacation Bible School will be hosted at Peace once again, and in partnership with Community of the Cross Lutheran Church. Our students will be venturing to the True North, where they will learn about “Trusting Jesus in a Wild World!” VBS is open to students in preschool (age 3.5+, potty-trained) through 5th grade.
Middle school and high school students, in addition to adult volunteers, are invited to help lead this amazing week. Registration will open this spring, and costs will be announced at a later date.
Wilderness Canoe Base is located 60 miles northwest of Grand Marais on the Gunflint Trail. During this awesome time, students will have the opportunity to venture into the Boundary Waters under the leadership of one of WCB’s excellent Canoe Guides. The trip is open to students currently in grades 8-12, costs $700 ($100 non-refundable deposit due at time of registration), and no experience is required.
Camp Wapogasset provides students with the opportunity to come together with friends and neighbors from all across Minnesota and Wisconsin. Between the field games, water activities, Bible studies, and campfire worships, it is a fun-filled, faith-formational experience for all ages.
- Students currently in 1st-3rd grade can attend the weekend Seeds session, which costs $300 ($150 non-refundable deposit due at time of registration).
- Students currently in 4th-8th grade can attend the weeklong Youth Camp, which costs $700 ($150 non-refundable deposit due at time of registration).
- People and families of all ages can attend the Family Camp Weekend, which costs $255/family + $70/person (Ex. Family of 4 = $535). Our group will lodge in the Crossfire building.
Registration is open January 15 – February 15.
Plan to register early, as spots are limited and fill up quickly. And if you have any questions, please let me know!
Grace and Peace, Joe
