Acres for Omega
This annual program encourages those in agribusiness to donate the proceeds from a portion of their harvest to the camp’s ministry. Each farmer designates, depending upon their farming operation, their own “acre”. The camp receives donations from crop, produce, and dairy operations. Last year the camp received over $9,000 through the Acres for Omega program. For more information, email the camp office or call Curt Stoltenow at 507 685-4266.
Golf Tournament
Get a foursome together and join our annual August golf tournament. The proceeds from the tournament support the camp’s campership endowment fund. These funds support the camp’s commitment to providing camp experiences for those with financial need. Interested in more details or want to register, email the camp office or call 507.685.4266 and ask for Curt.
Work Days
Our annual Memorial Day Work Weekend (Fri - Sun) is just one opportunity to volunteer your time at the camp. You and your group can line up your own workday by contacting the camp office. Work projects include painting, wood splitting, landscaping, cleaning, and a variety of other projects. To learn more about this event, visit the Retreat Programs section.
MN State Fair Camp Omega Restaurant
That's right... Don't forget to come see us at the Great Minnesota Get-Together. Camp Omega has a restaurant at the Minnesota State Fair. How about a breakfast egg roll, teriyaki ostrich on-a-stick, seafood wontons, or pot sitcker. Plan to stop by and have a meal with us at the China Town MN Restaurant between the Grandstand and the Giant Slide. All proceeds go to help offset camper fees so as many as possible may hear of Christ's deep love for them. Visit www.mnstatefair.org for more information about the MN State Fair. We look forward to seeing you there!
