Event Highlights:
Glowball – Black Light Dodgeball
Get ready for one of Lincoln Lake’s most unforgettable traditions—Glowball! This high-energy, black-light dodgeball experience transforms the gym into a neon-lit arena where strategy, speed, and laughter collide. It’s not just a game; it’s a chance to connect with friends old and new in a setting that’s as fun as it is memorable. Whether you’re in it for the win or just for the laughs, Glowball is guaranteed to be a highlight of your week.
Storehouse of West Michigan – Ministry in Action
This year’s conference features a special opportunity to step into local ministry with a group shopping trip to the Storehouse of West Michigan. Lincoln Lake has benefited greatly from this ministry—over the past two years alone, the Storehouse has saved us more than $15,000 on essentials ranging from toilet paper and paper towels to tools, games, construction equipment, furniture, and crafts. As we shop together, you’ll see firsthand how this incredible resource meets practical needs for ministries and families while sparking new ideas for how your camp can creatively steward resources and serve your community.
Mystery Box Mayhem
Get ready for some unpredictable fun with Mystery Box Mayhem! Each team will be handed an actual Amazon mystery box packed with returned items. What’s inside? No one knows until the game begins! The challenge is full of wild twists, creativity, and laughter as teams race to make the most of their box’s random contents. It’s a guaranteed recipe for chaos, energy, and memories you won’t forget.
