Welcome to Big Lake Campmeeting Association
Big Lake Campmeeting 2025
November 2024
Dear Big Lake Campmeeting Family,
Thanksgiving in Maine…family, friends and a bounty of food graced our table. Looking back on summer, I am thankful for yet another near-record youth camp. The girls far outnumbered the boys, resulting in 4 cabins for the girls versus 2 for the boys. What a joy it was to hear campers singing, playing and swimming, and to watch multiple baptisms in our beautiful lake.
I am happy to report that Joe Veals’ challenging and powerful messages will be enjoyed again next summer, as he has agreed to return. Our cooks, nurse, co-directors, and advance team are also planning to return. Praise God that our youth camp will be able to touch so many young lives. But we need your help.
A large part of our youth camps’ success was due to the $25 youth camp early registration fee, with the balance of the campers’ fee being paid by generous scholarship gifts. Many of the campers would not be able to attend without this help. Your gift of $250 can send a child to camp and bring the love of Jesus into their life. We have a goal of raising 29 camper scholarships this year. Will you consider giving all or a part of one of these scholarships?
We continue to improve our facilities and several capital improvement projects were completed in 2024. These included replacing the electric panel, wiring, and lights in the Tabernacle and Youth Cabins, a new asphalt roof on the Crocket Building, all new toilets in the bathhouse, and new windows, door, and porch for McCloud, and a new floor, and stairs in Veronica. We also completed our window replacement in Crocket and Memorial. Thanks to each of you who have supported these improvements with your labor and your dollars.
Campmeeting 2025 is shaping up to be even more successful. In order to fully cover our financial obligations, we ask that you to prayerfully consider a tax-deductible gift to Big Lake Campmeeting as part of your year-end giving. Please give as you are able, and I pray you had a Blessed Thanksgiving and are looking forward to a Blessed Christmas.
Sincerely,
John Stohlman, Treasurer
