By providing increased LLL Camping Ministry Grants, LLL has significantly boosted the support for the fun-filled camps run for young people across the country that advance the Word of God.
These grants exist to encourage new campers to join the fun and enable families experiencing financial hardship to enjoy the many benefits of a transformational Lutheran camp experience.
Annual grants of $75,000 will be distributed nationally for the next three years (2023 to 2025) to make attending a camp more affordable for new camp attendees, allowing camp organisers to further enhance the experience and expand opportunities for the personal growth of all attendees.
LLL also announced additional funding to support camp leader training and development with a further $50,000 to be dispersed annually across all districts.
As most camp leaders are young adults and need to take time off from work or study, this additional funding represents an excellent opportunity to support the next generation of Christian leaders.
Primary and secondary students, as well as young adults, can attend camps, including the popular Christian Life Weeks, filled with fun, faith and age-appropriate activities that are held in safe, secure environments at sites across the country, like the one run by Lutheran Youth of Queensland (LYQ) at Coolum Beach.
"I really enjoyed this camp and will definitely come again," said one junior camper.
"This camp was also a good opportunity to not only get to know the other kids here, but also the amazing leaders who put in their time and effort to help us to have a good time. I really appreciate how much the leaders put in to give us the opportunity to come on this amazing camp."
Young adults wanting to expand their leadership skills and get involved are encouraged to reach out to their local camping ministry organiser.
