 Summer Camp is Winding DownSunday, August 1, 2010 The summer camp season is winding down. Right now, we are in our last week of hosting young campers. Currently there are seventy-five 5th and 6th graders on site. This is really a great age to work with because they are so open to learning about Jesus and what it means to give their life over to Him. |
 Summer Camp Half Way Over AlreadyWednesday, July 14, 2010 It is hard to believe that we are halfway through this summer camp season. We have already witnessed many blessings: excellent worship music, challenging messages, great Missions offerings, and several life-changing decisions made for the Lord. Baptisms in our pool are the greatest blessing of all. Nothing can compare to the blessings of summer camp at LaMoine. |
 Summer Camp 2010 is Off and Running!Tuesday, June 22, 2010 Summer Camp 2010 is off and running and it is a WET one! The rains have come and gone and come again many times early in our season. The campers don't mind though as long as they can get wet in our huge swimming pool. God has kept everyone safe here at LaMoine through the storms of June and provided several spiritual highs already. |
 The Excitement Builds as Summer Camp is Just Around the CornerTuesday, March 2, 2010 During the months of spring is when it is most evident how much we count on our camp partners. In just a few days, we will have our Summer Camp Kick-Off Meeting at the camp. This is when our Member Churches will receive everything they need to promote summer camp in their churches and learn where we are counting on them to help us prepare for campers. Yes, summer camp is closer than we think. |

 The Fall Season is Filled with God's Beauty at the CampTuesday, November 3, 2009
Wow, can you believe it’s already November? This year has really flown by. The majority of the leaves have already fallen around the camp and winter is just around the corner. I do love this time of year though; the cooler weather, seeing the deer on the property, hosting many retreats of various types, and of course Thanksgiving and Christmas. |
Golf Benefit was a "Ball"!Friday, September 25, 2009 The 18th Annual Golf Benefit for LaMoine Christian Service Camp and Campus Student's for Christ at Western Illinois University was once again a huge success. A total of 124 golfers showed up for the ministries to golf and fellowship at Great River Golf Course in Nauvoo, September 19th. It was a beautiful, sunny (but not too warm), late summer day. After expenses, more than $3,000. |
Summer Camp UpdateMonday, July 6, 2009
Dear Friends of the Camp,
It is hard to believe that we are already half way through this summer camp season. So far, we have seen a countless number of smiles, heard endless screams of joy, shared in loud and enthusiastic singing of praises to God, have had many unique and interesting interactions with the campers, and have witnessed several baptisms in our pool. |
 7th Annual Open House & Auction a HUGE SUCCESS!Wednesday, June 10, 2009
I want to express my deepest thanks to you and everyone who played a part in making the camps’ 7th Annual Open House & Auction a huge success! It was truly a great day. God blessed us by moving the rain out early in the day and everyone did a remarkable job to give the approximately 400 people who attended a memorable day. |
 LaMoine Camp Pond Yields Another Monster BassTuesday, April 28, 2009 Once again the LaMoine Camp pond has produced another huge large-mouth bass. Early last May, Camp Director, Doug Hamer, caught what was thought to be the camp pond monster bass. It measured 19" long and weighed in at an undisclosed lot of weight (estimates have it at about 4 1/2 lbs.). The fish caught on April 26, 2009 obliterated the record, measuring 21" long and weighing in at 5 1/2 lbs. |
 The Harvest is Now!Wednesday, January 7, 2009
I believe that giving to God’s work with youth is the best place to invest of your time and money because nearly 80% of all who accept Christ do so before the age of 12 and 85% by the age of 18.
I know it is only January, but I am already starting to get excited about what is planned for 2009. This year our theme and emphasis will all be related to the words of Jesus from the gospel of John. |
Phase II waiting on "Seed Money"Wednesday, October 29, 2008 The camp has entered Phase II of our Stewardship Program. In Phase II we will bring current facilities up to a higher standard and 100% utilization. Our first priority in this phase will be to replace our current bath domes. After that we will direct our attention to our cabins, chapel, and old dining hall. |
 2008 Marks the 6th Year of 1,000+ Campers!Monday, August 25, 2008 The final numbers are in and what a blessed summer it was. We ended the summer camp season with 1,021 campers. This is the sixth year in a row that we have had at least 1,000 campers at LaMoine. There were 68 campers that came forward and made life changing decisions for Christ at camp this summer. The campers also gave more than $9,300.00 to missionary organizations. |
Behind the Scenes at LCSCMonday, July 21, 2008 Being that this is my first article for the camp website, I would like to start off by saying camp is great, "Bossman” (reference to Camp Director, Doug Hamer) is awesome, and so is Jesus. Now let me take some time to talk about what is done behind the scenes at camp. |
 Camp Director lands the "LaMoine Camp Pond Monster"Saturday, May 3, 2008 Camp Director, Doug Hamer, finally silences the rumor mongers by catching the LaMoine Christian Service Camp pond monster large-mouth bass. The catch was made at 5:45 p.m., Friday evening, May 2nd, 2008. The sky was cloudy and the wind was out of the west at a strong 25 miles an hour. The massive beast of a fish measured 19" long and weighed an undisclosed lot of weight. |

Debt Free!Monday, December 17, 2007 I bring to you good tidings of great joy! The camp debt is no more! Today we have cut the last check to the bank, paying off the camp debt in total. What a testimony to the greatness of God and the commitment of so many to the ministry work of the camp. In paying off the camp debt, this day also completes Phase 1 of our Stewardship Program. |
