About Green Lake Family Camp
Green Lake Family Camp is a wonderful time for the Living Light churches in Wisconsin to celebrate the amazing covenant life we have in Christ. This weekend will be a significant time together in the presence of the Lord and we anticipate further instruction and commissioning for the next leg of our journey in our region.
We come first to worship our Lord Jesus Christ with all of our hearts, to proclaim His goodness, and experience His wonderful presence. We have been privileged to have God speak to us, direct us, and inspire us in both the prophetic and preached word at our conferences. It's also a time to renew acquaintances, meet new friends, and enjoy fun-filled activities for the whole family.
General Info

Their "acre per person" facility offers contemplative and inspirational quiet places and trails, soccer fields, indoor basketball courts, high and low rope courses with zip line, nationally ranked area golf courses, and a 9-hole disc golf course. You can also enjoy activities in and on the waters of Green Lake itself!
