Anniversary

The Sunrise Sailing Bundle made a great anniversary card for the Executive Director of Ingham Okoboji Lutheran Bible camp. My family has gone there every year for a week of Family Camp each summer for over 25 years. It is one of our favorite places in the world! Happy 25th Anniversary Rod & Cryss!!

What a joy to see all the sailboats and other kinds of boats on beautiful West Lake Okoboji. West Lake Okoboji is the heart of the Iowa Great Lakes, offering crystal-clear, spring-fed waters and endless outdoor adventures. This glacial lake spans 3,847 acres with depths reaching 136 feet, it’s one of only three blue-water lakes in the world. Whether you’re boating, fishing, swimming, or enjoying lakeside dining, West Lake Okoboji delivers unforgettable experiences. With scenic shorelines, vibrant communities, and year-round activities, it’s a top destination for relaxation and recreation.

Ingham Okoboji Lutheran Bible camp’s mission is simple: “To know Jesus Christ and to make Christ known to all.” Discovering God the Father and Creator through the beauty of creation, experiencing the Holy Spirit’s renewing power through caring community, and receiving the life-giving good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ is what makes camping ministry so impactful for every person in every generation.
