Did you miss out on signing up for Arctic Blast before it filled up?  We’re really sorry and super bummed we don’t have the space to host you and your youth group.  If you’re looking for an alternative option, would you be interested in bringing your youth group to Camp and doing your own retreat sometime in the future? If so, email our Guest Ministries Director Jon Dierenfeld or call him at (320) 403-9367 to learn about availability and details.

Take the Chill Out
of Winter

Camp Lebanon’s Arctic Blast winter youth retreats take the chill out of winter with a blast of fun and awesome God time. Arctic Blast retreats are teen events for grades 7-12 that are sure to cut through the winter blues with terrific chapel speakers, awesome music, great food, and plenty of free time.

Designed for Youth Groups

Arctic Blast is designed to be experienced as a youth group (kids and leaders together), so that what happens at Camp goes back with the group.  If you are a youth leader, you can be confident that Camp Lebanon is eager to help you achieve your ministry goals with your teens. Facilities and programs are well suited for Junior and Senior High students and our staff is committed to providing programming that meets kids where they’re at – helping them connect with each other while drawing closer to the Lord.

Achieve ministry goals with your youth group teens

Theme & Speakers

Standing Strong,” Matthew 7:24-27 . . . Spencer will be walking groups through stories from the life of Jesus, taking a special focus on the House on the Rock. He will ask critical questions that will help you inspect your faith: Where does a STRONG foundation come from? What are the materials that will BUILD your faith? What are you STANDING on?

SPEAKER:
sPENCER LARSEN

Pastor Spencer lives with his wife, Colette, in Waconia, MN, and works as a Pastor of Next Gen Ministries at Oakwood Community Church. They are true Minnesotans who enjoy time at the lake, perfect Fall days at the orchard, pumpkin spice lattes, and bringing people together! He also loves Culver’s cheese curds! Spencer is passionate about communicating the Gospel to this generation and raising students to follow Jesus throughout their lives.

WORSHIP LEADER:
JON FINKE

Jon is currently the Student Ministry Pastor at Village Church in Delano, MN. He and his wife, Erin, have 3 kids. He enjoys camping, video games, and cooking. He was raised by a mother that saw value to attending church. His faith was never really his own until middle school. It was at Camp Lebanon that the Holy Spirit showed him his brokenness and need for a Healer and Savior. That same week, he knew that someday he wanted to minister to teens like so many people did for him that week, and the years to come. Since then, there’s been a lot of painful growth. Dealing with sin. Dealing with apathy. Dealing with elitism. Time spent with Him is crucial in his growth currently.

Grow together.
