"Yes!...We have a lot of fun at camp. However, at the heart of everything we do, it is all about changing lives. Camp ministry is a seriously effective tool for Kingdom building. A fun place to get serious."

Scott Larsen, Executive Director

"Having grown up going to camp here, I know the impact it can have on a person’s life."

Mike Seehusen, Facilities Director

"Twin Lakes has an awesome facility and staff, but more importantly it is a place where people come to grow closer to God and youth have great role models and leaders to help them in their walk with our Lord Jesus Christ."

Marianne Youngberg - board member

"I loved what I saw from the facilities to the staff supporting one another. So, our family booked a weekend to stay at Twin Lakes in August and summoned the family to come to Cousin Camp. I'm so glad we did. The staff worked their tails off for us and our family reaped the benefits of making memories, sharing more deeply with time together in the Big Red Lodge and taking advantage of the great activities available to the families with kids of all ages. "I'm grateful to have found Twin Lakes and to experience belonging there."

Lori, family reunion guest

"I came to Twin Lakes captured by the vision of the directors, to encourage those on staff. What I found was Biblical hospitality. They get it. From the warm welcome to a blessing as I left, the staff were engaged in the process of being Kingdom builders. They were teachable, generous with their time, and creative in the way they built community....delightful."

Lori Adams, Summer Staff Leader, Iowa Director: Christian Educators Network

"Our family has made some of our best memories at TLCC!..ya gotta love the slide!

Carla Johnson, mom of campers & summer staffers

"For me, TLCC is both retreat and revival. With the chaos at school and problems at home, I often need to get away. But as I seek a place to forget, this always seem to be a place to remember. I am always reminded of what Christ saved me from and how He desires to have a relationship with me."

K.L. former camper & summer staff

"The facilities themselves are top notch. The cooking staff always takes care of our meals. The staff has the perfect mix of taking care of us and also leaving us alone to do our thing. I really like the freedom they give us to do what we feel best fits our group."

Doug, Youth Pastor who plans his own retreats.

"Watching the kids’ faces as they tried & enjoyed something new (i.e. zip line, climbing wall, tubing) was priceless!

Shonna Trudo, Family Camp mom

"Coming to TLCC helped us focus on God and our family.

Shonna Trudo, Family Camp attendee

"Giving to this ministry (Twin Lakes Bible Camp) is a worthy investment. In fact, I give more to this than any other charity or organization because I am confident that this has significant impact. It matters to the Lord. It matters to me. It is money invested in lives."

"We love coming up to Twin Lakes Bible Camp because it gives our group the freedom to do what we need to do for our group of youth. The staff at Twin Lakes are awesome hosts! Twin Lakes offers us a great winter environment.. . And, my youth would be mad at me if I didn't thank Twin Lakes for the toboggan run. We have lovingly named it the Tower of Doom and it is always, always a highlight."

Doug Applegate, Youth Pastor,
The Father & Son Junkyard, a Ministry of Prairie Ridge Church in Ankeny, Iowa

"The camp food is way good! The toboggan is really fun. They make it really fun to learn about Jesus & the counselors are so nice. They do their job really good. Yah, I will definitely come back again."

Blake, 4th grade camper

"Swede Bend Worship is a highlight for our family every weekend that we are at the lake. We love it. It’s our summer church! My kids wish we could do ‘camp church’ all year-round!"

Swede Bend Attendee

"As a mom, it’s important to know my kids will have an excellent camp experience. I want them to come home telling me about the new things they got to do. I want to hear about the new friends, counselors, and all the fun. Most of all, . . .I want to hear and SEE that they encountered God’s love in a life changing way. My kids come home with all of that, and more! Camp at Twin Lakes continues to be a priority on our summer ‘to do’ list."

Mom, former camper, mother of 3 campers

"At Twin Lakes, my eyes are re-focused on Jesus, and I am more than encouraged. Twin Lakes opens the door for Christ to soften my often hardened heart and reminds me that Christ will always pick me up again."

“Come & hear, all who fear God, and I will tell of what He has done for my soul.” Psalm 67:16

Kaitlin Lassen, former camper, current summer staffer

"I simply LOVE volunteering at Twin Lakes. There is something special about being on the camp property. And I know that I have invested in something with eternal value. I think God does an amazing work in hearts and lives at Twin Lakes Bible Camp."

"It’s encouraging to see families with young children making memories."

Brenda Bonney, family camp attendee & mom of summer staffer

"Walking away from the summer, I know without hesitation that I've made a difference in the Kingdom, and ultimately I'll return time and time again because it's home and a place that I know I can always find God."

Felicia Wenell, former camper, summer staff (4 years)
