🌿 ARC Family Camp 2026 🌿
July 26 – August 1, 2026
Theme: Abundant Growth 🌱
“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” — 2 Peter 3:17–18

Join us for ARC Family Camp 2026 as we focus on what it means to experience Abundant Growth - growing deeper in our faith, stronger in our relationships, and fuller in the life God has called us to live both now and in the days ahead.

This week promises meaningful Biblical teaching, engaging recreation, and space to truly rest and be renewed. Whether you're learning together as a family, reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, or simply enjoying quiet moments with the Lord, there is something here for everyone. It is a time to grow deeper in Jesus and experience true spiritual refreshment.

Enjoy a wide variety of planned activities, or take time to slow down and rest. Explore the beauty of the area—canoe the St. Croix River, visit Trollhaugen Aerial Park, enjoy the slides at Wild Mountain Water Park, or hike and bike the many scenic trails nearby.

ARC Family Camp is designed to give your family exactly what you need - to grow, to connect, to be refreshed.

“Come Away and Rest Awhile.” 🌿

PR. jARROD HYLDEN

My name is Pastor Jarrod Hylden and I have an amazing wife, Elise, and five young, adventurous children: Winnie, Augie, Peter, Fiona, and Luella. After serving for nine years as the pastor of two wonderful congregations in South Dakota, I recently accepted a call to teach at the Free Lutheran Bible College and Seminary in Plymouth, MN. I am excited to spend time with young adults at Family Camp as we build each other up in our Lord Jesus Christ.

*This year’s young adult time will be at night during the Coffee Corner in Joseph’s Storehouse doing topics of conversation from the day sessions!
