RE: Covid Mitigation Plan To the Flaming Pine Youth Camp Community:
We are excited to announce our plans for youth and family camping this summer! We are thankful that God has provided an improving COVID environment and a fully repaired Dining Hall to allow us to meet in-person this summer. We are committed to providing both a safe and fun environment for all! Here are the key operating principles for this summer:
· The COVID Operating Plan will follow National, State and Local requirements for summer camps.
· Recommendations from governmental authorities and related organizations will be considered on a case-by-case basis; balancing both safety and a great camp experience.
· We plan to socially distance and wear masks as required and needed.
· The camp’s plans and expectations will change as related COVID requirements and recommendations evolve in the weeks to come.
· Because of Covid, there may be limits placed on camp enrollment numbers. Therefore, we suggest you send in your registrations early.
· If you have any questions, please reach out to the camp caretakers (Randy and Julie Peaney; thefpyc@gmail.com).
Praying that we will see you at camp this summer!

FPYC Family, God has enormously blessed the years that FPYC has been serving youth and their families. We want to continue to respond to our world in a way that helps people deepen their relationship with Jesus. Towards that goal, we will be hosting a series of focus groups to have open discussions on strengths the camp has and areas that could be improved. If you would like to help us and participate in one of these groups, follow the link below to sign up!

Annual FPYC Member Meeting (Virtual Meeting)
Thank you to all of our corporate members who spent the time to hear the President’s address and cast your vote for annual board member election.
The board members receiving the highest number of votes and elected to the 2020-2021 board of directors (in alphabetical order):
- Julie Engebretson
- Chico Ford
- Paul Maynard
- Barry Ries
- Gene Tarnowski
We truly appreciate the dedication of everyone who supports FPYC in any capacity whether it be on the board, financially, physical labor, recruiting campers, planning & coordinating events, and/or praying hard for its ministry. Serving is often a thankless job yet so instrumental to missions like FPYC.

Dining Hall Construction Fundraiser$166,400 was donated through the fundraiser. This will cover all dining hall construction costs and send FPYC into 2021 in a strong financial situation.
The FPYC board is incredibly grateful to God 1) that the final construction bill was less than what we were expecting (always a good thing), and 2) for all the friends of the camp who prayed and/or contributed to the fundraiser. Please say a prayer of thanks to the Lord. For the FPYC Board, Bruce Goodwin, President |

"A voice from the past--1978-1982"
Our 4 years in MN (Hibbing) were full of wonderful memories. LeRoy & Patricia Murphy were God's mentors to us - such fine people. Engertsons, Gillitzers, Pappas, Salials, Nadings, Norris', & more great people whose names are hazy in my poor memory.
Times at Flaming Pine Family Camp were often the highlight of each year. We used to say- "When we all get to heaven, we'll meet on the NW corner to sing songs, especially "Yes, I Believe." We would pray, play volleyball, stay up late in a big tent, talking, etc. (but keeping 1 ear open for our little ones sleeping in tents or campers nearby). We thought our time at Flaming Pine was perhaps the closest thing to heaven on earth.
This COVID 19 has made for some tough times but I was glad to read in the Christian Chronicle about the rebuilding of the kitchen at Flaming Pine. This check is sent with thanksgiving for those wonderful memories.
May God continue to use Camp to bless those in the MN area.

And there’s no place on earth I’d rather be - -
There’s no sound I’d rather hear Than the cry of the loon and the laughter of friends That beckon me to the wild northern woods. Come join us at Flaming Pine Youth Camp located in the beautiful northern woods on Minnesota. At Flaming Pine Youth Camp our mission is to glorify God in all that we do, whether it be through Bible study, song, crafts, athletic activities, and much more. Can't wait to see you there! Psalm 136:1 |
