On this stunning 250-acre waterfront site, the summer program serves over 2,300 youth of all ages, teaching about Christ and the appreciation of God’s creation. Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp is dedicated to the spiritual, physical, and emotional growth of each person. Caring, dedicated, and exemplary staff will provide a safe, fun, and meaningful experience. Each summer, faithful college-aged staff join the year-round staff to create a nurturing Christian community where the Gospel is learned and lived out every day in fun and meaningful ways. Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp offers a Christ-centered camp experience for people of all ages. The staff is trained to help campers understand God’s message of grace and to provide positive Christian role models while having an amazing experience in God’s great outdoors! During our time at FLBC, we will spend time on the lake, hike, and do a service day.
