This Month's Mission Focus

2025 IAUMC Summer Camp time is drawing near! The 2025 IAUMC Summer Camp dates are set!

Options are available for : full week camps, horse camps, half week camps, family camps, grandparent camps, and many others! The IAUMC camps are held at Lake Okoboji and Wesley Woods. Camps begin in early June- August 2025.

Exciting news!!!

Financial support is available from Salem and the Iowa United Methodist Camp Ministries Board! From the Iowa Conference: “The Iowa United Methodist Board of Camp Ministries feels strongly that everyone who wants to attend camp can do so, and that no camper will be turned away because they can’t afford to pay. The expectation is that your local church (Salem), personal funds and other sources of support along with the Conference Campership support will combine to cover the registration cost for one camping event per year.” Salem’s support amount depends on the number of campers that apply. It is crucial to start gathering commitments from campers now. This allows accurate calculation of support Salem can provide for each camper. This amount needs to be on the Conference Campership form to be turned into the IAUMC Conference. The sooner applications are turned in, the better the chances are to getting into the camp desired and the support needed. Please see the Missions Team for Campership brochures, containing the information about the camps you need for exploration and decision making!
