You are invited to join in for a monthly Amnicon Twin Cities: Community Campfire Convo. “Convo.” referring to both conversation as well as convocation (a gathering of people). Each month is an opportunity to connect with the broader Amnicon Community around a fire year-round. Come and engage your spirit with genuine friendships some of which were kindled in the north woods and some new, but all sustained around the fires of God’s grace and authentic community back home.

Upcoming Convos:

Wednesday, May 24 – 7:00-9:00pm

at the NEW Amnicon Twin Cities Outpost: 3910 Rahn Rd. Eagan, MN

May Volunteer Work Weekend:

Friday, May 19 – Sunday May, 21

We love our volunteers! So many aspects of this vital ministry would not be possible without the help and dedication of our amazing volunteers.

General Schedule:

Friday: Arrive in the afternoon or evening as you are able. We’ll have a few things to do, but mostly people are just getting settled in and catching up.

Saturday: We’ll start the day with breakfast @ 8 am. After eating we’ll divide into teams to get projects done. It’s so satisfying to see a marked change, and a visible difference afterwards! Lunch is at noon, and dinner is at 5:30. After dinner we’ll hang out around the fire or hike down to the beach.

Sunday: We’ll finish up any final projects, and clean up the site before lunch. Most people will head home right after lunch.

What are the projects?

• • Planting Trees! – We have 25 brand-new trees to plant around camp! 
  • Tent set-up at Adizokan Village
  • Some painting of the outhouses at the new cabins
  • Some smaller building & maintenance projects around the site
  • Cleaning, organizing, and summer season prep projects

Food & Housing? 

Provided free of charge by camp! Most people will be staying in the bunkrooms in the lodge, although the personal retreat cabins are available for those who need that. If you have a specific housing need, or a dietary restriction, please let us know when you RSVP!

Come up to camp this summer for a few days of the best of Amnicon! Everyone is invited to connect deeply, relax fully, and rediscover the wonder of experiencing God’s presence in nature. 

Bring a friend, bring your family, or come by yourself. We’ll have optional activities each day, childcare available, and meaningful campfire conversations in the evenings. Come when you can, engage as much as you’d like, and duck out when you need to.

Housing & food included, and prices are reasonable. 

For questions, prices, and to sign up…

You’re invited to come camping with us! We’ll spend the weekend touring the Namekagon National Scenic Riverway, admiring the fall colors, and digging deep into life around the campfire. Spend your weekend connecting with cool people, and head home feeling refreshed. 

More details to come. Interested in joining us?

We are so grateful for all the ways you support Amnicon! The Amnicon community is full of friends, donors, supporters, volunteers, prayer wariors, staff, and leaders who have come together to help young people experience God’s presence and grace in transformative and awe-inspiring ways in the wilderness. We want to say THANK YOU . 

Join us in the Twin Cities to hear the stories from this past summer and to celebrate the impact of Amnicon.

 Lifeguarding and water rescue skills are essential for wilderness travelers. However, most lifeguarding classes are taught only for pool contexts. THIS water safety course will teach you the safety skills you’ll need for the wilderness context – how to establish safe swimming areas for somewhere you’ve never been before, how to find submerged swimmers when you can’t see the bottom, and more. 

Class will run from 8am-5pm Saturday and Sunday. We will have a break each day for lunch.

The course fee is $250/participant. This does not include lodging or food. Participants may rent one of Amnicon’s Cabins for an additional fee, or camping on site may be available for little to no charge. Participants may bring their own food, or purchase meals from camp for $50.
