Who could have dreamed 62 years ago all that God had in store for a special ministry called Camp Lebanon? Certainly not the original group of men and women from over 20 Minnesota Conservative Baptist Churches who purchased 46 acres on the north side of Cedar Lake from an Upsala banker named Axel Borgstrom. That effort was led by an Upsala farmer named Sidney Anderson and his son, Ray, who pastored a church in St. Cloud. With a vision to provide summer camp ministries for the youth in Minnesota, the Cedar Lake Baptist Assembly, Inc. was organized. Through the years facilities have been built and renovated and programs have been added and expanded to reach youth, families, and adults with the love of Christ. One-hundred-forty-six children attended the first camps in 1947. Today Camp hosts nearly 10,000 guests a year. Camp Lebanon’s most exciting days may be just ahead! Come and be a part of this exciting history.
