Over 35 years ago, area men began to pray that God would direct them in their decision to establish a non-denominational spiritual retreat and camp center in southwestern Minnesota. They were led to a 220 acre hilly, heavily wooded property called Lost Timber. As the land was part of a farm, there was a barn as well as a building that housed both a hog barn (one the lower level) and a chicken coop (on the upper level.)
Thirty-five years after the purchase of the land, Lost Timber Bible Camp continues to offer a picturesque, relaxing, and fun setting for young people to further develop their faith, and to come to a closer relationship with God. As a non-denominational ministry campers from all religious backgrounds are welcome at Lost Timber Bible Camp. Karl Schmitke, Chandler, MN, serves as director at Lost Timber Bible Camp. He also teaches at the Chandler Christian School Dave and Cherie Dirks are resident managers, and Aaron and Emily Ahlquist are the registrars.
