Please note this change in
how we accept your payments...
Due to federal regulations for credit card security we will no longer be accepting a credit card payment with a paper registration form.  If you want to register with a check payment you can print off a form, fill it out and mail it in along with your payment.  All registrations using a credit card will be done with our online process. 

We know this change will take some getting used to and will require some planning on the part of parents as they register their children for camp.  Feel free to call our office if you have any questions.  218-575-2240

Scrap and Stamp Weekends
November 8-10 or November 15-17
We still have some space in both of our Scrap and Stamp Weekends!   You can enjoy an entire weekend of uninterrupted scrapbooking for just $125 which includes your meals, snacks, lodging and your own scrapbooking table.  The schedule is quite flexible - Scrapbook, Eat, Scrapbook some more, Snack some more, etc!  

We carry a wide variety of paper, embellishment and tools in our Gift Shop, and will also have a Creative Memories consultant with us with products to buy.  We do have free wireless for those who do some online work with their scrapbooking, but be aware it is very slow as our fiber optics have not yet been upgraded.

To register you can print off a form and mail it in along with a check or if you are paying with a credit card you can register online.  Check in begins at 3:00 on Friday afternoon and check out is Sunday at 3:00 PM. 

You do have the option of extending your weekend through Sunday evening for $15 or through Monday afternoon for $30.  Just indicate that when you register and you will be all set. 

If you are registering with a group be sure to include a group form if you filling out a paper registration, or if doing the online registration there will be a place to add some of your group members so you can be seated and housed together.



Father Daughter Weekend

This popular retreat weekend is filling up, so get your registration in soon!  The weekend will be filled with lots of Dad and Daughter time with many options of activities to choose from.  You will also enjoy encouraging chapel times with great music and challenging messages from our guest speaker, Daniel Wallace.

To register and pay by check just print off a form from our website, fill it out and mail it in with your payment.  If you want to register with a credit card you can use our online registration.  If you are using the online registration be sure to register BOTH the dad and the daughter.  After registering the dad just click on the button that says add additional camper.  For registration questions feel free to contact our office;  218-575-2240 or email sandy@shamineau.org.

WINTER WIPE OUT YOUTH RETREATS
January 10-12
January 17-19  (FULL)
January 24-26


Winter Wipe Outs are Camp Shamineau’s winter youth retreats designed for evangelistic outreach to youth!  Your students and their guests will hear the gospel of Jesus Christ presented in a clear and relevant way.  We at Camp Shamineau are excited to see the growth in students and in youth groups that will result!

 

Our intention for these weekends is for you to have your youth group kids ask unchurched friends to come along with for a great winter weekend.  Host students come for a cost of $99.00; their guests come for a very low $49.00 cost.

 

We will plan chapels with the guests in mind and have special activities that give you and your host students opportunities to further their relationships with their guests and engage them in conversation.

 

We’ll provide great programming—chapels, recreation and fun---you provide the relationships with the students, and together we can look forward to God moving in many, many lives over the course of these retreats!  Check out the promo on youtube – Shamineau Fantastic.

 

A number of churches have already made their reservations for January.  If you have a weekend in mind and have not yet registered please call Sandy in the camp office so we can save a place for your group!  218-575-2240, ext 205.  Please note that weekend #2, January 17-19, is already full.
