Camping
Camping is part of the Biblical instruction concerning this holiday. MN fall weather makes it a little bit tricky, but we try our best. Camping registration is REQUIRED. Please call or text Al at 320.212.8708 for more information or to reserve a spot.
Main Feast Day
We build a sukkah (a beautiful shelter out of branches and leaves) from the materials prepped ahead of time, set the tables with beautiful china, enjoy a grand meal together, pour out our hearts to God in worship, stay up late around the campfire sharing testimonies and singing songs.
Afterglow
We serve a late brunch the next morning after the main feast as we continue to enjoy fellowship together.
Shemini Atzeret
It is the most joyous day of Sukkot, but a holiday of its own: The Great Eighth Day. This special day has its own prophetic meaning. If you do your own research about traditional celebrations, you will find singing and rejoicing being the center theme of this holiday.
Entrance Fee
There is no charge to attend the Main Feast. We do welcome any donations towards food expenses (we usually set up a jar for cash donations at the feast, nothing fancy). If you choose to camp, there is a small charge associated with camping to help pay for the Portapotties and electricity.
