Description

This Event is a Live and Silent auction that takes place once a year during our Family Camp Week. The auction raises money to help run the facility in order to keep costs of attending as low as possible to the attendees. It is a place where people of all ages and from all over the country come to celebrate faith, fellowship and spiritual growth. LCC has touched thousands of lives over the last 85 years. This is the 85th anniversary of the Camp Meeting on the shores of Lake Ontario and we are working hard to keep the camp alive and vibrant so that it can continue to be a positive place for generations to come. It all started in an Apple Grove and we have 3 attendees who were little and attended that first Camp Meeting. Below is a description of LCC. The Silent auction will start on 7/2 and the live auction will be the finale of the fundraiser on 7/6.

What is Lighthouse Christian Camp?
LCC is a campground and cottage community that exists to provide spiritual inspiration, relaxation, recreation, and fellowship in a
nurturing Christian environment, ideal for families or large groups. Open for operation from May 1st to October 31st, LCC runs three organized camps each summer.
Where is it?
Located along the idyllic shores of Lake Ontario, LCC is just inside the eastern Niagara County border next to Golden Hill State Park, the home of 30 Mile Point Lighthouse.
Who can come?
Although LCC is affiliated with the Free Methodist Church, our grounds and rental facilities are open to everyone! All we ask is that you follow the few simple rules that are in place to ensure a positive and rejuvenating experience for everyone.
Are there Sunday Services?
Yes! Different speakers and pastors from area churches, many from Roberts Wesleyan College and Northeastern Seminary, come in every Sunday for a morning worship service. Services take place at 10:30am from Memorial Day to Labor Day every year.
Rental facilities?
Several cottage-style lodges, motel/suite units and rustic cabins are available for rent at any time during the summer. Sites for RVs, campers, and tents are located along fifth street and the lake. Large group facilities, including our new Lighthouse Commons with its 400 seat annex, are ideal for retreats, weddings, family reunions, picnics, and other events.
