Can I bring my Game Boy, iPod, and phone to camp?

At Camp Lake Hubert, we embrace an "unplugged" philosophy to help everyone connect with nature and each other. While you may travel with your electronic devices, we kindly ask that you turn them in for safekeeping at the camp office upon your arrival. This ensures that camp remains a space to unwind and enjoy the great outdoors, free from the distractions of everyday electronic connections. At the end of each session, cellular phones will be charged and returned to you for your trip home. We do allow CD/MP3 players, iPods, and Kindles that do not have video capability within the cabin. However, we recommend that speakers be left at home. If you choose to bring one, please keep it in your cabin and be mindful of the volume level and when you use it, as we respect our cabinmates and the natural surroundings. Please note that Camp Lake Hubert is not responsible for any items that break, get lost, or are stolen. Please refer to our parent handbook for more details on our electronics policy.

If I come to camp with a friend from home, will we be in the same cabin?

At Camp Lake Hubert, we’re excited to support friendships! We do our best to honor your cabinmate request if you and your friend are in the same grade and staying for the same length of time. While we can’t guarantee you will be in the same cabin or chalet (sleeping room), we believe that every camper has the chance to make wonderful new friends. Even if you and your friend are in different cabins, camp is a fantastic place to connect with others through fun activities and shared experiences. Many campers form lasting friendships while at camp, creating a warm and supportive community.

What other rules do I need to know about camp?

At Camp Lake Hubert, safety—both physical and emotional—is our top priority. We ask that all campers follow our safety protocols in every aspect of camp life to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Campers are expected to embrace our five Core Camp Values, which you will hear often throughout the summer. As a community focused on belonging and support, we encourage you to show compassion to your fellow campers and foster an environment of social-emotional safety. This includes maintaining a clean living space, respecting yourself and others, and celebrating each other's differences. And, of course, we expect you to have FUN! Specific camp expectations are also detailed in the Parent Handbook, so review it for more information. We look forward to a summer filled with joy, friendship, and personal growth!

What if I have a birthday while at camp?

Camp birthdays are very special! If your birthday occurs while you are at camp, then it’s your lucky day! During one of the meals on your special day, you will be sung Happy Birthday-camp style- and receive a yummy birthday cake to share with your cabinmates. Your friends and family will be able to send you birthday cards, but, remember, no care packages will be accepted. Please review the parent handbook for more details about our no-care package policy.

Can I bring items from home to make my sleeping room my own?

Absolutely! Pictures and appropriate posters are acceptable to make your sleeping space your own. We ask that you use masking or painter's tape so that we can keep our cabin walls in pristine condition.

Is there a dress code?

Camp Lake Hubert is a non-uniform camp, but we expect campers to dress appropriately. We recommend comfortable and functional clothing that prepares you for Minnesota’s diverse weather and various activities. For water sports, we suggest wearing one-piece bathing suits that provide full coverage, ensuring you can fully enjoy the rigors of our aquatic adventures. On Chapel Sundays, we honor a special tradition established by Grace Rogers, our founding camp director. We kindly ask that campers and staff wear all-white clothing to participate in this meaningful observance during our Chapel service.

What if I can’t get along with some of my cabin mates? Can I be moved or switch cabins?

At Camp Lake Hubert, we place campers in cabins to foster a supportive environment and help you build lifelong skills in getting along with different people. Camp is a beautiful opportunity to meet new friends and strengthen existing relationships. If you find yourself having difficulty with some of your cabin mates, we encourage open communication and teamwork to work through any challenges. Our camp staff is here to support you and can provide guidance as needed. Remember, every experience at camp contributes to your personal growth and the friendships you create!

I have many questions but don't know who to direct them to. Who should I contact?

We’re here to help! Please contact us with questions about camp policies, activities, etc. We believe camp and parents are partners in helping set up campers for success while away from home. For specific inquiries, we encourage you to call the camp director directly. We are happy to talk with you or set up an online call to speak with the whole family. You can also contact us via email or phone with any general questions, and our friendly staff will be happy to assist you.

Stacey Dyer

Director of Camp Lake Hubert

Stacey hails from Colorado, where she grew up at Sanborn Western Camp, where her father was a Director. She joined the Camp Lake Hubert family for 5 years as a camper, including the LT program, and more years on staff when she did everything from a counselor, to High Ropes Activity Director. Stacey has returned to the shores of Lake Hubert for many summers assisting with staff training and now works year-round from her home in Ft Collins, CO. At camp, Stacey can be found at the barn, at the range, on the waterfront, in the kitchen or even making "monkey bread" for a snack. At home, Stacey finds time to work with children doing aquatic therapy.

Favorite Camp Activity: High Ropes

Best Camp Memory: Taking the horses for a swim in Lake Hubert

Favorite Camp Meal: BLT Sandwiches

Childhood Hobbies: Horseback Riding

Favorite Camp Core Value: Excellence

Goofiest thing I've done at Camp: Making 24 loaves of banana bread at one time using Camp's 100-year-old mixer. Best bread ever and I am sure it was all about the mixer.

Shay Magnuson

Associate Director

Shay grew up in Bend, OR, where she developed a love for the outdoors and mountains. She spent several summers at Camp Lake Hubert as Head Counselor, Gymnastics & Cheerleading Activity Specialist, and Division Director. At the University of Notre Dame, Shay earned a Sociology degree, while fulfilling Pre-Med requirements. Passionate about helping others, she previously worked for a non-profit advocating for individuals with disabilities in the workforce. When at home in Oregon, you'll find Shay running, paddleboarding, hiking, playing pickleball, and greeting every dog she meets.

Goofiest thing I've done at Camp: Judging cabin cookout challenges - the peanut butter and jelly, marshmallow mateys, hot chocolate powder, and cottage cheese concoction being the most memorable!

Augusta Loehrer

Director of Staffing and Operations

Growing up in Northern Minnesota, Augusta is no stranger to life in the woods; if you get the chance, you should ask her about the time she was locked in the house with a bear! After graduating college with a degree in Youth Ministry, she spent time serving young people in Minnesota and Indiana where she met a lot of amazing people, heard some incredible stories, and got a little teased for her thick Minnesotan accent. After returning home, she took a job as a director at the camp she grew up at before finding herself on the shores of Lake Hubert! Despite people always knowing exactly where she is from, Augusta has visited 30 states and 26 countries with hopes to add more. When she's not traveling or getting into shenanigans you can find her at a coffee shop with a good book, spending time with friends, or walking Buster the dog with her husband, Brian. Augusta loves her Chacos, Diet Coke, dirt track racing, and the Vikings-probably in that order!

Favorite Camp Activity: Anything on the water-I really love the zipline or running the weenie!

Best Camp Memory: Every time Canadian Wilderness or Linger is sung at a campfire.

Favorite Camp Meal: Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Childhood Hobbies: Reading, climbing trees, reading in the trees, driving ATVs on the trails, outdoor neighborhood games, swimming, and baking!

Favorite Camp Core Value: Quality relationships-I think people are so important. Camp provides the perfect opportunity to learn from people you would have never interacted with before or to meet someone exactly where they are at for exactly who they are! Camp allows us to connect with one another in a truly genuine way.

Goofiest thing I've done at Camp: I once told some campers that if they found two leeches I would wear them as earrings. A year later they remembered and I stayed true to my word! I would not recommend them as your next fashion statement.

Singing at Camp Lincoln and Camp Hubert Nisswa Minnesota

CAMP SONGS

At Camp Lake Hubert, singing bonds us together, echoing across our grounds. From campfires to dining halls, our songs create connections between campers and staff. Generational classics and new tunes blend in our repertoire. Each cabin has its own song, shared at campfires and meals. It's a tradition we proudly uphold, teaching newcomers within their first days. In all-camp sing-alongs, our spirit shines bright as campers and staff unite in harmony, weaving the threads of our shared experience.
