Fundraisers & Fundraising Opportunities
Farmington Lutheran recognizes that attending camp or participating in summer youth trips is an investment, and we want to help make these experiences accessible for every family. We offer a variety of fundraising opportunities designed to help offset the cost of attending these events.
Please note that some fundraisers are open to all ages, while others are designated for specific camps or trips. Be sure to double-check eligibility requirements before signing your youth up for a fundraiser to ensure it applies to their event.
If your family needs additional assistance with the cost of camp or a trip, we encourage you to reach out to Pastor Ben or Pastor Kristen. FLC also offers scholarships to help support families as needed.others.
