The 41st annual Green Lake Lutheran Ministries Quilt Auction will take place Friday, July 11 and Saturday, July 12 at the Green Lake Bible Camp in Spicer. Visit Green Lake Bible Camp to see over 200 handmade quilts, enjoy quilting demonstrations and live music, shop in the Makers Market for your next crafting supplies, enjoy a hotdish supper or pulled pork lunch, a silent auction, bounce house and so much more! Events take place 3:00-8:00 PM on Friday, and 9:00-11:00 AM Saturday, and the live auction starts at 12:00 PM! All proceeds benefit the ministry happening at camp.

QUILT AUCTION 2025: JULY 11-12
The Annual Quilt Auction is Green Lake Lutheran Ministries’ largest fundraiser of the year – and a great time! Every year, over 200 quilts and Silent Auction items are donated and then auctioned off to support the ministry happening at camp. Under a tent on the shores of Green Lake over the course of a weekend, guests and donors enjoy the auction, meals, homemade doughnuts, live music and more. Tens of thousands of dollars are raised in an afternoon, supporting the ministry of GLLM.

If you are interested in supporting this event or volunteering, please contact Kirsten Palan, Associate Director of Development, at 320-796-2181 or kpalan@gllm.org!

DONATE TO THE AUCTION!
We accept donations of quilts, Silent Auction items, and cash. We can start accepting items May 1st and ask that all items be delivered to camp by July 2nd, 2025. Please submit an item form and read the guidelines carefully. Any quilts received after July 2nd may not be included in the booklet or listed online.

Please note: each individual item donated needs a donation form, with the exception of Makers Market donations. For Makers Market donations, just one will do with the donor’s contact information!

ONE AUCTION, FOUR SECTIONS
The Quilt Auction at Green Lake Bible Camp has grown over the years, requiring us to break the auction into smaller sections. They are as follows:
~Live Quilt Auction: the first 100 or so quilts are auctioned off live, in-person under the tent by Green Lake on Saturday, July 12 beginning at 12:00 PM.

~Online Quilt Auction: the remainder of the quilts are auctioned off online using GiveSmart, beginning Sunday, July 6 until Saturday, July 12 at 5:00 PM.

~Hybrid Silent Auction: bidding for the Silent Auction is done online using GiveSmart as well, beginning Sunday, July 6 until Saturday, July 12 at 4:00 PM.

~Instant Item Sale: these items are purchased outright rather than auctioned off. These can be purchased online using GiveSmart or in-person at Green Lake Bible Camp. Most of these items are one-of-a-kind – if you see something you like, it’s best to snatch it up!

All items are available on display in the Chrysalis House at Green Lake Bible Camp, beginning Friday, July 26 at 3:00 PM! Online bidding available beginning July 6.
