Delegate Information

A delegate is the most important link with the congregation, youth director, pastor and office staff that VLM has! The VLM full-time staff would love to be present in our member congregations every Sunday, but we simply can’t do it. We need your help! Share VLM with your congregation and bring your congregations ideas to VLM.

In the spring of 2010, VLM held a Delegate training event right before the Camp Hiawatha Workday. While our numbers were small – the event was great! Over 7 Congregations were represented, ideas were shared, camp updates were discussed - and all had a wonderful meal provided by Jan Soltis, our Hospitality Coordinator. Read an article about delegates written by Jergen Furh, Faith Lutheran Duluth’s past delegate. Thank you, Jergen.

Meet Myrna Peterson

If you are a new delegate – please email the VLM office and we along with Myrna will send you information.

Myrna Peterson delegates@vlmcamps.org of Grand Rapids is our Volunteer Delegate Coordinator!

Myrna Peterson has been connected with VLM through Camp Hiawatha where she helped with site and program leadership in the 1980’s. Since then, she has been one of our biggest advocates in her congregations (Bethany, Deer River and, most recently, at St. Andrews in Grand Rapids). Myrna’s new role with VLM will be to help inform and engage the Delegates at our member congregations. She will assist the VLM Staff with our Delegate training and communications. In addition, Myrna will be helping to plan opportunities for Delegates to gather and share ideas about how to be advocates for Camp Hiawatha and Camp Vermilion in their congregations. Myrna also serves on the VLM Marketing Team.
