Calumet

LGBTQIA+ friends!

*You* are welcome here

During 2021, Calumet's Board of Directors chose to double down on the bold and sincere messaging that -- truly -- All are welcome here at Calumet. It's important to Calumet's Board and leadership team that this message be heard loud and clear by those who are LGBTQIA+ and/or those who love people who identify as LGBTQIA+. Thanks for reading the results of the Board's work.

From the Board of Directors:

God’s creative and gracious love is a gift of grace promised to all -- without limits and without exceptions. In response to our radically/wonderfully inclusive God, Calumet Lutheran Ministries is a place where all may encounter the joy and wonder of God’s great creation.

God creates people with great diversity including race, ability, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class. God takes on a body in Jesus Christ, and in so doing deems all bodies holy. Calumet celebrates our God-given diversity and affirms that every body is made in God’s image -- beautifully and wonderfully made. We honor, respect, celebrate, and foster diversity: valuing the gifts of each member of our community. We continually seek to build and expand our community through programs of outreach and partnership; and, we continually seek to build and expand our awareness of and knowledge about our siblings in Christ through continuing education and training.

Calumet confesses that racism, sexism, ableism, and homophobia/queerphobia are sins that divide God’s creation. We acknowledge the church’s role in perpetuating these sins, and we commit ourselves to removing them from our community. With our commitment to celebrate diversity, we likewise commit to welcome especially those whom society marginalizes. We acknowledge that this work is never complete, and we likewise commit to ongoing reexamination, education, and reformation for greater inclusion.

In that spirit, Calumet clearly and deliberately invites people of all genders and sexual identities and resolves itself to ensure their safety, well-being, and integrity.

Calumet specifically invites people of color and resolves itself to ensure their safety, well-being, and integrity.

Calumet invites people of all abilities and resolves itself to ensure their safety, well-being, and integrity. Calumet is a place where you can be yourself, and we delight in who you are.

Calumet's primary responsibility is for the safety and security of our campers . To help meet that responsibility, Calumet has adopted certain policies governing the collection and use of personal information.

This document describes how Calumet handles the personal information we learn about you when you contact us by mail, phone, email, or when you access our web site. Any personally identifying information you provide is voluntary. We use it for program registration, to fulfill requests you make, or to assist us in carrying out our mission.

Collection of Personal Information

Calumet collects your personal information when you register for a program, make a donation, or otherwise voluntarily provide such information. If you contact Calumet, we may keep a record of that correspondence.

We will use your information to process enrollment requests, orders, and donations, to provide you with information about Calumet programs and services we believe will be of interest to you, and to ask for your support.

In some cases, a third party may be contracted by us to provide a specific service. We will only disclose as much personal information as necessary. For example, when we use the mailing service of our printer to send a Calumet newsletter, we will share only the information necessary for delivery of the newsletter. Any third party with which Calumet shares information has agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the information.

We may share your information with third parties in other limited circumstances, including when complying with legal process, preventing imminent harm, or ensuring the safety and security of our campers, facilities, and programs. This includes confidential medical information that complies with federal statutes.

Calumet does not sell, rent, or otherwise provide information from our database to third parties except for the reasons stated above.
