Summer CampsMinimize

Youth ages 4th grade through 12th are also encouraged to attend summer camps through Lutherock/Lutheridge in North Carolina and Lutheran Outdoor Ministries of Ohio. Summer programs offer family programs as well as age-appropriate opportunities for youth.

The 4th and 5th graders will do a wide variety of activities on the camp grounds. These students are in cabins that have their own bathroom and shower. Sixth graders may do either the Paddle and Pony program or a more traditional program at Lutheridge. All 7th and 8th graders will go to Lutherock, on the camp shuttle, for a week of rock climbing, repelling, caving and white water rafting.

Camp dates are July 19 to July 25. The $100 deposit is due to Anne Miller, in the church office, by March 15th.
