~Holy Trinity- Wholly Love~

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”  (Revelation 22:13 NRSV)

Welcome to Junior Camp 2024!!! The dedicated Junior Staff of counselors, teachers, and deans have been busy planning an exciting and unforgettable week for you.  Whether you are a returning camper, or new to camp this year, we can’t wait to spend the week with you. During this week, you will be able to learn how “to know God more fully and know ourselves more wholly”, make new friends, try new things, and start/continue your ten-year journey through Camp Luther.  Campers are able to explore a closer relationship with God and his teachings through classes, different types of worship services, theme-oriented activities, small group activities and all camp events.

Camp begins on Sunday, June 16, 2024, with afternoon registration beginning at 2pm and ends Saturday, June 22th. (Campers must be picked up no later than 9am on Saturday) Each camper that applies and the application is postmarked no later than June 1st, will receive a camp shirt upon arrival at no extra charge.  Each camper will receive a schedule of cabin/counselor assignment, class schedule, and will be able to deposit money in the “bank”.  All of the Junior’s cabins and activities throughout the day, are located in lower camp.  The experienced counselors will be there to guide your son/daughter with moving into the cabin, follow the daily schedule, and will remain a steady presence throughout the week.  After registration, the campers are free to swim, play games, and meet new friends.  Dinner will be served at 5pm and immediately following will be an all camp worship and assembly with individual programs where we will introduce all of the Junior Staff and take them on a tour of the camp to orient them and show them their boundaries.

The theme for this year is “Holy Trinity Wholly Love”
