This year’s summer camp season will begin on June 18 and run until August 8. There are programs for all ages from preschool to senior high, and for adults and families. Camp Mount Luther is a special place where kids and families come together to grow with God and serve with smiles! Camp provides a safe place for people of all ages to relax and unwind in nature, discover God’s love, sing around the campfire, learn more about themselves, and make new friends while at the same time being renewed in mind and spirit.
Chad Hershberger, Executive Director of Camp Mount Luther, says this summer is shaping up to be one that affects even more campers’ lives.
“At Mount Luther, you’ll make new friends and get unplugged from home, focusing on developing life-long relationships. We do this through small group camping, where a cabin of boys and their counselor works with a cabin of girls and their counselor and forms a tight-knit community for the week. Our well-trained college-age staff and volunteer chaplains serve as role models. You live and play outside, eat good meals, get good rest, and use leisure time effectively.” Hershberger said.
