9to5 Day Camp (Grade K-3)

Campers can experience Luther Crest during the day and go home each night!

This Day Camp is designed for the 9to5 working parent schedule. Campers will sing songs, play games, have crazy worships, learn about Jesus through active bible studies and fun crafts, swim in Lake Carlos, go on hikes and visit the nature room animals. Plan to drop off campers Monday through Thursday at 9:00 AM and pick up campers at 5:00 PM. Parents are responsible for a sack lunch and transportation each day.

***Please check to see if your church is already hosting a Luther Crest Day Camp. If it is, we recommend that you participate in your church's Day Camp in order to avoid any program overlap as all Luther Crest Day Camps (on and off site) offer the same 2010 summer theme, bible talks, crafts and activities.

Keepers (Grade 10-12) --- formerly known as Tri-Campers

For those who ever wondered what it would be like to work at Luther Crest!

This 3-week experience will help campers see what a camp counselor does! During the first week, campers learn songs, games, lead Bible talks, worships and campfires as well as learn about building community, responding to campers with respect and care and having a servant heart. The next two weeks will be spent sharing faith with younger cabins, living and working with a counselor in a cabin, possibly going to a day camp, going home each Friday and returning to camp each Sunday. Due to increased demand and expectations, once we receive your registration, prospective Keepers must complete an application and we must receive 2 references. We will contact you to let you know if you have qualified for the Program. Campers must have completed Grade 10. Limited to 10 campers.

July 11-30 Cost: $350
