Camp Luther, located north of Columbus and Schuyler on 160-acres of rolling hills with an oak forest, lake, and open meadows, has ministered to God’s people in the midst of His creation for 34 years. This ministry provides opportunities to strengthen families and to nurture the faith of individuals. The strength of the ministry has been with 4^th -9^th graders through the summer camps and outdoor education programs. Programs including 4-year-olds up to adults are also expanding.

Outdoor ministries can be a catalyst for change. Helping people get away from their everyday environment and into a more neutral atmosphere can help people learn about themselves, others, and learn about the God who seeks to be in relationship with them. Many of these people’s needs can be best met in an extended time apart from their everyday lives in a unique Christian setting.

We praise God for rapid growth in the number of campers in the last decade and they have plans to add space for more campers by building large tree house cabins in the woods, as well as future plans for more housing for year-round staff, a swimming pool, gym, family cabins, and an adult retreat center.

This ministry is unique among ministries in Nebraska for several reasons. It is the only LCMS camp facility in the District. It has a unique and distinct setting and it offers unique programs to campers including

• Challenge courses
• Canoe camps
