Eight weeks of adventure — right in your backyard.
Day Camp at Lutheridge gives kids who’ve completed kindergarten through 4th grade a full summer camp experience — no packing required. Drop them off at 8:00 am, and pick up a tired, happy, mud-splattered kid at 4:30 pm.
Every day is packed with adventure: swimming, archery, canoeing, nature hikes, an indoor climbing wall, field games, crafts, and more — led by trained college-age counselors and supervised by an on-site Area Director all week long.
Each week has its own theme, so kids can try one week or sign up for the whole summer. Breakfast and lunch are included every day, and Friday features a closing program at 3:00 pm so families can share in the fun.
At Lutheridge, every activity is shaped by one simple idea: every child is valued, known, and belongs here.

A few things you may be wondering.
Here are a few answers to help you feel confident before you register.
Is this the right week for my camper?
If your camper sits right on the edge of this week's grades, call us at 828-209-6302 before you decide. A year either way can matter more than the number on the page, and we'd rather talk it through with you than have you guess.
And if the bigger question is whether they'll make friends, ask us that too.
What if we can't afford it?
Then tell us, and we'll work it out with you.
You choose one of three price tiers, and the tier you choose stays between you and us. Every camper gets the same week, whichever tier you pick.
If Tier I is still out of reach, there are scholarship funds for families in that spot, and our registration office can set up a payment plan.
A $175 deposit holds your camper's place when you register.
Can my camper call home?
Phones and other devices stay home at summer camp, and campers don't usually call home while they're here.
If you need to reach your camper, call the office at 828-209-6302.
What do we need to turn in before camp?
Every form is completed online in CampWise when you register, including your camper's health information and the waiver. There's nothing to download or mail.
The week you register is the easiest time to finish them.
Who's looking after my camper?
Counselors who live in the cabin with them. Every counselor has a background check before their first day.
Do you have to be Lutheran to come?
No. We're a ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and we welcome everyone the way God welcomes everyone, whatever your background, your family or your circumstances.
