Summer camp at Lutheridge

Elementary

Kindergarten–6th grade

PreKamp and Day Camp are camp by day, with pick-up every afternoon. Pioneers is a full week away, with a counselor living in the cabin. Pioneer Sampler is a shorter first try, for a camper (or a parent) who isn't sure about a whole week yet. Climb High and Crazy Cool Campout add more adventure for older elementary campers.

Middle School

5th–9th grade

Middle school weeks at Lutheridge are called Explorers, and each one has its own adventure built in: a river, a ropes course, a cave, a bike trail, two summits, a canoe trip, or a week that runs after dark. Pick the adventure your camper keeps talking about, and the rest of camp comes with it. Kairos and Campfirmation are confirmation weeks, taught at camp.
