About Camp

Welcome...

When Christians talk about having a vocation from God, we are saying that God calls us.  The word vocation comes from the Latin vocare, which corresponds to the English "to call."  The first thing you say about vocation is, "Thank you, God."  The fact that God talks to us — that God calls us — is a wonderful thing.  We are not left alone to make sense of our lives.  We are not left alone to make it through the day.  The God of the universe wants to communicate with us.  The Bible talks about God's "Word" because God is a communicating God.

God's communication has its center in Jesus Christ.  God is not distant and out of our reach, a God whom we can glimpse only if we try very hard and do everything right.  Rather, God is in the midst of human life and history, in the person of Jesus.  God is in all of human life, even death.  Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Jesus.

Come join us at Luther Heights Bible Camp — a place where God will continue to call and speak to you in new and exciting ways.  Our staff are carefully chosen and well trained so that you will have a safe, exciting and memorable experience living out the Christian faith.

Resource Pastors/AIMS/Youth Workers

Pastors, AIMs, paid and volunteer youth workers are invited to participate in the program.  Join the youth of your congregation in a week that significantly impacts their lives.  Lead a devotion, assist in worship, tag along on a Bible Study with a cabin group, go on a hike.  Most importantly, simply be at camp with kids!  Bringing camp home can be challenging.  Help your youth bring their faith back down the mountain and into your congregation.  Contact Eric Olsen, Camp Pastor/Director, for more information.

Luther Heights Bible Camp is proud to be accredited by the American Camping Association. Developed exclusively for the camp industry, this nationally–recognized program focuses on program quality and health and safety issues, and requires us to review every facet of our operation annually.

Bible Study

Gathering as the people of God, we study, worship, pray, and play together.  Our focus is on sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and of living out this promise in an intentional Christian community.  Campers will return home knowing they are called to be in the world, sharing Christ's love, and being who they are called to be.
