Programs

Luther Heights Bible Camp offers many programs opportunities suited for everyone! Spending time at camp in the summer is a wonderful way for young people to grow in their relationship with God and others in a caring Christian community. Campers will enjoy growing in faith in the beautiful Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho.

We seek to be a resource for congregations as well.  Outdoor ministry is an extension of congregational ministry, which helps people of all ages make a deeper connections with their faith and with their church family. We offer programs for church groups and individuals. Experience one of our retreat offerings or create your own. We welcome groups from Idaho and beyond!

1st through 3rd grades

Designed for youth entering 1st through 3rd grades is our shorter camp program, which is only four days and three nights. This offers both child and parent the ability to adjust to being apart. We know it’s not easy to leave home for the first time or leave your child for the first time but we have well-trained and caring staff working hard to create a faith-nurturing atmosphere. Although short, the camp week still includes all-camp games, singing, worship, and other adventures tailored specifically for their age.

4th through 6th grades

Youth entering 4th through 6th grades get to start attending our week long programs. With advanced activities, like special interests, horseback riding, and extended day hikes, our week long programs offers a notable increase is maximized fun!

7th and 8th grades

Youth entering 7th and 8th grades are offered a program all their own. We acknowledge that Junior High is often a time when youth begin asking deep questions about Christian faith. Therefore, we are committed to helping them bridge the gap between their worlds of child and young adult by providing safe and exciting faithful experiences. There are a wide variety of Junior High programs, from the traditional week at camp, to trails camp and canoe camp, and even service events designed just for them.

9th through 12th grades

Youth entering 9th through 12th grades are offered programs to encounter Christ in intentional, faithful experiences.  Our staff is ready to walk with Senior High youth as they venture down their Christian faith walk, no matter where they are in their journey. Enthusiastic youth return year after year and continue to welcome those who are new. It’s a great family of friends that walk together and grow together in their faith.  Our Senior High programs include a traditional week at camp, backpacking and service event options for groups.

Day Camps

Additionally, we offer a variety of off-site day camps, bringing Luther Heights to your backyard! While some programs for different age groups are offered onsite at the same time, programs and housing are separate.

Community groups and organizations, as well as church groups are encouraged to use the facilities at Luther Heights Bible Camp. Non–Lutheran faith based groups are welcome to use the site for retreats, as are non–faith based groups.  There are many opportunities to spend time in the Sawtooth’s at Luther Heights! A wedding, family reunion, Boy Scout retreat, or anything else you can think of!!!!
We are the family of God!  Singles, couples, children, aunts, uncles, Godparents, Grandparents, and friends — these all fall under the definition of family.  There are many ways to experience camp life at any age, whether it’s a day–long trip, a weekend retreat, a week at camp or volunteering with day camp a local community.
