Summer Camp 2024

Registration Cost goes up on March 1st. Sibling Discount: $15 off per week for each additional sibling. Multi-Week Discount is $25 off each additional week. First Time Family Camper discount is 15% off the entire cost of camp if this is your first year.
At Lutheran Lakeside, our campers enjoy time in a welcoming community that embraces them for who they are. Campers are given unique opportunities to try new things, challenge themselves, enjoy creation, make friends, and grow in their faith. We use Challenge by Choice. Campers get to decide how they challenge themselves with the support and encouragement of camp staff and peers. This allows for individual campers to experience personal growth, connection, faith formation, and leads to long term benefits such as confidence, independence, ability to share faith, leadership skills, problem solving, and more! The shorter way we say all of this is camp is the BEST.WEEK.EVER!

Mission Trips

July 21-26 | July 28-Aug. 2

Groups of adults and/or high school students are invited to the best service week ever! Enjoy comfortable housing, delicious meals, activities, worship, and down time in the local area. This week will provide not only much needed service to Lakeside, but will build community and connection among your group. We have service projects for all ages and abilities. Your group will coordinate with our staff to pick the right project(s) for your time at Lakeside. 

Please register as Volunteer/Mission Group under camp registration. 

$250 per person or $50 a day for partial weeks

Adults

We welcome parents, grandparents, family friends or others to attend camp for the week. Maybe you don’t want your camper to be alone so you or someone they know comes with. Maybe Grandma/Grandpa have the week and want to experience camp with their grandchild, maybe your camper has exceptional medical needs and you’d feel better being close. Whatever the reason is, you are welcome. 

We have many opportunities for individuals to get involved. It is important that campers still have their own space and opportunities so they can have the best possible camp experience. Adults stay in separate housing than campers. Adults enjoy meals and worship with the campers. Adults are given the camper’s schedule so you can witness them at the zip line or waterfront. We enjoy finding ways for the adults to have their own unique camp experience. After conversations we can find the best way for you to utilize your time.

Adults in the past have assisted in the kitchen, mowing, painting, office work, leading crafts, landscaping, and helping lead other activities. We only ask adults to do what they are comfortable with. If they will be leading activities with campers we do require a background check. You would register as a volunteer for the same week as your camper. You’d be housed in a modern facility with AC/Bedding/WIFI. 

 

$250 per person or $50 per day for partial weeks.
