Camperships
Sometimes the ones who need camp the most are the ones who can’t afford to pay for it.
Your gifts to Lutherhaven Ministries gives every child, youth, and family the opportunity to attend a Lutherhaven or Shoshone camp or retreat, regardless of their ability to pay.
No one is turned away from a Lutherhaven camp for financial reasons. No one, ever!
Did you know that the true cost of summer camp is over $818 per camper, but because of the combined generosity of Lutherhaven partners, congregations, and donors, camp was able to be offered at $498 per camper (that’s a $320 difference per camper!). Additionally, camperships of any amount are always available; campers are never turned away due to financial difficulties. Not ever! Any kid! Anytime!
In 2024, 100% of campers received financial assistance because camp is committed to keeping costs low for all families! Over half of our campers received additional financial support, totaling over $133,116 from congregations, groups, individuals and families. We subsidize more campers than any other camp in the region with the exception of the Union Gospel Mission camps.
How can we do this? Two words: We can’t—not without your help!
Your gifts toward Camperships truly bless the lives of many, many campers each summer. For over 79 years Lutherhaven programs have been key in the faith-formation to thousands of young people, giving kids the moral and spiritual compass they need to develop into effective leaders in our world.
Thanks for giving the gift of camp!
