Faith Lessons
This camp has always been very dear to my heart. I attended myself as a child. My son sees how great it is to be a Christian. He soaked up more in three days at Luther Point than in Sunday School all year. He was able to see how great being a Lutheran is. How fun it is to serve God.

An Amazing Experience
The BUDDIES program was an amazing experience that I’ll never forget! I learned how to open up and share my faith, grew closer to God, met many awesome people and found there are others who share my struggles and dreams. There is definitely no better way to spend two weeks out of your summer than as a buddy at Luther Point!

Meeting New People
Dear Staff and Counselors,
Thank you for an awesome week…I had an excellent experience. I met a lot of new people. I enjoyed being there and talking to people I knew from Day Camp. All the counselors were excellent and very kind and nice. I got to know way more counselors than before. Talk to all of you later. ~ Letter from a 13 year old camper
Life-changing Experience
This experience was truly life-changing. We learned to work together as a team and to be a servant of God. People look up to you, especially the younger kids, but not only them, the older kids and adults too! It’s a great experience and opportunity to serve and meet new people of all ages. ~ Buddy
That’s God
One week after Wednesday prayer service While we were praying outside, one of my campers looks up into the sky and says, “Shooting Star!” We all look up and sure enough, the sky was full of beautiful shooting stars. I felt God’s love and overwhelming presence with us. Another camper replies with “That’s God!” and continued with Thank you God, you’re amazing and we love you! As we were laughing and rejoicing, I had a huge smile on my face and said, “Girls, these shooting stars are just for us, and he knew they would put a smile on each of our faces”. God revealed himself to my campers that night, but not only to my campers, he revealed himself to me. Sometimes we all need reminders that God really exists. He knows.

A Child Shall Lead Them
By week seven, I was pretty convinced I had done the Bible studies often enough that I’d looked at them from every angle. Then I had a camper who would say something at every Bible study that I had never thought of. Really, I was blessed because all of my girls paid attention and contributed in Bible study and we had some of the most amazing conversations. These girls were twelve years old and having real discussions about heaven, grace and the weight of sin. God was truly present that week, showing me amazing compassion, insight, and talent through my girls, especially through the one that always challenged me to see things new and fresh, even though my summer was almost over.
