“Prepare you the way of the Lord” Isaiah 40:3

Luther Park Bible Camp offers a Christ-centered camping experience for people of all ages. Staff is trained to help campers understand God’s message of love and grace and to be positive Christian role models. Al children and youth are encouraged to participate in Luther Park’s summer programs. If you have any questions about special circumstances , please call the camp at 715-859-2215. Programs of Luther Park are open to all.

Worship at Luther Park is a fun and very creative experience. This year’s theme, “Say What?!” will ex-plore the parables of Jesus. The theme will be incorporated into morning devotion, bible study, evening worship and campfire with lively skits, songs and messages led by staff and many local pastors.

Communication with campers is encouraged in the form of emails, letters and faxes from parents. Campers can send news home via stamped mail or by fax/email sheets which are scanned and sent to parents daily. Phone use is restricted to emergency use only. Campers are not allowed to bring cell phone to camp.

Canteen is available for camper on a daily basis to purchase snacks and Luther Park merchandise. Money can be deposit into a Canteen account when you register online or during Sunday check-in. Unspent camp store money will be returned to camper Friday morning prior to closing program. During the closing program an offering will be taken to help support the camp scholarship program and camper can choose to make a donation at this time.

Scholarships are available upon request. Contact our office for more information. Many churches also offer scholarships.

Staff is central to the ministry of Luther Park. Luther Park hires 35+ college age summer staff. The hiring process for staff included interview, reference check, and a background screening. All summer staff then go through two weeks of intensive training on a wide variety of topics. Training focuses on three key areas; safety, spiritual growth and fun!

Health Care is an important part of camp life. A health care manager or nurse is on staff. Counselors receive training in basic first aid and CPR. Insurance coverage is the responsibility of the camper’s family. While not re-quired, we do recommend a health exam by a professional prior to your child attending camp. Please notify the camp in advance of any specific food allergies or health concerns.

Activities & Opportunities for new experience abound at Luther Park. Campers will have the opportunity for an ever increasing variety of activities; including swimming in the pool, canoeing, kayaking, archery, volleyball, basketball, arts and crafts, singing, campfire, high energy games, the ever popular Ga Ga ball and New for 2015 the expanded high ropes course and more.
