Off-Site Day Camp Resources

Day Camp brings part of Camp Mount Luther to your local church and community. It is designed to introduce outdoor ministry to children without staying overnight away from home. Day Camp can be used to enhance a Vacation Bible School program or it can be a separate entity altogether. It is not designed to replace programs already in existence at your church, but to enhance the total ministry.

Day Camp is a unique blend of outdoor ministries and congregational ministry. The trained staff at Mount Luther bring to the week their own enthusiasm and leadership and teaching styles. They also provide a schedule, curriculum and resources. Your local volunteers bring similar gifts and add to them the knowledge of needs and community resources. Together, the camp and the church make day camp an exciting and enriching experience.

A typical schedule for day camp includes worship, Bible Study, a snack, games, crafts, nature activities, and field trips. Times are adjusted to meet each group's needs. Worships are done in large group settings. Other activities are done by age groups determined by the congregation. Singing is also an integral part of the day camp experience.
