Mount Luther: A Place Set Apart
Dear Parents, Campers and Friends,
Greetings! We can’t wait to welcome you to camp this summer as we learn more about serving God through our curriculum “Crosswalk.” Here, you will experience God through the love of Jesus Christ, in the beauty of creation, while learning how to serve your church, community, and world.
Outdoor Ministries is for all ages. Outdoor Ministries is the church in a place and time set apart and we look forward to sharing camp with you this summer so that you can experience God. Rooted in our Lutheran heritage in Central Pennsylvania, Camp Mount Luther is committed to renewing and strengthening your faith. You will live in an intentional Christian community and practice small group camping. Singing is also an important part of the Camp Mount Luther schedule.
We have 400 acres of forests with cabins, worship sites, fields, trails, campsites, and a pool. You’ll experience nature in activities like swimming, canoeing, camping, campfires, sports, singing, nature study, electives, and hiking. Mount Luther is a place for relaxation, fun, freedom, and responsibility. You’ll enjoy living simply without the distraction of television, video games, cell phones, the internet, and technology.
Mount Luther is a place to be yourself and belong. You’ll find your voice and most importantly, you’ll listen for God’s voice. You’ll experience service and Christian hospitality. You’ll develop new friendships and participate in service learning activities. You’ll help take care of our community. We hope this will lead to a life of discipleship and Christian leadership.
We’re sure you’ll find something you like from our traditional, specialty, and trip camps. We have some brand new camp offerings this year and we know you are going to like them! Look through these pages to discover a host of opportunities for you and your family.
I look forward to seeing you at camp this summer!
God’s Peace,
Chad Hershberger, Executive Director
P.S. Each week during the summer, we ask our campers to complete an evaluation form. Here are some things campers said last year about their time at camp:
- When asked, “Is there anything you didn’t like about camp?” one camper said, “Sometimes I miss my mom.”
- When describing their week at camp, campers responded with these: “One of my most favorite times of my life;” ”Full of religious wonders and exceptional friendships… and plenty of songs;” “The best week of my life;” “So awesome there is no word to describe it!” “The best! I want to come back.”
- When listing their favorite things at camp, campers said the supportive, awesome counselors, the bear, and the food.
