Summer 2024 was nothing short of extraordinary. At both of our locations—Camp Luther in Mission and Camp Tulahead in Princeton—God's presence was profoundly felt in the lives of both campers and staff. The journey from the first day of camp to the final farewells was marked by countless moments of spiritual growth, community building, and joy.
At our Mission CAMPus, the summer was filled with vibrant energy as campers from all walks of life came together to experience the love of Christ in a safe, fun and love filled environment. The theme, Magnify the Mystery was unpacked during chapel times and quiet moments alike.
ALL THE STAFF, from the Kitchen to the Cabin Leaders, showed a dedicated and passionate commitment to camp's purpose and all played an instrumental role in facilitating this transformative experience. Many campers expressed how they felt seen, heard, and loved during their time at camp—an experience that was life-changing.
Highlights included our super fun chapel times with a first hand look at the inner workings of an art gallery. to the voices of campers singing praises. The activities, ranging from high-energy wide games to cool crafts, provided opportunities for campers to encounter God in diverse and personal ways.
Meanwhile, at Camp Tulahead, the summer was equally impactful. Nestled in the beautiful landscape of Princeton, this CAMPus offered a unique setting where campers could connect with God through nature. The serene environment set the stage for deep spiritual encounters, whether around the campfire, in the quiet of the morning, or during adventurous outdoor activities.
The staff at Tulahead went above and beyond in creating a space where every camper felt valued and loved. Their intentional efforts to build relationships and model Christ's love were evident in the many testimonies shared by campers. Many spoke of moments when they felt God’s presence more clearly than ever before—whether it was during a hike, a quiet time of prayer, or a late-night conversation under the stars.
The combination of outdoor adventure and spiritual reflection makes Tulahead a place where campers could unplug from their daily routines and truly focus on their relationship with God. The impact of these experiences will undoubtedly continue to influence their lives long after the summer ends.
This summer was a powerful reminder of the work God is doing in the lives of young people. Across both our Mission and Princeton CAMPuses, we witnessed transformations that will have a lasting impact. We are grateful for the dedicated staff, the supportive community, and most of all, for God’s presence throughout this incredible summer.
As we look forward to the next season, we are filled with anticipation for what God will continue to do through Camp Luther Ministries.
Thank you to everyone who made this summer possible—your prayers, support, and dedication have made an eternal difference in the lives of so many.
Thanks again for being a part of camp!
