Keeping
the Earth
Dear Friends,
We invite you to join us at Luther park this summer as we encounter
God's teachings and examples of having servant hearts. Our theme
this summer is "Keeping the Earth" based on Romans 8:19
~ "All creation is eagerly waiting for God to reveal who his
children are." Along with all the staff we hope you join us
for this new adventure.

In Christ’s
precious love,

of Conduct
- Respect other
people and their property. Respect is the most important tradition
we have at Luther Park. We expect that you respect yourself, others
and their property, Luther Park staff, nature and God. A part
of respect is treating others as you would want to be treated.
The following will not be allowed: racist comments, teasing, fighting,
threats, swearing, and any other behavior that is demeaning to
another person. We want a positive week for all
who
attend camp.
- Safety is
our number one concern at all times. Obeying all waterfront rules
when: swimming, boating, canoeing and fishing allows everyone
to have fun in the sun. Waterfront activities are available only
when waterfront staff is on duty.
- Campers must
be accompanied by a Luther Park staff person whenever outside
of camp property.
- We are pleased
to offer an alcohol-free, smoke-free and substance abuse-free
environment. Exceptions must be approved by the director.

weapon or explosive device, including firecrackers to camp. Use
of any object as a weapon to hurt a
person,

reserves the right to store camper’s personal items that
may be inappropriate to their stay. Items will be returned for
the trip home upon permission of the parent(s).
- For your
protection, all medications (including non-prescription pain relievers)
must be turned into the camp health supervisor. If you are injured

supervisor. This is important for your safety and for the good
of all campers.
