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 Christs
precious love,

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.

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.

be accompanied by a Luther Park staff person whenever outside
of camp property.

to offer an alcohol-free, smoke-free and substance abuse-free
