Why become a Luther Park Member Congregation?

Non-corporate churches are those that do not support any ELCA Bible camp. Ask your pastor about your church becoming a Corporate Member of the Luther Park Corporation.

Check with your church or Luther Park about camper scholarships!

• Camping Programs
  Luther Park becomes an outreach of your church’s ministry. You are ensured a continuum of excellent outdoor ministry programming for your youth and adults.
• Retreat Facilities
  Luther Park becomes an extension of your own church buildings; a safe and familiar and spiritual place to get away.
• Lower Fees
  Congregation members pay lower camping and retreat fees than non-members.
• Current Information
  Luther Park keeps you informed about outdoor ministry events and opportunities through the Echoes and Reflections newsletters, brochures, news releases, flyers, posters, visits from Luther Park staff, and more.
• Leadership Development
  Congregations with close ties to a Bible camp find their own clergy and lay leadership are developed and strengthened by the opportunities for renewal and learning provided at camp.
• Decision-Making 
  Member congregations can take part in the decision-making and shaping of Luther Park and its programs, property and facilities by voting at meetings and serving on camp boards and committees.
