Summer Camp (It's not too early to start thinking about it. Really.)

It has often been said that, “camp changes lives.” And we believe that is true. We see it happen with our kids here at the church after they spend a week at Bible camp or get away for a weekend retreat. The most common feedback we get from confirmation kids when we ask, “What was the most significant faith-forming part of your confirmation experience?” is CAMP. And personally, if it were not for camp and working in college as a counselor at Lutheran camps, I probably would not have become a pastor. And so because we know the impact that Christian camp has on kid’s lives, we seek to not only provide, but promote as many Christian “camp” experiences as we can for the kids of Our Savior. Here’s what’s coming up this summer. Mark the dates on your calendar now, so you don’t miss out!

DAY CAMP
Our ever popular annual on-site camp here at Our Savior, with counselors from Lutheran Outdoor Ministries of Florida. Day Camp is a week of growing with God through faith sharing, fun, games, activities, skits, and more.

LUTHER SPRINGS CONFIRMATION CAMP

LUTHER ROCK HIGH ADVENTURE CAMP

LUTHER SPRINGS EXTENDED DISCOVERY WEEK
This camp week includes bussed transportation to camp as well. So you get to ride the bus with other South Florida campers and then spend a week at Luther Springs swimming, boating, canoe trips, team-building, Bible Study. Luther Springs offers a wonderful Christian experience for elementary kids first time of going away to camp.

Pastor Shelly
