Frequently Asked Questions

This is a list of our frequently asked questions! If you still have questions left unanswered after going through this page, please contact camp at campluther@campluther.org or by calling (402) 352-5655.

  • Registration will be available for one week in December, then open in January. You will be able to register online. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your spot. Full tuition and completed health forms are due two weeks prior to arrival.

  • Yes, there are! In December, you will be able to register with the highest discount offered. An early-bird discount of $20 is available for those who register between January 8 and March 15 (Note: There is no discount for Family Camp). There is also a multi-child discount of $50 for each additional camper from the same family (And families with 3 or more children may qualify for special pricing. Please contact camp for more information). Financial assistance is often available through congregations and auxiliary groups, so be sure to ask your pastor or church office about scholarships prior to registration. If financial need persists, please see below to learn about our campership program.

  • Yes, camp does have a campership program! We believe no child should be denied a summer camp experience due to lack of funds. If you are in need of financial assistance and have already checked out the options listed in the discounts section above, we ask that you and your pastor or church worker fill out our Campership Form. You can just fill out the top, and your pastor/church worker will fill out the bottom and submit it to us. We will work with your church from there to ensure that your child will be able to join us at Camp Luther! For further questions or concerns, please call the office at 402-352-5655 or email campluther@campluther.org.

  • Please visit our "What to Bring" page.

  • Safety is important to us. We take great measures to ensure that every camper is having a safe experience. Every member of our staff is trained in First Aid and CPR, and we have a trained medication aid on staff. During waterfront, our trained lifeguards watch over swim time, and campers must pass a swim test to swim in the deeper water. Appropriately sized life jackets are mandated for every child going out in a canoe, kayak, or pedal boat. We follow the rule of three so that no camper is ever alone or without a member of staff close by. Additionally, at waterfront and large group games, we use the buddy system and run cabin group checks so we know everyone is accounted for. We have tornado shelters and storm shelters on camp and an emergency response plan. Please let us know if you have more questions about camp safety!

  • We have several ways for you to send your camper some love during their camp session. You'll find details on that at this page!

  • An average day consists of morning chapel, breakfast, field games, Bible Study, an activity of your camper's choice, lunch, FOB ("Flat on Bunk" rest time), waterfront, snack time, shower time, cabin choice time, large group game, campfire, and evening devotions. Almost every activity your camper does is with their cabin group of up to 10 kids, one Counselor, and one Future Leader. There are also some times during each day, like campfire and large group games, where the whole camp gathers together for an activity. Let us know if you'd like more details about "camp life"!

  • We have many opportunities and a great need for helping hands this summer. Volunteer programs include Church Worker of the Week, Nurse of the Week, Future Leaders (for high school students), groundskeeping, maintenance, kitchen, and more. Volunteers must be willing to submit to a background check. Visit www.campluther.org/volunteer to learn more. We hope you’ll prayerfully consider joining our team!

  • One big thing you can do is guide people to our website and online brochure. You can do this by sharing your camp experiences and sharing our social media!

  • Yes, with limitations. Summer camp registrations may be canceled for a refund, not including the deposit, up to two weeks before the first day of the camp being canceled. Payment in full is due two weeks before the event to keep your reservation, and reservations are nonrefundable after that point.
