Treetop
Located out in the woods of Camp, Treetop Village promises an exciting, outdoor experience with two elevated cabins and a pavilion. Along with all the classic camp activities, participants will also spend their time climbing, exploring, and growing through teamwork as they cook several meals a day over a fire and plan their schedule to fit the interests and skills of their new community.

Horse Camp
Throughout the week participants in the all new Horse Camp will travel to Dusty Dreams horse ranch to spend time each day learning to ride and take care of horses. While at camp they will also get a chance to participate in sessions that will focus on personal growth and group building skills. Of course there will be time for the many activities such as swimming, games, and devotions that are so popular at Lutherhaven.

Discovery Camp
This is your chance to spend the week learning or developing skills such as guitar playing, outdoor cooking, drama, fishing, sports, creative writing or waterfront activities. The best part is that YOU CHOOSE what activities you do during the week. The options will vary depending on the talent and creativity of the summer staff, but the fun and discovery are built in.

Adventure Unlimited
Do you enjoy being outside? Then this camp is for you! The schedule is similar to our regular youth camp, but more emphasis is put on the outdoor experience with activities including rock climbing, canoeing, camping skills, orienteering, outdoor cooking, hiking, and fishing. Learn new skills in each of these areas and add new ones next year.

Fine Arts
Feel like you are just waiting to unleash that inner Van Gogh? Take time this summer to develop your talents at our new Fine Arts Camp. This camp gives emerging artists a chance to test and develop their artistic abilities as they get a taste of the arts. Several subjects including dancing, improv, drawing, photography, printmaking, and more, will be taught in hour and a half sessions each day by guest artists. Participants can choose up to 4 areas of study. It’s a great week to explore your artistic side while getting to enjoy the friendship and fun of summer camp.

Basketball Camp
Our basketball camps allow you to refine your current skills as well as learn new ones during your six-day stay. Led by Concordia Lutheran High School basketball coach, Eric Kaschinske, campers will spend 3-5 hours a day on the courts of Camp Lutherhaven and a local gymnasium developing their talents. Campers will be housed in cabins and also participate in other camp activities. This camp is limited to 24 campers, so register quickly.
