ABOUT US Camp Lutherhaven is a
year-round outdoor ministry center that is dedicated to creating
adventurous, faith-building experiences for children, youth, adults,
and families. Our carefully chosen staff, along with a program that
includes recreation, God's Word, group activities, Christian

combine to create an unforgettable experience. Camp is located
26 miles northwest of Fort Wayne, IN, amidst the rolling hills of Northeast Indiana. It is blanketed by
hardwood forests of oak and hickory, and resides on the shores of
Lake Muncie. It is a place of adventure, growth, fun, and refuge.

opportunities throughout the year. Other programs may include retreats
for couples, families, men, women, youth, personal spiritual renewal,
and outdoor education. Lutherhaven also rents its facilities to outside

Experiencing God’s love... ...PRICELESS
Our theme verse this
summer is from Psalm 36:7, “How priceless is your unfailing love!.” It’s
difficult to put God’s love into words and even harder to describe its
value but God does even more than that by sending Jesus to show us. Join
us this summer as we explore God’s life altering love with the theme
PRICELESS.
Our Priorities In our fast paced and high tech world, children and youth are
constantly told that they need to have all the best stuff, improve
the way they look, and be comfortable at all costs. At Camp
Lutherhaven, we understand that these mis-truths make for a shallow
and unfulfilled life. Instead, Camp offers authentic community,
opportunities to experience a world around them that is more amazing
than anything we can plug in, and a relationship with God who
genuinely cares for them and has great things planned for their
lives. At Camp Lutherhaven, we want to invest in each child in a way
that impacts them for the rest of their lives. This is no doubt a
lofty goal, but we believe that kids are worth it!
Because a
camp experience has the potential to be a very memorable and
rewarding time in a child’s life, our top priorities include:
A safe environment to have fun, grow,
share, and experience the adventures of summer camp.
A well-trained, Christian staff committed
to excellence.
Creative opportunities and activities for
children to experience the wonder of God’s love and creation.
Summer Staff
Our cabin counselors and staff are carefully selected, Christian, young
adults of college age. They bring an excitement for life and a love for
kids. Each take part in an in-depth application, interview, and
background check process, and then participate in an intense, eight-day
training and orientation. They are under the guidance of our camp's
Program Director and Executive Director.
Community Policy
One of the awesome things about summer camp at Camp Lutherhaven is the
opportunity to experience a special Christian community in the midst of
God’s creation. In order to achieve this goal, it is expected that
participants come with an attitude of cooperation, goodwill, and respect
for people and God’s creation. Please consider carefully your language,
dress, and behavior before arriving.
In addition, items such as
cell phones and other electronic devices can become disruptive and a
distraction to the formation of Camp community, relationships, and
interaction with creation around them. Because of this, cell phones are
not allowed to be in the possession of those 18 years and under. Camp
Lutherhaven reserves the right to send a camper home that is unable to
abide by this policy.
CHICKEN DINNER
Bring your family to camp for this special day filled with great food
and activities for all ages. Visit with your counselor, renew
friendships, take a kayak out on the lake, worship amidst the beautiful
setting of God’s creation, and satisfy your hunger with some great food.
This year our guest speaker will be Rev. Mark Burger and will be held on
July 24th beginning with worship at 11 a.m. The dinner will follow and
again feature Goeglein’s famous chicken with all the fixin’s. Don’t miss
it!
