LUTHERAN ISLAND CAMP

We serve the congregations of the Minnesota North District, North Dakota, South Dakota, and other congregations throughout the upper midwest. We are open to unchurched and those who would like to strengthen their faith. We are a mission serving all of God's people from a Biblical, Lutheran perspective. When does summer camp start and end? Our summer programs start the first week of June and go through August 20th. Staff may be asked to report earlier for training and some staff may leave before or after August 20th depending upon schedules and our need for staffing. Where is Lutheran Island Camp located? We are located in west-central Minnesota in Otter Tail County. We are in the heart of lake country with over 1,000 lakes within 45 minutes of the camp.
