Special Giving Opportunities
Scholarships
Lutheridge + Lutherock has announced, in addition to regular scholarships, that any child whose parent/guardian has lost their job in this economy may come to camp at up to no cost.

Each summer, LLMI hires over 120 college-aged counselors and area directors to share their faith and provide Christ-centered community to the thousands of children and youth who attend camp.

In fact, many go on to seminary and serve the church as ordained and rostered leaders.
