Welcome Summer Campers!

We are excited to welcome hundreds of campers who have registered for Camp Luther, Lutheran Memorial Camp and LOMO Outreach. We will enjoy hearing the laughter and chatter of campers, people sharing their faith in an emotionally safe setting, and singing outdoors!

We have put many safety protocols in place to mitigate the risk of spreading COVID-19; these procedures are based on the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and American Camping Association (ACA). LOMO’s most up to date COVID-19 safety procedures may be found here.

The majority of these procedures are summarized with the following:

Wearing a face mask that covers your nose and mouth when around people who are not in your small group (I.E., family or cabin group)
Physically distancing from others who are not in your small group.
Good hand hygiene – washing or sanitizing your hands frequently.
Taking a COVID-19 vaccine and be fully inoculated prior to coming to camp (if you are eligible).

5. Remain in the “camp bubble” your entire camp session.
6. Daily cleaning of camp facilities.
7. Enhanced health screening prior to and during the camp program.
8. Pray that COVID-19 is not spread at camp; we want to share the love of God and not the germs of Christ’s disciples! See you at Camp!

-Penny Christensen, LOMO Executive Director

Thank you Volunteers!

We couldn't get LMC and Camp Luther up and running every year without the help of our very dedicated volunteers! This year was a particular challenge after a year of not running summer camp - there were many cobwebs to sweep, bushes to trim, and weeds to pull.

A special thanks to all the families who have come out to Luther Servant Weekends and the LMC Servant Work Day to help us get both camps ready for the summer. We also appreciate the volunteers who come out throughout the year to help us out: from cleaning cabins to clearing trails! We also couldn't run summer camp without the generous support of health care volunteers, discovery leaders, camp chaplains, and countless others.

A Family Devotion for Summer:

Supplies: Chalk and a bible

After a chilly and rainy May (at least in Central Ohio), it's so exciting to be able to get back outside and play! So many kids (and adults) love to draw, so take advantage of the warmer weather and have a family drawing contest with chalk.

To incorporate a faith element, encourage everyone to draw their best rainbow. Afterwards, tell the story of Noah (Genesis 6:9-9:17) and remind kids of God's promise to care for ALL of us.
