Our Savior's Lutheran Church

Camping Ministry

Camp is a place that youth can experience Jesus in another setting,
 where kids can be kids and explore their faith in a natural setting.
 
"Kids that remain active in faith and in the life of the church point to a significant experience at Bible Camp as a leading factor in their faith walk." 
Dr. Roland Martinson, Faith Factors
