Celebrating 75 years of Lutheran Island Camp
For 75 years, God has worked through the ministry of Lutheran Island Camp, bringing generations of people together to grow in faith, experience the beauty of His creation, and build lasting relationships.
Since 1952, the Island has been a place of laughter, learning, worship, adventure, and quiet reflection. Thousands of campers, counselors, families, volunteers, and friends have been part of its story.
In 2027, we invite you to celebrate God's faithfulness through the generations. Together, we'll remember the people and experiences that shaped the Island, give thanks for the ministry we share today, and look forward to the generations yet to come.
The Island story is our story. And there's more to come.
