About the Camps |
| Advanced Leadership Training School | | ALTS
is a North/West Lower Michigan Synod and Southeast Michigan Synod sponsored
program for high school students who have completed 10-12 grade. This is for
students who have attended LTS or have already been trained in Peer Ministry.
The week is spent in a community of growing leaders while enhancing their Peer
Ministry skills. We challenge each student to use these skills in their
congregation/community and have them make a commitment to what they wish to
bring home.

| Bass Lake | | (For
youth who have completed grades 8-12)
Bass Lake is a Christian Music Festival for high school aged
youth which provides an “outside the box,” grace-filled experience of the
Christian faith! Through great music and unique learning opportunities
(including workshops, demonstrations, fellowship, worship, and Bible studies)
campers will share the Gospel with senior high youth from all backgrounds. Join
us in the beautiful outdoor setting of Michi-Lu-Ca in a relaxed and
community-centered atmosphere. Look for Bass Lake’s

| Confirmation Camp | | (For
youth who have completed grades 6-8, or as your congregation defines its
confirmation program.)
Confirmation
camp offers young adults a time and place to explore faith issues in an
intentional Christian community. Swimming, horseback riding, canoeing, low and
high ropes challenges, and singing around the campfire are part of the
week-long adventure. Campers will learn about themselves, make new friends, and
grow in faith. Confirmands attend confirmation camp with their Church group along
with an adult leader. Individual registrations are accepted and we’ll partner
your camper with an attending Church group.
Where: Michi-Lu-Ca and Stony Lake | |
| ELCA National Youth Gathering | | The
Gathering is a major ministry of journeying and new life in community for high
school-age youth of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
in America.
Every three years, the Spirit calls diverse and gifted young people and adults
to this transforming way of being Church and living in God’s amazing grace.
The theme, Jesus Justice
Jazz, blends the rich faith history, diverse cultures, and arts of New Orleans. It will
stretch our understandings of what it means to live in relationship and service
with each other in the manner of Christ—for life!

| Family Camps | | Let
the beauty of God’s creation and the joy of Christian fellowship relax and
renew you this summer! For all ages and backgrounds, Family Camp is designed
with staffing and programs to maximize your vacation time. We take care of the
meals (no planning, cooking, or washing dishes!) and a variety of activities
for one low price. There are designated counselors for children and teens who
will provide them with activities and oversight while adults enjoy some
“kid-free” time. Whether it’s campfires, swimming, canoeing, snorkeling in our
clean, spring-fed lakes, watching the stars come out at night, archery, hiking,
touring, low or high ropes challenges, Bible studies, horseback riding or
golfing – we have the activity for you. (Some of these activities are off-site
and may require an additional fee.) Of course, napping in a hammock or reading
a book are options as well! | |
| Leadership Training School | | LTS
is a North/West Lower Michigan Synod and Southeast Michigan Synod sponsored
program for high school students who have completed 9-12 grade. If you have
students who have leadership potential and would like to grow in their faith
and leadership skills, this is for them! The week is spent in a community of
growing leaders while being trained in Peer Ministry. We ask that only two
youth (one male, one female) from each congregation attend.
