Youth Summer ProgramsLutheran Church Camping in Central Pennsylvania is an extension of the congregation’s ministry in the unique setting that our camps provide. Children, youth, and adults learn, worship, witness, and serve within a Christ-centered Lutheran tradition.

All Children are welcome to attend Camps Kirchenwald and Nawakwa, regardless of race, creed, religion or color.

Children with special needs can participate in many of our programs. Camp staff need to know the nature of the child’s special needs before arrival in camp. Please contact the camp of your choice for further information.
