Camp Lutherwood

Overview

Camp Lutherwood Oregon is open to all people for year-round camps, retreats, outdoor school, and events. We are located on 72 beautifully forested acres in the foothills of the Coast Range. As a not-for-profit organization, we are committed to serving people of all ages through our programs, facilities, and staff. Camp Lutherwood is an association of Lutheran congregations in Oregon and Southwest Washington.

Camp Lutherwood Oregon is a vibrant community of spirituality and hospitality, strengthened by diversity. Laughter and shared experiences generate a rich understanding of the deep connectedness of all people with one another and the earth, in order to build a world that is more caring, just and kind. Partners in outdoor leadership, land stewardship, faith exploration and youth development accompany us into the future.

In 1959, a group of pastors in Eugene had a vision for a Bible camp for their kids. Lutheran Layman’s League of Lane County purchased 28 acres west of Junction City (off Hwy 36) to create the camp for Eugene area children and teens. Campers, along with their Pastor and other adult leaders, came to camp for a week and stayed in the only facility at the time–the barn. They wanted their youth to have an experience that deepened their faith in Jesus Christ, strengthened relationships with the other friends in the church, connected them to nature, and helped them discover their gifts to offer to the world–all while having fun and adventure.

We look forward to seeing you at camp! Full week camp programs run from Sunday afternoon to Thursday evening. Families are invited to join the closing campfire followed by a picnic dinner.
