What is a campership?

At our annual Apple Butter Festival, we raise funds for camp scholarships (camperships). Your support can make a big difference — just $590 can send a child to summer camp, and $2,235 can send a family of four to camp at Luther. 

Last year, thanks to your generosity, 269 campers were able to attend camp. Help us make camp accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Every contribution matters — thank you for your support!
