Lutheran Outdoor Ministries

There are 120 camp and retreat ministries affiliated with the ELCA. They comprise the association known as Lutheran Outdoor Ministries (LOM). In partnership with congregations, synods, and ELCA churchwide, these ministries strengthen, support and lift up the body of Christ by providing experiences of spiritual growth in outdoor settings.

Outdoor ministries offer a wide variety of programs that provide growth experiences for people of all ages, many of whom become leaders in the church and their communities. Youth, in particular, can benefit through camp, which contributes growth in areas such as faith formation, leadership formation, creation care, self-confidence, independence, making friends, exploring and learning new activities.
