Due to difficulties with staffing, we have decided to focus on overnight camps only this summer.
For day camp options in the area, check out Stronghold Retreat Center, Taft Campus, Oregon Park District or Byron Forest Preserve.
FLUTTER: Entering 1st and 2nd grades (early elementary).
Flutter camps are partial week camps from Sunday-Tuesday.
FLOCK: Entering 3rd through 5th grades (elementary).
SCURRY: Entering 6th through 8th grades (middle school).
PACK: Entering 9th through 12th grades (high school).
Enjoy an amazing experience at LOMC full of opportunities like canoeing, archery, hiking in prairie and forest, gaga ball, human foosball, cookouts, picnics and more. A faith-filled time of playing and praying in God’s creation.
Night Owls is for youth entering 6th through 8th grades.
Stay up at night at LOMC! Not a morning person? This camp is for you!!!
After you arrive on Sunday, we head to sleep a little later each night to adjust to nighttime activities. Experience camp at night: night games, night hikes, night swims and breakfast in the evening! Campers will enjoy tons of fun experiences in the dark. As we approach the end of the week, we shift back to more daylight fun. A truly unique opportunity to see faith and creation at night!
Join us at Night Owls!
“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are you works; that I know ver well.” Psalm 139:14
THEKA
Entering 9-12th grades
A camp specially designed for high schoolers interested in developing their leadership skills that may help them within the areas of their lives at school, church, home, and work (future summer camp counselor perhaps?!).
During the week, campers will focus on the art of personal storytelling and learn how their story connects with God’s story in exploring who God has created them to be.
For a less leadership-intensive option, consider Pack Camp for 9-12th grades instead.
Campers will also enjoy:
- Participating in team building activities, games, and swimming
- Learning how to create and lead devotions
- Learning how to set up a campsite and cook outdoors
- Spending one night tent camping at our Tent and Trailer area
Churches can bring their group to LOMC to participate together in all the LOMC has to offer!
Bring your elementary, middle or high school group to LOMC for a week of joy!
For a complete description of Team Camp, please visit this web page.
All camps enjoy a full schedule each day at the beautiful 600+ acres of LOMC. Campers enjoy morning devotions, nature experiences, pond canoe, river canoe trip, cookouts, Bible study, archery, the team building course, campfires, games and so much more. Get out this summer into an unique outdoor experience!
