Youth Summer

Camp offers a variety of amazing activities for our youth including Bible studies, swimming, field games, bonfires, fishing, arts & crafts, and much more! Time spent at camp has proven to be one of the most faith-forming experiences in the lives of many kids and adults alike, so join us in the fun! Light of Christ brings youth to Lake Wapogasset Lutheran Bible Camp (in Amery, WI) each summer.

***********************

High Schoolers at Light of Christ highly anticipate the annual Service-Learning Trip each year. These trips take the group to new places that open their eyes to injustice and also the nation's underprivileged, forgotten, and under-served. Past trip locations have included Chicago, IL; Belize; Denver, CO; Two Harbors, MN; Black Hills, SD; Atlanta, GA; Fort Morgan, CO; New Orleans, LA; Red Lake, MN. Not only do our youth serve in these places, they also learn about the communities, the people, and their history. While we hope to make a difference in the lives of those we serve on each trip, it is usually our own hearts that are transformed the most by these experiences! Here is information on our upcoming trip options as well as slide shows from our past trips:
