Need a highlight for your summer? Find it at Tree of Life
Lutheran Bible Camp, a one-week summer camp in the beautiful Sierra
foothills! Our program is for both children and teens, from those
just starting grade 4 to those just out of high school. We offer a
week of Bible study, Christian fellowship, and just plain fun
in God's great outdoors.

Fees for 2017 are $435 for the first child in a family, $265
for each additional child, and $130 for each Little Lamb aged 4-7 (ages 3
and under are free). Senior campers (grades 9-12) are charged an
additional $15 to help with the cost of the overnighter and Senior
party. All campers will receive a camp T-shirt.
Snack bar cards are available in $5, $10, and $15
denominations, with a $15 maximum per camper. We recommend at most
$10 for Juniors and Intermediates. Campers with snack bar cards do
not need money during the week, and we discourage bringing it.
Unused portions of snack bar cards can be refunded at the end of camp.
Registration and fees are due three weeks before the
first day of camp. You can
either register online, or download
and mail in a paper registration form.
Late registrations are accepted when space is available. Please
telephone or email to reserve a space if your registration will be late.
Donations to camp are gladly accepted! They will be used to
help keep our fees affordable for families. We are a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit corporation, and your donations are tax-deductible. (Note
that camper fees are not donations and are not deductible.)
Thrivent members can direct Thrivent to donate to camp through
the Thrivent
Choice program.
