Tree of Life Lutheran Bible Camp

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.

News

7/28/2018: We had a lively discussion at today's post-camp general membership meeting about our experiences at camp this year and ideas to improve for next year. Pastor Chris Hoppe was elected to replace Pastor Steve Hillmer on the board. Thanks to Pastor Hillmer for his service! Jordan Hochmuth and Tim Mann were reelected to the board. Our next board meeting is rescheduled; see Events below.
7/17/2018: We were blessed with another fantastic camp last week! Your webmaster has finally caught up on enough sleep to start working on updating the site with news about the post-camp meeting (see Events below) and pictures (see Gallery 2018). This year we had 107 campers and 40 staff, all having a wonderful time enjoying nature, doing fun activities, studying God's Word, and getting to know each other. Truly a highlight for everyone's year!

Fees for 2018 were $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. Please register online, or if you can't do that, 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.
