VOLUNTEERS FOR LUTHER HEIGHTS DAY CAMP
June 15-19, 2026
June 15-19, 2026
Luther Heights is returning to FELC with their amazing Day Camp program! Camp counselors will lead our children through a creative week of praise and worship through music, devotions, games, arts and crafts, and fellowship. And teaching God's children how they are called by Him to be loved, grateful, faithful and called to share. What a blessing our Luther Heights Day Camp is to everyone involved!
Without the generous gifts of time, talent, and money from our congregation, our day camp would not be the enormous success it is each and every year! A special "Thank you" to all of you who help support our Day Camp, whether it be in prayers and/or gifts.
Please prayerfully consider where you may be of help in the following areas:
Counselor Hosts: This one's the biggie !!
"Bed & Breakfasts:" The counselors need a place to sleep & breakfast to fuel their day with our kiddos. We can split them up in several places, so if you have room for 2, that will be great!
Lunch: Again, fuel for the counselors. All you have to do is pick a day, provide lunch for 4 counselors, & bring it to the church.
Dinners: This is an opportunity for anyone to spend time with and get to know the counselors. This also relieves the stress of our host families. You can do this however you'd like - at your house, out for pizza, etc.
Miscellaneous activities: They LOVE Reed's Dairy ice cream, so if you'd like to treat a day, I'm sure they'd be appreciative! Or maybe a boat ride - or a hike - the possibilities are endless.
Counselor Helpers (7th grade and up) - Extra hands for the counselors are always needed - sometimes by helping younger campers come inside to use the restroom, or help with crafts, or help prepare/serve/clean up the snacks.
On-Site Volunteers: Moms, Dads, Grandmas, Grandpas, or caring adults to lend a hand where needed and prepare the morning and/or afternoon snacks.
Providing or preparing or serving snacks - morning or afternoon. We bring the campers inside every morning & afternoon for a light snack, some water, and shade. A list of needed snacks will be provided for dropping off. We also welcome volunteers to serve and clean up after the snacks.
And of course, we need your help in spreading the word about our extraordinary Day Camp to your friends, relatives, neighbors, acquaintances; anyone you know with children entering first grade (Fall of 2026) through the sixth grade. The cost of attending this week's long day camp is $100. Thanks to successful fundraising in the past, we are able to bring the fee down to $20! Registration is now open at lutherheights.org
Look for the giant sign-up board in the Narthex for Youth Helpers, On-Site Volunteers, Counselor Hosts, and to provide snacks. Please consider helping where you are able.
Please contact our FELC Family Minister, Heather Catanese, with any questions regarding Day Camp, becoming a Counselor Host, On-Site Volunteers or a Youth Helper, at (208)522-9301 or (208) 521-2565 or email at youth@firstlc.com. We are looking forward to another fun and successful ministry with the Luther Heights Bible Day Camp!
