About the provider

Camp Lutherwood Oregon was created from a 1959 vision by pastors in Eugene for a Bible camp for their kids. Lutheran Layman’s League of Lane County purchased 28 acres west of Junction City to create the camp for Eugene area children and teens. The mission statement says Camp Lutherwood Oregon creates intentional experiences for people to access the outdoors for restoration, play and growth.

Camp Lutherwood Oregon is open to all people and serves people of all ages through its programs, facilities, and staff. Confirmation campers need to be connected with a group and leader at the time of registration. Overnight programs are the suggested option for Branches Outdoor School; day programming is also offered.

What families say

“Our child always has the best time at camp. This was a wonderful week. One thing I love is that all children are welcome, not specific to just those attending church. She gets so much out of it overall and has met great friends. She always comes home from camp happy and full of stories and songs. It is clear that staff truly care for what they do.” — Parent of camper

“I loved this place like home as a middle school camper, and then later on as staff member. The giant trees and the babbling of the creek will always feel like home. Whether you're looking for an outdoor school or retreat, or a summer week at camp, Lutherwood is beautiful, warm and welcoming all year round!” — Katie Plakos, former camper and staff member

“Camp Lutherwood has always been a second home. I have missed a few years but i love Lutherwood more than anything! It is the number one place to spend your summer. Keep doing what your doing so I have more to love!!!!” — Soren, camper
