Camp Lutherwood Oregon began in 1959 when Lutheran Layman’s League of Lane County purchased 28 acres west of Junction City to create a Bible camp for Eugene area children and teens. Camp Lutherwood Oregon states that it creates intentional experiences for people to access the outdoors for restoration, play and growth. It is a not-for-profit organization and an association of Lutheran congregations in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Camp Lutherwood Oregon is open to all people for year-round camps, retreats, outdoor school, and events. The camp has a stewardship plan that includes thinning trees, improving fish habitat in Luther Creek, increasing access to the forest for educational use, planting new trees and shrubs, and stopping the spread of invasive species. Camp Lutherwood Oregon acknowledges that it is located within the traditional homelands of the Kalapuya and Chelamela tribes, whose descendants are members of the Confederated Tribes of the Grande Ronde Community of Oregon.
Compass Camp is for campers who have experienced extreme trauma or loss, whose community has been impacted by disaster, or who are in need of extra support from a hard situation. Compass Camp offers smaller cabin group sizes, mental health providers, and extra training for staff, and while Camp Lutherwood Oregon is a faith-based camp, Compass Camp is not a faith-based program. Families are invited to join the closing campfire followed by a picnic dinner at the end of full week camp programs.
Parent and camper comments describe children coming home happy, full of stories and songs, and speaking about meaningful connections with other campers and leaders. Some parents report that their children look forward to attending the next year, keep in contact with friends they have made, and express interest in becoming camp counselors one day. Former campers and staff members describe Camp Lutherwood Oregon as a place they have returned to over multiple years.
