Servant Event '27

We are a Lutheran summer camp located on the Lake of the Ozarks. We will have our middle school and high school youth groups come together on Sunday, June 13 and run through Friday, June 18. What a gift to bring kids to the camp to help serve God and others - as well as make friendships with other kids who love Jesus!

We have the kids arrive on Sunday between 4-5 pm and give them a chance to get some energy out and unpack...welcome, ice breakers and dinner followed by a group activity and campfire. We will divide into small groups - so that your kids will get to work with kids from other groups as well - and they'll do Bible study in those small groups as well.

Then Monday - Thursday: 

7:30 or 8 am Morning Word followed by breakfast and song/skit/prayer time

9:30-12:15  Servant Event Projects

12:15-1:10 Lunch

2-4  Second Work Shift

4-6 Free Time - swimming in the lake; volleyball; gym time; etc.

6 Dinner and an evening activity 

8 Small group Bible study time followed by campfire sometimes night hikes and a wagon ride to see the stars

Friday - 

Morning Word and breakfast; time to pack; Closing worship service and a time for each small group to present what they did all week and what they learned together in Christ

On the road by 11 am  - unless you want to add time for your own group to do something fun...Some groups have rented boats in Warsaw (30 mins away) and stayed an extra day.

As far as our Servant Projects go - 

1. This summer we will have 4-6 small groups helping members of the community with small jobs - like painting or yard work...more than likely elderly members 

2. We will have some groups redoing the Bell House bunkhouse or the GCL -- and of course staining decks, etc...that has to be done every other year so there's always something in rotation. 

3. A few groups will work with our program director, Schniepp, to lead 2 skits and 2 campfire times, maybe lead a few games for the campers that will also be here on site that week (actually their first week).

4. We are still working on 2-4 more projects to add to the list. One will probably have something to do with the springs area - it takes a lot of weeding...

5. If you have something specific you'd like your kids to be doing - please do NOT hesitate to ask! We love your ideas and we might be able to incorporate them.
