Winter Retreat at Luther Crest
February 6th-8th, 2026
Cost: $215
​​​Join us for friends, fun, and a faith-filled weekend at Luther Crest! Come on Friday evening and stay at camp until Sunday morning, playing games, learning, hanging out, and spending the nights in our cabins with your friends and our awesome Luther Crest Staff! Together we’ll spend time getting to know one another, enjoying the Minnesota winter, and diving into our theme: “Love in Action!” Through scripture, worship, crafts, and games, we will discover ways that God’s love for us empowers us to love others and the world around us!​

CAMP OPPORTUNITIES
Luther Crest Bible Camp
Alexandra, MN
Luther Crest exists to inspire faith, stewardship, and community in God’s creation. We do this through summer camp - where kids and teens unplug and immerse themselves in God's great outdoors.
From the friendships formed around the campfire to the inspiring lessons learned in our daily devotionals, a week spent at Luther Crest is sure to be an experience that campers will treasure for a lifetime.
Pathways - Camp Emmaus
Menahga, MN
Pathways offers unique environments where God encounters people and renews them to live life's of love.
Camp Emmaus programs and retreats allow for important faith formation and spiritual growth with elements like daily devotions, campfire worship, camp songs, and prayer all included.
Camp impacts lives in positive ways that extend to families, churches, and others. Campers leave renewed to live lives of Christian service and love.
