At the end of May, 45 college-aged servants of Christ arrived at Camp Luther for one unforgettable summer. For some, this was their fourth year as part of the Camp Luther Summer Staff, for others this was the first time they had stepped foot on camp soil. Over the next three months they impacted thousands of lives, became a family, and learned what it is to truly rest in the strength of Jesus Christ. Saying "thank you" isn't enough for all they've done, but we're going to try. Thank you for starting fires in the rain. Thank you for living by the motto "the water is always warm." Thank you for comforting homesick campers. Thank you for sacrificing sleep. Thank you for trying new things. Thank you for making each week memorable for campers and families. Thank you for showing grace to campers and fellow staff. Thank you for pointing everything back to Christ. Thank you for bearing with and building up one another. Thank you for the joy and laught

Junior Counselors By the Numbers

Every summer approximately 60 high school youth give two weeks of their summer in service at Camp Luther. They assist our counselors and act as "big brothers and sisters" to our campers, making sure they are safe and have a great time. Their duties also include behind-the-scenes tasks like keeping camp clean for all our visitors. The time they spend here and service they provide is priceless, but if we were to put some numbers to it, here's a glimpse of the summer. 150 times cleaning the Dining Hall in a summer  93 Junior Counselor applicants 62 high school Junior Counselors who volunteered at Camp Luther this summer 34 female JCs 28 male JCs 24 fires built for weekend programming cookouts 15 cottages cleaned every Saturday 10 weeks of summer camp 5 sessions of JCs 4 trips to Lick-A-Dee Splitz after cottage cleaning 2 weeks volunteered at a time 1 incredible summer! Thank you, Junior Counselors, for your servant heart
