Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Sunday, June 29-Friday, July 4. Because July 4 falls on a Friday this year, you are welcome to stay through Saturday morning, July 5 in order to enjoy the fireworks that neighbors on Lake Samish (we do not set off fireworks at Lutherwood, but they are visible—and audible!—from our dock).
There is no extra charge to stay the additional night, but our three other programs on site will end at noon that day. We will not have formal programming on the afternoon of July 4 in order to leave space for staff to debrief the week and clean up. You are welcome to stay, play, and enjoy the afternoon on or off site, though!
-
Yes!
You may come on Sunday, June 29 and stay through Tuesday, July 1. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity for families to stay later in the week unless they choose the full week option. The half week option is only available for the beginning of the week. (If there is interest in expanding in future years, we may explore this option)!

Family Camp has a lot of goals!
It’s a chance to spend time together as a family, have fun, grow closer to God, experience camp in a low pressure environment, meet other families, relive camp days of yore, build new memories…the list goes on and on! We are excited to welcome back longtime Lutherwoodians and introduce new people to this beautiful, “best kept secret” in western Washington!
