Do you love stories, photographs, history, and preserving memories? 📖

As Lutheran Island Camp prepares for its 75th anniversary, we are looking for a volunteer historian/archivist to help preserve and organize the story of camp ministry across generations.

Projects could include:
• Organizing historical photos and documents
• Collecting camper and staff stories
• Helping identify people, dates, and events from old photographs
• Preserving camp artifacts and memorabilia
• Assisting with anniversary displays, timelines, or history projects

For generations, God has worked through this place in powerful ways. Help us preserve those stories so they can inspire future campers, families, and staff for years to come.

If this sounds like something you would enjoy, send us a message or contact the camp office!

At the beginning of May, we had Junior Counselor training! We've been working to equip these high school students for their role in being leaders this summer.

Thank you to all of the JCs for volunteering their time to us at the island this summer!

And thank you to Caleb and Jillian (our PAs this summer) for helping to train these servants!

We're so excited for everyone to be on the island in the coming weeks!

MEET THE SUMMER STAFF OF 2026!

Say hello to Julia! She is returning for her third summer at Lutheran Island Camp, this year serving as a maintenance assistant. She will be starting her sophomore year at South Dakota State University this fall, where she is majoring in Dairy Production/Pre-Vet Science with a minor in Equine Studies.

A fun fact about Julia is that she has two middle names.

Her favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:38–39:
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

She is most excited to work outside in God’s creation, to meet everyone this summer, and see what new adventures the summer will hold!

Good to have you back, Julia!

Say hello to Naa! She is currently a sophomore at Concordia University Nebraska and will be returning this summer as a counselor.

A fun fact about Naa is that she can still read five books in five days (Also, that she loves Jesus, books, coffee, and ice cream :) )

Some of her favorite Bible verses are Proverbs 3:5–6, Joshua 1:9, Luke 12:27, Matthew 6:33, and many others. Lately, Jeremiah 17:7–8 has been especially meaningful to her:
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.”

Naa is excited to see how God will use her this summer and is looking forward to growing closer to Him while learning more about teamwork and how to live out the love of Christ with others, especially her fellow Christian brothers and sisters.

Welcome back, Naa!
