Dear Family Campers,  
Fabulous! You are coming to camp! Here is some helpful information to help you get ready for an amazing week at Family Camp this summer! Think about being our guests: relaxing on the beach, being mesmerized by the clear water of the lake; yummy meals being prepared & clean up done for you; loons calling to each other; experiencing time with God; singing at campfires; fishing and especially, wonderful family time! I'll let you dream about these things for a few more months...allow the memories to warm you...until you can experience it in person again…or for the first time! Things are underway for your week at family camp and our dedicated and caring staff are working hard to make this another AMAZING summer of camping ministry!

The program theme for the summer is, "Chosen”. Daily themes will rejuvenate you while looking at the God who chooses us out of this giving-self-away kind of love in order that we might live in a similar way with each other. Our Program staff will lead singing, skits and campfires based on this theme. Each morning after "Morning Jam" (singing, drama and prayer), the program staff will lead sessions with children 2 years & older for 1.5 hours. During this time the resource leader will lead conversational discussions for the adults. The sessions for all will be centered on our theme, “Chosen”. Check out our website to see who the resource leader is the week you are at camp www.luthervillage.ca

There are many recreation opportunities in the afternoon and evenings while at camp. The beautiful waters of Dogtooth Lake and the sunsets over Echo Bay invite you to join in a number of activities: swimming, relaxing on our sandy beach, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and tubing, taking a pontoon boat ride. Besides these attractions, we also have hiking trails, campfires, volleyball, archery, crafts and blueberry picking to name a few. Some special activities during the week include a worship service with Holy Communion, a night hike and other surprises!

Over the years, an essential part of our five weeks of Family Camps has been our unique and fun theme night. Theme night is as successful as YOU make it! Your participation makes it that much more fun! The exciting theme chosen for this year is: “Under The Sea”. Join us to see what seaside & underwater adventures will take place! Bring along your favorite sea related costume! Fish, octopus, mermaids and mermen; see what the fishing rod snags and swim your way to theme night! Help us make this one of the best theme nights! This night is a blast when everyone participates in it enthusiastically, so plan your costume now! If you are not already eating meals in the dining hall, you may want to join us for Theme Night supper and activities. As long as there is room and you have given 24 hour notice, we can accommodate you. Whatever ideas the program staff have up their sleeves you are guaranteed a unique and fun-filled evening! 

More Special Events:
Secret Families has been a big success at camp over the years. If you choose to participate in this, here’s how it works: you pick a secret family on Sunday evening at campfire. Throughout the week you get to do secret things for them (like bring them treats, small gifts or crafts, secret notes of encouragement, and most importantly, pray for them). This has become a hi-light for some families and we would like to inform new families before arrival at camp, in case you want to get creative and bring something along!
Our ever popular Talent Night is another hi-light. Bring along your talent (play an instrument, dance, sing, etc.) to join in the celebrations of talent and fun!                                                                           
BBQ feast - join us for our Friday night all you can eat meal ($14.50 for adults, $7.25 for kids 10 & under {+ HST} and under 2 eat FREE! Please remember that 24 hour notice is required for any meals that you have not originally arranged with your reservation).       

Our 20th annual Silent Auction will take place over the summer months.  Come and bid on the unique items donated to this fun-raising event! Help us have a great auction this year!  If you want to donate a handmade or new item for the summer auction (or a winter auction) let us know so we can arrange for the item to get out to camp by the end of May.

Our camp store has snack items available to purchase such as frozen ice cream treats, chips, candy bars, pop, bottled water and juice. There will be souvenirs such as t-shirts, hoodies, caps, our CD “Hear by the Water”, other souvenir items and postcards sold at camp, to take home a memory of your week.  The Winnipeg Free Press paper is also available to purchase Monday - Saturday.       

Other Bits of Information for you:

• Our water system provides 100% potable water, which means filtered, UV protected and chlorinated. It passes all requirements for your drinking refreshment!

• For those of you who want to stay connected electronically, we have Wi-Fi satellite internet. A courtesy computer is available at the Dining Hall. There is a user fee (TBA) for this service.

This summer we will be taking steps to improve the quality of internet service available at camp. We
will be increasing the numbers of places at camp where you will be able to connect and we are making
changes to ensure it works well. We are going to be using new software that will ensure that the
internet is shared fairly amongst campers such that we don't exceed our satellite internet capacity
where we are left with none for anyone. Our plan is to make it easy and reliable for everyone. Details
for usage will be available upon check-in, along with your cost and individual access code per device

• Cell phone coverage available in most places around camp
• We are pet friendly! If you choose to bring a family pet to camp, you are required by Manitoba Camping Association regulations to bring a copy of your pet’s current rabies vaccination
• Remember to bring any food items in completely sealed tin or thick plastic bins.
• If any visitors join you during your stay, remember they will need to pay a pro-rated rate per person/per day and need to register at the office

Another enclosure is a description of what is in your cabin to help you in packing. Check out our website and you can even go on a virtual tour of the camp (click Camp Tour to view photos for complete picture and description of the cabin you are renting or the campground). Your enclosed reservation form confirms information given when you registered, such as linens and towels being provided by LV or not, if you are having meals and check in (3 PM) and check out (12 noon) times. Please review these to ensure that we have accurately recorded your reservation details or call to change as required.

We hope this information helps in your planning and packing for your summer adventure at Luther Village. Keep this letter for reference in a safe place until you head out the door to camp! Summer will arrive and then it's time for Luther Village! We are looking forward to your arrival and another exciting season of camping and fun at ‘The Village’!
