Youth Camp Opportunities

NovusWay Ministries includes four retreat/camp sites in the Southeastern United States primarily serving ELCA churches. These retreat centers offer programmed retreats and camps for all ages, and also provide meeting spaces for groups to plan their own retreats. Lutheridge in Arden, NC and Lutheranch in Tallapoosa, GA are the closest locations to FULC. Youth from FULC have attended Confirmation retreats and summer camps at both of these locations.
Research shows that aside from the faith example of parents and family, Christian camp is one of the most important factors in a child’s faith formation and helps ensure that as youth mature they will continue in the life of the church. A study of several ELCA camps found that campers experienced significant growth in their faith that continues even after the camp experience.

If financial assistance is needed, scholarships are available through NovusWay and FULC also has funds in the budget to provide some assistance. Please contact our Faith Formation Director, Julie Caslow, with any questions.
