Camp Lutherhaven SALT

Join Lutherhaven’s SALT program (Service, Adventure, Leadership Team). SALT is our 10th – 12th grade leadership program!

SALT is Service – Serve camp in a variety of vital ways: Kitchen Party (meal prep and clean-up), housekeeping, setting up and helping lead camper games, activities, and the Trading Post.

SALT is Adventure – Team building adventure and community building activities: water fun, climbing tower, and zip-line challenges, and more!

SALT is Leadership – Servant Leadership training: assist the staff with camp operations and programming, camper care, and daily SALT Team Bible Studies, servant leadership discussions and training.

SALT Team members experience a good measure of directed, focused independence at camp. They are housed separately with other SALT participants (not with summer campers) with their adult leader housed with them.

• All SALT participants will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire about themselves prior to arrival. Registration space is limited per week. 
• Prior to attending your week on SALT, our SALT coordinator will reach out to you to chat about what the week will look like and to share expectations with you.
• Serve up to two weeks (weeks do not need to be consecutive); additional weeks by approval.
• NEW! Week-long SALT runs from 3pm Sunday through 12pm the following Sunday. We will kick off your week with a SALT orientation and training before plugging into the larger camp week!
• Housing is in our Castaway Village now turned into our SALT Village! Please note, bathrooms are a short walk from housing.
• SALT is a great way to get a taste of what it will be like to work at camp! Those who have worked two weeks of SALT (these do not have to be consecutive or even in the same summer) and are entering the 12th grade are eligible to apply to be a part of Summer Support Staff commuter positions (lifeguard, kitchen, hospitality, etc.) and work at camp for an entire summer!!
• Please note, Lutherhaven Ministries offers a variety of opportunities for 10th-12th graders to have a traditional camper experience. We encourage campers to stay campers for as long as possible. Check them out here, at Adventurers or TREK. The SALT program is for those who are ready to develop their leadership skills and learn more about service, often behind the scenes. SALT Team members should anticipate long days and new responsibilities. As a SALT Team member, you will not always participate in every camp activity in the same way as traditional campers, but have plenty of fun, connection, and growth along the way.
