A week that builds kids up — for life.

Pioneers is a full-immersion summer camp experience for elementary-age kids — one week of canoeing, swimming, campfires, crafts, and team challenges led by skilled, caring young adult counselors.

Unplugged from screens and immersed in community, campers return home with something that lasts: real friendships, stronger self-confidence, and the kind of resilience that only comes from trying new things alongside new people.

Rooted in values of kindness, courage, and belonging, Lutheridge has been a place where kids discover who they are — and who they want to be.
