Need a highlight for your summer? Find it at Tree of Life
Lutheran Bible Camp, a one-week summer camp in the beautiful Sierra
foothills! Our program is for both children and teens, from those
just starting grade 4 to those just out of high school. We offer a
week of Bible study, Christian fellowship, and just plain fun
in God's great outdoors.
Take a look at what camp is like in our 4-minute video
promo. Many thanks to Vaughn Klebig for putting it together! Click

Fees for 2012 are $390 for the first child in a family,
$245 for each additional child, and $120 for each Little Lamb aged 4-7
(3 and under are free). Senior applicants (9th-12th) should add $5 to
their camper fee for the cost of their special Friday night
festivities. A camp T-shirt and souvenir DVD of camp activities are
planned to be provided to each camper at no extra charge.
Snack bar cards are available in $5 and $10
denominations, with a $15 maximum per camper. We recommend at most
$10 for Juniors and Intermediates. Campers with snack bar cards do
not need money during the week, and we discourage bringing it.
Unused portions of snack bar cards can be refunded at the end of camp.
Registration forms and fees are due three weeks before
the first day of camp. You can get forms from your church or download them here. Late registrations are
accepted when space is available. Please telephone to reserve a space
if your registration will be late.
Donations to camp are gladly accepted! They will be used to
help keep our fees affordable for families. We are a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit corporation, and your donations are tax-deductible. (Note
that camper fees are not donations and are not deductible.)
Thrivent members can direct Thrivent to donate to camp through
the Thrivent
Choice program.
