God's Word Comes Near

This summer we invite campers to explore our theme: “God’s Word Comes Near.” Through worship, Bible study, and hands-on experiences in nature, campers will discover how God’s presence is active in their daily lives, drawing them closer to faith, community, and creation.

What Does It Mean for God's Word to Come Near?

  • Near in Creation – As we explore the beauty of God’s world—through water, forests, and open prairies—we see His handiwork everywhere.
  • Near in Relationships – Camp is a place to form deep friendships, strengthen faith together, and experience God’s love through community.
  • Near in Worship & Study – Through engaging Bible lessons, prayer, and joyful worship, campers will grow in their understanding of God’s Word and how it shapes their lives.

At LOSD camps, campers will step away from distractions, embrace the outdoors, and listen for God’s voice in ways they may have never experienced before.

Whether gathered around the campfire, paddling on the water, or singing with new friends, we are reminded that God’s Word is alive, active, and always near.
