Camp Wartburg’s facilities provide ideal space for a variety of summer camps, four-season outdoor education events for organized groups and schools and year-round facility rentals for one-day and overnight retreats, family reunions and other events.
Camp Wartburg is a retreat center and camp facility that invites youth, adults, and families of all backgrounds to encounter God’s creation through activities devoted to the body, mind, and spirit.
Children become immersed in God’s awesome creation where the traditional pursuits of sports and academics become secondary to the values of curiosity, tolerance of others, self-discovery and learning-by-doing.
Students visit Camp Wartburg as an extension of their classroom studies. Single day or overnight experiences engage students in the study of animal habitats, watersheds, lake ecosystems, tree/animal/insect identification and more.
Camp Wartburg is available for retreat rentals year-round! We would be happy to have you and your group or class at our facilities for a day or overnight trip.
