Mission Statement
LRCC provides sanctuaries in time and space where Christ can be encountered, faith renewed and the joy of community discovered. Our Lutheran outdoor ministry supplements congregational recreational outdoor ministry and camping for all ages and offers refreshing, faith-enriching retreat experiences by creating dynamic Christian community, rewarding educational opportunities and outdoor relaxation from the routine and hectic pace of life.
Welcome Statement
Lutheran Retreats, Camps & Conferences (El Camino Pines and Luther Glen Farm) Has a Place for Everyone Around the Campfire
In all our programs, activities and events, LRCC is committed to providing safe and inclusive environments that reflect the lessons Jesus taught us: “Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another” (John 13:34). LRCC values diversity, opposes discrimination and promotes equal opportunity for all people, regardless of age, abilities, race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, or others who are often marginalized. We strive to ensure that all guests and staff are valued as unique individuals and can reach their full potential by living and working in a community of inclusion and mutual respect.
What We Offer
We offer camping and retreat programs for all ages at our two main sites, El Camino Pines and Luther Glen Farm, as well as off-site high adventure opportunities. Our ministry spans the southwestern United States and Hawaii— from the mountains to the oceans, the deserts to the beaches and the Mexico border region to the heart of the city.
