Lutherhaven Ministries (ID)

We believe by God’s love we are saved through faith—not because of anything we have done, not by works, but as a gift of God, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. —Ephesians 2:8-10

In response, we value:

• Jesus as the foundation of all our being, activities, events, programs, and opportunities to embody His love;
• Faith formation rooted in the Lutheran tradition, sharing God’s love in ways relevant in our world right now;
• People all called into a safe, joy-filled, nurturing faith community;
• Relationships built on Jesus’ love as we partner with people, congregations, communities and organizations;
• Service as a way we extend the breadth and depth of God’s love through hospitality, outreach, and leadership-centered programs;
• Caring for God-given gifts and resources;
• The outdoors cared for, appreciated and explored;
• Abundant life filled with recreation, laughter, and play;
• God’s Word as the living, active means by which God calls us to faith and forms us as God’s people.

Lutherhaven Ministries provides year-round Christian outdoor programs including camps, retreats and events, outdoor education as well as facility rentals.

Idaho Servant Adventures is a week-long, high-energy, action-packed service-leadership camp that bring hundreds of students from youth groups across America together for four or five days to repair and transform homes, lives, and communities.

Over the past decade thousands of teens and adults from church youth groups around the nation have traveled to north Idaho for a summer Idaho Servant Adventure. They’ve volunteered tens of thousands of hours of service to the under-served people, organizations, communities, and needs of the region as the hands, feet, and voice of Jesus—and have seen their own faith and lives strengthened and transformed, as well!

A big part of the Idaho Servant Adventure program is helping to run Day Camp on-site at Shoshone Mountain Retreat for the Silver Valley community. Every day, a team of youth and adults will get to help create a safe and loving environment for kids the age of 6 to 13 as they play games, create crafts, and learn about Jesus!

Lutherhaven’s proven teen work camp programming brings dozens of teens from across the nation together each week for service, outreach, and outdoor adventure. Teens perform simple, significant service for folks experiencing disadvantages “right down the block,” instilling in young people an awareness of needs that exist in their own back yards. Youth gain leadership skills that enable them to be agents of positive change. Participants take home life-long, life-changing, Christ-centered relationships with other servant leaders from around the country and with the people they’ve served—relationships with people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

Hear, see, do, and live God’s Word. That’s the payoff: life-long change, living the love of Jesus with all we meet as together we grow in Christian faith, love and service!
