It is an opportunity for youth to engage with peers from across the United States and the world who share a common commitment and faith in Christ.
The next ELCA Youth Gathering will be held June 28-July 2, 2027 in Minneapolis, MN. More information will be available on the Gathering’s website: https://www.elca.org/gathering.
Living Water Ministries Summer Camps
Accredited by the American Camp Association, Living Water Ministries aims to deliver experiences that teach youth about Jesus Christ through the loving, supportive, communities formed at camp. Designed for elementary to high school aged youth, the programs are rooted in an authentic experience that creates a safe space to explore faith and grow in understanding. Campers depart an experience with Living Water Ministries ready to deliver the love and grace they’ve received in Christ to their congregations, communities, and the world.
Lutheran Summer Music
Lutheran Summer Music (LSM) is the nation’s foremost faith-based music academy for high school students. Each summer, LSM brings together a community of musicians to learn, grow, and worship on a Lutheran college campus for four weeks.
Young musicians and renowned faculty from around the country come together for high-quality musical training, forming an intentional community that shares in the rich musical and liturgical traditions of the Lutheran Church each day. Students return to their communities transformed, inspired, and eager to share their gifts.
