Summer Camp
Don’t forget to sign up for summer camp at Luther Park in Danbury, WI.
We have a designated week at Luther Park for FOC youth to sign up and attend camp with church friends each year. But know that you can sign up for any week that works for you.
All FOC members attending for a week receive a $150 scholarship thanks to a memorial fund. They also offer family weekend getaways. See the website for details. This is a chance for all youth to make amazing memories and grow in their faith.
Registration is on their website www.lutherpark.com
Mission Trip

Each summer our youth 6th-12th grade take a weeklong mission trip.  This journey hopes to empower the next generation to know God and be like Jesus in the ways they love and serve others. Trips include urban, rural, and international experiences.

Our Mission Trips are in partnership with the Youthworks program.
