Our Redeemer's Lutheran Church Campership Policy
Our Redeemer Lutheran Church is committed to promoting our members’ faith formation through participation in summer Bible camps, service events, retreats and other activities. To that end, we provide “camperships” to help families offset the cost of these events and relieve some of the financial burden of attending to their spiritual health. These funds are made possible through the Our Redeemer’s Women and the Christine Thoreson fund of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church. Camperships are available as follows:
When paying fees for camps or other events, families are expected to furnish the registration deposit, and ORLC will pay the organization directly on behalf of the participants by the payment deadline. To facilitate this, families must contact ORLC office by at least two weeks prior to the deadline.
In the event that a campership is paid out and a participant is unable to attend the sponsored camp or event, the participant may be required to reimburse ORLC for the cost.
Exceptions to this policy may be made on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the financial needs of the family. In order to seek an exception, please contact one of the pastors or youth staff.
