Summer Camp - 2010
Summer 2010 was a great time looking at how Jesus was SENT to save us from our sin and to bring us back to Him and how we are now SENT to join Him in this work with our friends, family and world! This summer was filled with great campers, super counselors, exciting games and influential times focusing on our Lord Jesus.
Every Monday we remembered that Jesus was SENT For All People
and we are too.
Tuesday’s theme was SENT to Save,
Wednesday was SENT
to Empower,
Thursday was SENT to Sacrifice
and Friday was SEND ME!
The summer theme verse came from Isaiah 6:8, ”Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'" All thanks and praise be to Jesus for coming for us, empowering us and sending us out to the world! My life, and I pray the lives of all who attended camp this summer, will now never be same because of Him. We would love have you come back to camp for the tremendous Riverside experience at a Fall Recharge and don’t forget that Summer 2011 is right around the corner! We hope to play, laugh and grow with you again soon!

Summer Camp at Riverside
Riverside Lutheran Bible Camp’s summer camp program was established in 1943. Since then, the mission of the program has remained the same – Proclaiming the Love of Jesus to our campers. A week at Riverside during the summer can be a life changing event, not because of the things we do, but because of what God is able to do!
Typically our campers arrive on Sunday afternoon and depart on Friday afternoon. In between the week is spent playing games, meeting new friends, in Bible study, chapel time, in the rec hall, riding horses, going to campfire, swimming and on and on and on.
While here each camper is assigned to a cabin group of campers and one or two counselors. Our Senior Counselors are college students who have a passion for Jesus and for sharing the good news. Our Junior Counselors are High School students who volunteer their summer to assist Senior Counselors and to live and learn in an amazing Christian environment. Our counselors are here to get to know and build a relationship with the campers as they show and share the love of Jesus.
Each summer the Bible study is built around a central theme for the week. Each day “sub” themes are introduced that fit into the theme for the week. The “sub” theme is presented each morning in chapel with skits, songs, scripture and a message.
In addition to games and fun and all the crazy things that happen during the week of camp, there is time set aside each day not only for Bible study, but for quiet time. This is a 15 – 20 minute period each day for all of us to calm our hearts and minds and to listen to the Lord through scripture and prayer.
By the end of the week we are confident that you will have had an experience unlike any other. We are confident that you will grow in your faith and knowledge of Jesus and that you will have experienced his unfailing love.
