Deadline for best pricing is Feb. 29
The best pricing on youth and family summer programs at Camp Ewalu expires at the end of February. Ewalu’s “Early Discount” is a savings of $40 for each camper in full-week youth programs (grades 1-12), and $20 off shorter and non-overnight programs. The full discount expires Feb. 29; a smaller discount of $20 for full-week youth programs and $10 for shorter youth programs continues through April 18.
Families registering more than one youth camper can also use the Sibling Discount to save an extra $50 for each additional camper from the same household, after the first child has been registered (no expiration date).
Ewalu offers a variety of 17 youth programs for grades 1-12 from June to August, including 2-night mini-camp programs for younger campers and week-long out-trip adventures and a four-week Leadership Training program for high school students. Details about each program, FAQs, and online registration can be found at www.ewalu.org/summer-camp. Discounts are applied automatically; no codes are needed.

Camp Ewalu is a Lutheran Christian outdoor ministry accredited by the American Camping Association. Supported by nearly 200 Lutheran congregations of the Northeastern Iowa Synod and the Southeastern Iowa Synod of the ELCA, Ewalu hosts nearly 900 campers from all over Eastern Iowa and beyond. Founded in 1961 on the edge of northeast Iowa’s Driftless Region just west of Strawberry Point, the camp welcomes campers and retreat groups of all faith backgrounds.
This year’s summer camp theme is “Created to Be” based on Psalm 139:14. Campers will learn that they are loved and accepted by God, and that God has given them the free gift of grace. They will also explore what it means to be siblings in Christ, encouraging each other and sharing burdens and joys together. Campers are led in cabin groups by trained college-age counselors.
PROGRAMS FOR KIDS & FAMILIES
Two new camper programs are being offered this year that are great for animal lovers: Farm Mini-Camp for grades 1-2, and Ranch Camp for grades 7-9. Farm Mini-Camp takes Ewalu’s shorter 2-night format to the camp’s on-site farm, where kids will help feed and groom the animals. Ranch Camp is a week-long program in partnership with Sugar Creek Bible Camp in SW Wisconsin and their horses.
Campers with special needs are not left out at Ewalu! The Inclusive Camp Experience (ICE) during the week of June 16-21 offers extra volunteers and resources for kids who need some added support. Contact the camp office for details and to sign up; there is no extra fee beyond the regular program cost.
Camp is not just for kids; families can come enjoy camp together for Family Camp (Friday-Sunday, 3 sessions to choose from) and Grandparent Camp (Monday-Wednesday, 2 sessions to choose from) at Ewalu! Click here for dates and to learn more about these popular intergenerational programs.
Thanks to generous donors, Ewalu’s longtime policy is that no child is ever turned away for reasons of financial need. Contact Ewalu’s office for financial assistance to attend camp.
