22.01.2022 We’re pretty excited here in the Luther Heights Kitchen today .... stay tuned

21.01.2022 This is the next exciting chapter in our 62 year history- youth camping in 2020!

21.01.2022 Welcome ... To the Luther Heights Test Kitchen! Huge thanks to Jayden Pasman for filming and editing.

19.01.2022 To our wonderful community We at Luther Heights Youth Camp have made the decision to shut our doors to all normal operations from today (24th March) until the 27th June 2020 (start of the school holidays) or until further notice. For many decades we been the highlight of kid’s year! We will take this moment to remember the value of camp and why we have existed and why we will continue to.... We run camps for the children, for the excitement and nervousness that comes from packing your bag with Mum and Dad the night before camp, for the energy that surrounds the packing list. For the songs, the games and the fun the children have on bus ride to camp. We run camps for the over the top energy that comes from choosing which bunk you’ll sleep in; whether you’ll be on the top or the bottom bunk, who will be next to you and laughs and giggles that will happen late into the night. We run camps for the nervous energy and anxiousness that children face when deciding to climb the ladder to reach the top of the flying fox and the internal voice that says you can do it! We run camp for the squeals of joy, the smile of relief and for the confidence building statement I did it! We run camps for the endless question what’s for dinner? For the joy the pancakes for breakfast brings, for the smile that you can only get by scooping an extra scoop of ice cream. We run camp because life is better outside in the hills surrounded by the beautiful Australian bush and fauna or at the beach with waves lapping at your feet and the sand and salt in your hair. We run camps because we believe in children, because we embrace their chaotic ways, because we love to see them grow, and smile and laugh. We run camp because we love our God and we love kids. All of this is as true now as it was 60 years ago when Luther Heights first began. Right now we sit ready to respond to the needs of our community, our government and our nation. God has blessed us with 338 beds, 44 toilets, 43 showers, an outstanding commercial kitchen operation and a team with hearts of service and love. In the meantime, we are praying for God’s providence and in this time as we approach Easter, we remember the dark suffering that was endured on Good Friday and look to the triumphant celebration that all things are made new on Easter Sunday. Grace and Peace Your Luther Heights Team.

14.01.2022 It’s been worth the wait! Ocean Outlook - our new venue officially opens 18/1. Praise be to God!

13.01.2022 We’ve called this building Ocean Outlook. It was an obvious choice. . All the glory to God.

11.01.2022 Camps are back at Luther Heights and here's what they are saying "We did not think camp could happen, but with Luther Heights we made it happen together. Its been an amazing experience for all." "All our teachers felt the COVID plan was appropriate and well implemented."... "I recommend Luther Heights to any school that is thinking about a camp or retreat during these difficult COVID restrictions." We couldn't be happier to have our beautiful campsite full of life again. We continue to be vigilant and prayerful every day.

11.01.2022 We are back! On this glorious winters morning, we’re excited to announce that Luther Heights is opening for camps of all descriptions! As always, EVERYONE is welcome. Of course, camp will look a little different when you visit, but change is something we are all getting used to.... During our time without campers, we have painted our venues, removed truckloads of non-native vegetation, upgraded our vanities, developed new activities, planted a herb garden, and discovered that we are home to a spotted tail Quoll! Our time in isolation hasn’t all been good. People lost their jobs; their incomes and their security. We’ve struggled with patience, trust, and faith. We’ve been angry, depressed, and broken. We’ve learned that we do not like uncertainty; that we prefer to be in control of our destiny. Our humanity was on full display. Despite this, we believe that God was with us through it all. The Bible tells us that God’s love comes down to us and says, I understand, I’ve been there, please trust me. Our prayer is that we will grow in trust, patience, and faith. This is also our prayer for the wider world. Our camp is ready. Our team is ready. The sun is shining and the ocean is glassy. Let camp be your highlight of this turbulent year. Grace and Peace The Luther Heights Team
