The annual Kansas District Lutheran Valley Retreat (LVR) summer camp encourages youth to grow spiritually, stretch themselves by bonding with new friends, and step out of their comfort zone by participating in physical challenges. LVR programming is designed to help participants make new friends and identify more closely with the body of Christ as they recognize that the faithful body is not just their home congregation but also individuals from all over Kansas, meeting together as one larger visible church.

The theme for the 2026 camp is “Summit” written by Paul White and is a thematical look at the various mountains in the Bible and how God is continually coming down to be with His people. Each mountain theme is also paired with a Psalm of Ascent.

Camp is open to all incoming freshmen to graduating seniors. Cost for Mt. Calvary youth is $350 (Check written to MCLC Youth) + travel meal money. Register below by 4/15.
