Announcing the LUM Camp 2025 Theme

The Wonders of Water | July 29 – August 1

This summer’s LUM Camp theme is The Wonders of Water, offering a fun and educational experience for 84 local children ages 8 to 10. From July 29 to August 1, LUM Campers will enjoy four days and three nights at a beautiful, overnight camp filled with discovery, creativity, and outdoor adventure. This year’s theme brings water into focus in exciting new ways.

LUM Campers will explore the water cycle and learn about enclosed ecosystems by building their own terrariums. LUM Camp director Marlena shared, “I made my first terrarium during a vacation and was amazed at how it sustained itself. I thought it would be the perfect way to teach LUM Campers about the water cycle. Plus, they’ll have something to take home and share with their families.”

LUM Camp will feature Professor Steve with his popular Wild Water Science Show. LUM Campers will also take part in a water-themed scavenger hunt, and a watercolor art session will introduce various techniques, including frozen watercolors and painting on wet paper. An exciting highlight is the WaterColor Battle—a playful competition combining tag and flag football, using water bottles filled with color and white flags. The winning cabin gets first dibs on s’mores.

In addition to the water-themed activities they will enjoy LUM Camp traditions like archery, boating, swimming, rock climbing, ziplining, morning campfires, nature hikes, and plenty of snacks. LUM Camp 2025 promises a week full of creativity, learning, and summer fun.
