About Us

 

Camp Onomia is an outdoor ministry of Lutheran congregations and exists to provide spiritual renewal for all ages through the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Camp Onomia Mission Statement

 
The programs at Camp Onomia are driven by the conviction that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is good news for sinners, news that the world needs to hear.  Through a variety of summer and year-round programs we hope to assist our churches in their work of proclamation. God's Spirit is at work in this place where we gather to hear the Word of God in a different setting, our ears not ringing with the noises of our everyday lives. Our hope is that the various opportunities at Camp Onomia will help to re-kindle the flame of God's Word in those who gather here.
