Camp Onomia Association

Association of Congregations

The Camp Onomia Association of Congregations is comprised of 52 Lutheran churches in Minnesota who are co-owners of the camp.  Through its board of directors, this association provides vision, oversight, direction,  and support to the ministry of Camp Onomia.
Member churches have voting rights at the annual meeting and are eligible to be represented on the board of directors.

Becoming part of the Onomia Association is a way for your congregation to support a valuable ministry of the church.

  • Preferred access to all camp programs.
  • A home away from home for all your church"s retreat and camping needs.
  • Reduced rates for camp use.
