Camp Onomia

Celebrating 76 Years of Outdoor Ministry and Growing Forward Together!

Since 1949, Camp Onomia has been a place where faith comes alive through creation, community, and Christ-centered hospitality. For generations, campers have discovered belonging, built lifelong friendships, and grown in confidence and faith beneath the pines along Shakopee Lake.

Rooted in the ELCA and open to all, we welcome every person into the joyful community of camp, a place where all are valued, celebrated, and invited to grow in God’s love.

This year, your gift will help:

🔥 Update the Retreat Center boiler

❄️ Add air conditioning to camper dorms

🔥 Enhance heating in the chapel

These improvements will make camp more comfortable and sustainable for guests throughout the year.

Your generosity also helps:

🌿 Provide life-changing camp experiences for children, youth, and families

✨ Support young adult leaders who share Christ’s love through service

🏕️ Care for sacred spaces that renew spirits in every season

When you give, you ensure that this outdoor ministry continues to shine God’s light for the next generation through canoe trips, campfire worship, and the warmth of community in every retreat.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of children, youth, and families through your camp. Life is good here, and your generosity helps it grow.
