About Us

Camp Wartburg is a retreat center and camp facility that invites youth, adults, and families of all backgrounds to encounter God’s creation through activities devoted to the body, mind, and spirit. Camp Wartburg is an appealingly low-key and safe place—a welcoming natural setting for new and unique adventures and moments of prayerful reflection. Visitors can take part in a variety of summer camps, four-season outdoor education events for organized groups and schools, and year-round facility rentals for one-day and overnight retreats, family reunions and other events.

Camp Wartburg is owned and operated by Lutheran Child and Family Services of Illinois, a statewide social service agency serving children and families through children's, youth residential, clinical and community services.  Since 1963, Camp Wartburg has served St. Louis and southwest Illinois.
