Environmental Education at LMC!

Lutheran Memorial Camp is a year-round facility that is a part of the Lutheran Outdoor Ministries in Ohio (LOMO). The property is comprised of 417 acres of a variety of habitats: beech-maple forest, pine forest, meadow, open fields, streams, and a small pond. Facilities include a winterized lodge, winterized log cabins with bunk beds, Priebe Retreat Center, sport and play areas, Pioneer Homestead Village Site, and a Family Campground.

The Camp was established in 1948 as a youth summer camp. Programming then expanded to include families, senior citizens, retreat groups, physically and or mentally handicapped, and student groups. The Residential Environmental Education program was established in 1976. Since that time, this program has grown immensely in popularity and serves over 60 public and parochial schools throughout Ohio.

LMC is a classroom in outdoor settings, providing unique educational opportunities for public and parochial schools. Our goal is to present students with hands-on experiences to complement and enhance classroom education.
