Cabin bathrooms — updated facilities and bathhouses
We have updated about half of our cabins to include private restrooms and showers, as well as electric hand dryers. There are two private bathhouses on both sides of camp with toilets, sinks and showers that are within walking distance of all the cabins. Our main lodge (Sawtooth) has modern bathrooms and a filtered water bottle drinking fountain.
Sawtooth Mountains, central Idaho; surrounded by alpine lakes, pine trees, and mountain views; located on Alturas Lake Road near Stanley, ID.

Camper testimonial — community and coming back every year
"I keep coming back because I know I will have fun. The community is just so kind. Some of my good friends I only see at camp, but it fills me for the whole year." — Katie, Trailblazer Camper
Radical welcome & belonging — LHBC's inclusive community statement
Luther Heights Bible Camp is a diverse community that welcomes and accepts everyone – especially you! You're invited to join us, whether you're a seasoned camper or it's your first time in the mountains, whether your beliefs are rock-solid or you're still exploring. You are embraced regardless of past rejections or exclusions from communities due to your inquiries, relationship status, identity, orientation, ethnicity, age, capabilities, or any other aspect of your uniqueness. This is a space where you belong. We know this because we believe that in our diversity, we know God more fully. Your presence is a gift to our community.
At 7,200 ft, Luther Heights is surrounded by stunning views of the mountains, alpine lakes, and pine trees. All generations of guests enjoy walking along the trails to their log cabins, relaxing in an Adirondack chair with a view of the meadow, hiking, swimming, or canoeing all day, winding down with a family-style meal in the community lodge, and ending the day around a campfire.
Whitewater rafting — Sawtooth Adventure Co., Salmon River
We offer white water rafting as an add-on opportunity for Navigators and LITs, as well as for Family+ and Grand Camps. We partner with Sawtooth Adventure Co. for a 2-3 hour guided white water raft trip on the Middle Fork and Salmon River featuring Class III family-friendly rapids. Participants must be 10+. This adventure is $110 per person.
ACA Accreditation — what it means for health and safety
The American Camp Association Accreditation process is a voluntary commitment by camps to the highest standards of health, safety, and program quality. The ACA standards establish guidelines for needed policies, procedures, and practices related to the health and safety of campers and staff. Luther Heights Bible Camp is an ACA-Accredited camp.
We have bunks in our log cabins with a twin-sized mattress. Please bring a sleeping bag or bedding for your mattress. It can dip to low temperatures at night, even into the 30s during the summer because we're at 7,200 ft elevation, so please ensure your bedding will be warm enough.
Check-in with Health Care Manager and Food Service Director
Check In is from 4 – 6 pm on the first day of the program (Sunday for youth camps, Fridays for most retreats). Campers and Guardians will meet the LHBC staff and check in with the Health Care Manager and Food Service Director as needed.
