What is Crossways Camping Ministries?

We are an Outdoor Ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Our offices are located in Appleton, Wisconsin.

We manage three outdoor ministry sites in Northeast and Central Wisconsin:

These facilities provide programs and retreat/conference space for guests throughout the year. In addition, Summer Day Camps are held in member congregations. Servant and Adventure based programs travel statewide.

We also are in partnership with the ELCSA, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Southern Africa where we are developing with them a new outdoor ministries site.

  • Camp Marang near Rustenburg, South Africa

Crossways is sponsored by over 150 congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The three camps of Crossways are highly regarded:

  • high program quality and integrity
  • excellent, well maintained facilities
  • careful stewards of land and water resources
  • professional and hospitable full time staff

Current Needs

  Are you able to provide a financial gift to send a kid to camp this summer? Summer camp fees cover only 75% of the actual cost of a week at camp. We invite you to consider a donation of money to make a difference this year!

Do you have some items we could use hidden in  your garage or closet somewhere?

  • reams of paper
  • HP ink jet cartridges (56, 57)
  • mini van
  • 12 passenger van
  • craft supplies
  • candles and candle wax

We can use those gifts too!
