The Low Ropes Course is a series of activities designed for group development. Led by our trained staff, these experiences can help to build your group into a community, helping them to reflect on issues of leadership, fellowship, service, communication, grace, problem-solving, trust, fear, and hope. All participants participate at the level of their ability and challenge. The course also includes warm-up and team-building field games.

The program is open to people ages 10 and up, for non-profit groups as well as professional groups. Groups should allow a minimum of an hour and a half to work on the challenge course as trained facilitators guide your group through an array of activities. Times must be reserved in advance of your visit. A minimum of 8, and a maximum of 15 per group or station. Multiple groups may participate simultaneously.

Lake Lucerne Camp and Retreat

I just took part in a retreat at the Lucerne Camp/Retreat Center, and it was wonderful. The personnel and site manager were helpful and cordial. The facilities are comfortable and well-maintained.

To ensure that campers of all ages, families, and retreat groups have the greatest experience possible while at Lake Lucerne, careful program planning and staff training takes place all year long. Do not be reluctant to register yourself or your child for a stay at our excellent camp!

It is in a beautiful location with excellent amenities and a committed staff. I hope I could stay here for a longer period. An excellent place to strengthen your religion and get closer to nature.
