Caroline Furnace History

1957 - 2007

50 years and counting

In 1957 the Lutheran Synod of Virginia acquired the nearly 400 acre site, and plans were undertaken immediately to begin a Summer Camping Program.

The first offerings were in the summer of 1959 when two one week sessions were available. A major ministry expansion occurred in 1965 with the construction of the Moyer Lodge and eight cabins.

The core offering of Caroline Furnace Lutheran Camp continues to be our Summer Camp Program which now offers eight one week sessions each summer.

Through the years numerous other programs and retreat opportunities have developed and are offered year-round to groups of all ages
