St. John’s Congregation is an associate member of the Camp Oak Ridge Association. This gives every one of our members the privilege of using this fine camping facility. The Camp is owned and operated by about 10 different WELS congregations from Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. We are one of two additional congregations granted the Associate Member status. Our Boy Pioneers Group pays the annual fee of $300.00 for our congregation.
The campground does not take reservations and the sites are not numbered. There are fire pits and fire wood is available at no cost (within reason) The entire campground is clean and beautiful. There are modern facilities complete with showers. There is a dump station. There are water and electrical hookups throughout the campground. In the worst rains there is no mud.
There are hiking trails too.
All of the campers you meet there are WELS members.

The cost to camp is $ 1 per night per adult. There is an extra charge for using the dump station but that is all.
