Camp Io-Dis-E-Ca is a year-round outdoor recreational and camping environment affiliated with the Iowa District East of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. One of the primary ways we carry out our mission is by offering a summer camp program for youth.
Each day at summer camp, campers begin and end each day with the Word of God and prayer, learn about Jesus Christ through Bible study and devotions, and make lasting friendships. We value the use of God’s natural creation as a catalyst for sharing and teaching God’s Word to young people and their families.
Alpha Lodge is a year-round, versatile building with 11 rooms, fully air conditioned and heated. It is an ideal lodge for adult conferences and retreats and family reunions. There are three dormitory-style rooms and seven high-comfort, hotel-style rooms, each with a private bath. The high comfort rooms can accommodate a maximum of 32, and the additional dormitory rooms can accommodate 40 people. The Lodge contains a dining hall and activity hall, which can be combined or split with a divider. These can be used for various purposes, both together and separate. We can set up a dining hall for over 200 people or do a conference setup for 125 people. Many times we’ll divide them by putting a conference style setup in the activity hall of 50+ people and then have an equal size setup in the dining hall. Omega Lodge is a two-floor, dormitory-style lodge that is air-conditioned and winterized for comfortable year-round use. Though designed to accommodate youth groups, Omega Lodge can also be used for adult retreats and family reunions. The upper floor contains two main areas, the meeting hall and the guest rooms. A main meeting hall is a carpeted meeting area with an attached kitchen.
On the other side of the upper floor are eight bedrooms that can house over 80 people with an attached shower house. The lower floor also includes an activity area that has ping pong and foosball tables. The basement can also be remade into another meeting area. The area surrounding the Omega Lodge also provides space for fellowships and outdoor meals, along with meetings. Families and groups who want to have a campfire at night can use the area around the campfire pit to enjoy their evenings.
Our campers have no shortage of things to do while at camp. Being that our programs accommodate campers in kindergarten up to high school seniors, our summer camp program features activities suitable for elementary campers as well as advanced activities for older campers.
