Scholarships
We never want cost to prohibit a family or individual from experiencing rest and renewal at Camp Arcadia. Applying for scholarships is now easier than ever! If you or someone you know would benefit from a retreat or vacation at Camp Arcadia at a reduced cost, have them visit scholarships to apply for available scholarship funds!
Are you an employee of a Christian church or school? You’re eligible for a scholarship from our new Ministry Scholarship Fund! Complete the application form on the website and be sure to check the box to indicate that you work for a Christian church, school, or camp.

LCA Membership and Priority Registration
One of the perks of Lutheran Camp Association (LCA) membership is priority registration. However, your membership does not guarantee that your family will get into a retreat at Camp Arcadia.
Sending Forms After January 5, 2024
All registration requests submitted online or postmarked after January 5, 2024 will be processed in the order that they are received. If all the retreats on your registration form are full, we will not process your deposit and will place you on the waitlist. Depending on the volume of registrations we receive, we expect to notify you about your status within 7-10 business days after February 7, 2024 or after you submit your registration form (if after February 7).
Waitlist
Guests who are not accommodated through the registration process will be placed on waitlists for all retreats listed under “retreat preferences” on their submitted registration form. To ensure the security of your financial information, we will not retain your deposit payment information if you are put on a waitlist. Upon being moved off of the waitlist and into a retreat, we will call to collect payment information for the full deposit amount to be paid at that time.
Group Reservations
Multi-household groups are welcome to register together. Groups of up to 30 people from more than one mailing address wishing to attend the same week are considered “Group Reservations.” To make a Group Reservation, follow the following steps.
- Select a Group Contact Person. This person will act as liaison and coordinator between the Camp Office and the members of the group.
- Submit your registrations by the priority deadline (January 5, 2024) as follows: either enclose all registration forms together in one envelope and mail them together OR submit separately, indicating the Group Contact Person on each registration form (either by mail or online). Please note that the Group Contact Person should be the same person on all forms for the group.
Group Reservations are most easily accommodated in the weeks earlier or later in the summer. If LCA members wish to submit a group reservation, all households included in the group reservation must be LCA members to receive the LCA membership priority registration.
Additional Important Information
- Confirmation emails will be sent when possible, so please include a working email address on your registration form.
- Vacation rates are for the entire retreat. Late arrivals, early departures or missed meals do not reduce the cost. For the Arcadia Men’s Retreat, there is an option to arrive Thursday evening for an additional surcharge (see the rates table).
- Room assignments are made according to your needs; we make every effort to ensure your comfort and grant your preference. Consideration is given to the number of people in your party, bed space and health needs. Rooms in the Inn are available along with dorm style housing in the back of the Assembly.
- The LLL Men’s Retreat runs from Thursday through Sunday lunch. The Arcadia Men’s Retreat runs from Friday through Sunday lunch (with the option to add on Thursday evening for a surcharge). Your confirmation letter will contain additional details on check-in and check-out times.
