Since 1999, one of the time-honored traditions of Valley Lutheran has been Orientation Camp. This amazing opportunity includes taking the entire student body to northern Arizona for 3 days to build relationships, enjoy God’s creation and have fun.

Some highlights include: White Flame Games, which is a ‘minute to win it” style competition among family groups, the Lip Sync battle, zipline, paintball, climbing wall, and worship led by alumni and teachers. Students experience this within the first weeks of school to build relationships and culture for the entire school year.

PARENT TESTIMONIAL

Both of my sons attend Valley Lutheran, one just graduated this year and the other is entering his sophomore year. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. The school offers small class sizes, which creates a strong sense of community and close bonds between students and teachers. Both of my sons love the school environment and are actively involved in sports, including football, basketball, and track.
Valley Lutheran does an excellent job preparing students for the future. The school provides great support for SAT preparation, AP classes, and the college admissions and financial aid process.

Family Groups

Family groups are 10-15 students, from all grade levels that meet throughout the week for academic support, devotion/Bible Study, and Servant Leadership.

Family Groups allow for discipleship to happen with teachers having one group for the whole year in order to be a support and help for each student individually and as a group. During devotions, students are guided through discussion on faith, Scripture, and following Christ together. Family groups also participate in service projects throughout the year.
