“We all need more play days.
Come join us for some fun at our camp!”
Registration Guide
All are invited to First Lutheran Play Days @ Sugar Creek! There will be creek stomping, horseback rides, hiking, playing disc golf, campfires and time shared with others!
Come for two, one, or no nights. You could just come for a day trip!
Since there are so many options, and various expenses, registration is handled by Sugar Creek, on their platform. For those who have registered with Sugar Creek before, this registration platform is nothing new. NONE THE LESS, there are a few things you’ll want to know before you register… see below!
For those who are new to Sugar Creek, do not fear! These steps may seem daunting, but it is actually straightforward; the camp has broken them down into numerous steps to make each one easy.
You can either follow the guide in the image gallery on this page, or you can download view/print the camp’s PDF guide here…
