CALUMET ENJOYS MANY SOLID PARTNERSHIPS WITHOUT WHICH NEW ENGLAND'S LUTHERAN CAMPING MINISTRY SIMPLY COULDN'T CONTINUE WITH STRENGTH AND HEALTH
We have more than 150 primary partners -- the congregations of the New England Synod! These partners stretch across Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut -- and two partner on the northeastern border of New York. This partnership is lived out in all sorts of ways, including prayers, financial gifts, and PEOPLE. Guests visit Calumet to participate in every program all year long. The people fuel the Calumet Spirit that moves through this place. Calumet seeks to support and strengthen the congregations of the New England Synod through our partnered ministry.

Another valued partner of Calumet is Thrivent Financial, a unique financial services organization with roots in the Lutheran tradition. Thrivent helps Christians make financial decisions that support the lives they want to live today and in the future. Grounded in the belief that people thrive when they make the most of what they’ve been given (1 Peter 4:10), Thrivent members support Calumet through Thrivent Action Teams and Thrivent Choice. Thrivent has Financial Advisors in every state who are ready to assist with a wide range of financial planning needs. You can also explore Thrivent’s virtual and in‑person events HERE.
We enjoy a healthy partnership with all of the Lutheran camps throughout the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Calumet is the only Outdoor Ministry in New England but there are hundreds of Lutheran camps all over the country. Together with Lutheran Outdoor Ministries, leaders from these camps meet together annually, and some staff members meet on a regional basis. We exchanage resources and encouragement for this work we share and love!
