Our Story

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, both Luther Crest Bible Camp in Alexandria, Minnesota and Cross Roads Camp and Retreat Center in Port Murray, New Jersey had to cancel on-site summer camp programs and innovate a way to move their impactful programming online.

After both camps successfully brought worship, Bible studies, games, environmental education, meaningful connection, faith formation, and much more to an online format during Summer 2020, both camps joined together in order to help share resources, tips, and tools to congregations working to do the same.

With time, our network and what we offer continues to grow. As we continue our work across the states, we appreciate your support and would be honored to partner with your congregation as we journey through this time together.

I want to learn more!

Our Mission

Our History

Impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, Luther Crest and Cross Roads moved online in an attempt to bring people closer together during a time where the world felt distant to one another. With amazing response, we brought our camp staff together to birth MyBTF, to continue our work throughout the world.
