All Are Welcome

As a part of our joy in serving the church and the community, as well as in justice to our guests, campers, volunteers, and staff members, Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries, including its Carol Joy Holling Camp, Conference, & Retreat Center and Sullivan Hills Camp, is committed to principles that enable opportunities for full participation in its programs and activities. These programs and activities include Christian education and spiritual, psychological, social, personal, and professional development. We welcome all people, and we do not tolerate behavior that discriminates based upon race, religion, color, creed, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, age or ancestry. Such discrimination is demeaning, destructive, and directly at odds with the Gospel of Christ and our goals of fostering equity, mutual understanding, and cooperation.

Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries, its staff, and representatives will work to provide systems and solutions that enable people to access and experience its buildings, grounds, facilities, and all of its programming by removing barriers that may exist that exclude underrepresented groups and individuals.

​This policy applies to year-round staff, summer staff, board members, volunteers, and any other representative of NLOM.

​The purpose of this policy is to ensure that NLOM, its camps, facilities, buildings, and programming are accessible, open, welcoming, affirming, safe, and available to all people regardless of who they are or where they come from.
