WELS Camp Jefferson is a Christian summer camp located just outside of Fairbury, Nebraska, that is associated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Usually occurring in mid-late July, WELS Camp Jefferson offers two separate camps: a youth camp, for children entering third through eighth grades, and a teen camp, for young adults entering high school through age 19. Both camps provide fun and fellowship in a safe, Christ-centered environment. The camp is staffed by dedicated volunteers, who direct the camp activities under the leadership of the Camp Director.
WELS Camp Jefferson is located at the Camp Jefferson campground south of Fairbury, NE. For more information on the history of the campground, visit the Camp Jefferson Campground webpage.
