About Camp LUJO-KISMIF

Nestled in the great plains of southwest Oklahoma between the Wichita Mountains and the Red River, there is a large youth camp that was founded for the purpose of cultivating character in a manner that appeals to young people.

Our Mission

The mission of Camp Lu-Jo KISMIF is to provide wholesome activity for young people in a Christian environment by enriching their lives and cultivating spirituality, decency, and a good moral and Christian character.

The Board of Directors dedicates Camp Lu-Jo KISMIF to the training of young people spiritually, mentally, socially, and physically in the example of Luke 2:52: "And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men."

What does KISMIF mean?

"Lu-Jo" comes from the name Lucille Jones.
"KISMIF" stands for: Keep It Spiritual, Make It Fun!

Our History

In 1960, Mrs. Lucille (Jones) Aubrey, a member at the church of Christ in Walters, OK, made the campgrounds available to the members of the original board of directors.

The first session of Camp Lu-Jo was held June 23-30, 1962, with Harold McRay and Clyde Sloan co-directing the session. Camp Lu-Jo currently offers eight sessions and a fall retreat geared toward various age groups.

Camp Lu-Jo KISMIF has been celebrating Christian camping for over 60 summers!

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Camp LUJO-KISMIF and what to expect during your stay.

Each session has its own age requirements, so please check out our Sessions page to discover specifics. Generally speaking, Camp Lu-Jo has week-long sessions for those entering 4th grade through graduated seniors and a special day camp for children entering 1st grade through 4th grade.

Camper registration does not begin UNTIL 2:30 P.M. Sunday and ends about 5:00 P.M. Please remember that campers must not enter the dorms until they have completed registration! If you are running late, please don't hesitate to contact the staff for that session!

Absolutely! Please note however that each camp week has a MAXIMUM number of beds available, so it is possible that the session's registration will close even before camp begins. You can also now register online on each session's individual page! Contact that session's director for more information.

Please pick up your camper AFTER 9:00 A.M. and BEFORE 10:00 A.M. on Saturday morning of each camp session. We appreciate everyone staying until at least that time to help clean so camp can be ready for the next session! The staff are dismissed at 10:00 am on Saturday so campers must be picked up prior to that time.

Guests are encouraged to join their camper for evening worship services, which occur daily Sunday through Friday. Please check your session's schedule for their worship times.

Here is our most basic list:

  • • Bible
  • • Pencils and paper
  • • Clothes for a week
  • • Closed-toe shoes (something suitable for sports)
  • • Sweater or jacket (for cool nights)

Camp Lu-Jo is an oasis away from all the regular, routine things of life where you will have a full schedule of spending time with new friends and outdoors in God's creation. You will experience first-hand how you can have a closer relationship with God. So leave the electronics at home – trust us, you won't miss them!

We've already mentioned the electronics, but also on the DO NOT BRING list are lighters, matches, tobacco products, fireworks, hunting knives, firearms, laser pointers, playing cards, and/or collectors cards.

Here is a list of clothing items that are not allowed at camp:

  • • Tank tops, low cut blouses/t-shirts, short shorts. MINIMAL length allowed on shorts, skirts, or dresses is the top of the knee when standing.
  • • Tight-fitting clothing
  • • Clothing with inappropriate printing or messages (as determined by the Camp Director or staff) are also not allowed.

The assigned medical staff must be notified of ALL medicines and prescriptions a camper brings to camp. Please note that all prescriptions must be in ORIGINAL PRESCRIPTION CONTAINERS before they can be distributed to campers.
