About Camp K
Camp Knutson was donated in 1953
by Minnesota Congressman Harold Knutson to be used as a
summer retreat for "neglected, unfortunate, deprived and
handicapped children." Today the purpose of the camp has
been expanded and currently serves:
- Children with Skin
Disease
- Children with Autism
- Children with Down
Syndrome
- Children with Heart
Diseases
- Families affected by or
infected with HIV/AIDS members
Campers are enrolled in these
summer camp sessions through corresponding groups only. For a listing of those groups, click

Camp Knutson is accredited by
the American Camping Association and has been nationally
recognized by the American Academy of Dermatology.
In addition to the camp's summer program, Camp Knutson
serves as a retreat center for like groups during the off
season of September through May. For information on our Retreat Center, click here.
Camp Knutson is a program of Lutheran Social Service of
Minnesota, but is supported by generous donors and Friends of Camp Knutson.
