Pioneer
Camp and Retreat Center Camp Pioneer, "A warm place in the Son," is one-quarter mile of beautiful beachfront property on Lake Erie in Angola, New York with 75 acres of woodlands, cabins, picnic areas, and grounds. The WNY Lutheran Laymen's League (LLL) established Camp Pioneer in 1945. The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, Eastern District, representing nearly 150 member congregations across the western half of New York, all of Pennsylvania, and part of Maryland, purchased the camp from LLL. Incorporated in 1991, Pioneer Camp and Retreat Center, Inc. continues to provide the same quality Christian recreational and educational opportunities to residents of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and other states as well as Ontario, Canada. Pioneer welcomes people regardless of race, creed, or religion. Since 1945, summer resident camping programs have provided unique experiences with positive role models affording opportunities to live with one another in Christian fellowship. Diverse programs for children 6-12, teens 13-17 and families impact not only individual's own lives, but also their relationship within their families and their communities as well. In 1976 Pioneer became a year round facility and added various outdoor education programs for schools. A successful program for developmentally disabled children and adults was implemented. Winterized facilities are suitable for families, youths, teens, and adults. Retreat facilities provide a unique venue for seminars, workshops, events and retreats that strengthen families, congregations, councils, groups and individuals of all ages. Today Pioneer serves over 10,000 people annually in a setting where God's marvelous creation inspires us to grow as Christians. In many cases it has prepared individuals for professional church work. It is a place for inspiration and meditation, for service and relaxation, for education and reflection, for body, mind and soul. It is "a warm place in the Son."
