She attended and was confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church in Deer Park, Washington and has many fond memories of attending confirmation retreats and summer camp at Lutherhaven as a kid. This May, she graduated Magna Cum Laude from Pacific Lutheran University earning a Bachelor of Science in Physics with minors in Religion, Anthropology, and Mathematics.
Shae Herrick
Email shae@lutherhaven.com
Shae grew up near Nashville, TN and graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga with a degree in Outdoor Recreation. However, she could not deny her Northwest roots and decided to move back to the PNW and pursue a career in Outdoor Ministry. Shae loves to play outside with her dog, Lucky, and is looking forward to learning about all things camp in her year as an intern!
Laura Neidhold
Email laura@lutherhaven.com
Laura has been coming to camp her entire life. From summer camp at Lutherhaven to Deck the Halls in the winter and then up the river to Shoshone Creek Ranch, camp has always been her home away from home. Laura graduated from Spokane Falls Community College in 2017 with an Associate of Arts degree. She spent the next two years attending Concordia University Portland as a secondary education major. Outside of camp and college, Laura enjoys journaling, spending time at the lake, card games, and socializing with new and old friends.
