It is time! Registration letters were put in the mail last week and the website has now been updated with new registration information! Please read everything below to answer our most popular questions. If you don't see your question answered, please send us a message.
If you are not on our mailing list (your camper did not attend in 2025 or are new to Camp Lookout) you MUST go to the website and print off a registration form to send in.
We are EXCITED for your camper to stay at Lookout this summer!
A few things:
1. You must send in your deposit money at the same time as your registration. We will not hold your campers' spot without the registration and deposit.
2. We will try to honor everyone's request to be put in the same cabin as a friend, but please note, this may not always work, especially as when full to capacity. Please indicate on your form who you would like to be in a cabin with.
3. If you have already viewed the website this year and the registration form from last year, you will need to refresh the registration page in order to view the 2026 registration.
3. Please DM any questions here, email [email protected] or call 319.372.5350 and leave a message. Someone will get back to you as quick as we can (we are volunteers)! Do not call the camp phone number or send registrations to the camp mailing address.
4. Check out our website for a list of daily activities, gear you will need to bring, NEW Code of Conduct, and for information as our weeks fill to capacity.

Today we celebrate someone whose love and talent have filled our bellies and our hearts for the past 20 summers—our incredible camp cook, Miss Cookie.

From the very first dinner bell ringing to the final plate scraped clean, Cookie has turned simple meals into lifelong memories. Who could forget the warm, cheesy scalloped potatoes and ham, or the smell of apple crisp drifting from the kitchen during Spiritual Life class.

Her fruit pizza and pumpkin bars are the stuff of legends and always gone in 60 seconds. And don’t even get us started on her brownies… fudgy perfection that somehow made every day feel like a special occasion.

Here’s to the laughs, the secret recipes, the legendary food, and the love that goes into every bite. Camp wouldn’t be the same without you!

Ask any camper or counselor what they miss most, and odds are her cooking is at the top of the list. But more than that, it’s her laughter from the kitchen, her quiet acts of kindness, and her unwavering love that have made her a camp treasure.

Thank you, Miss Cookie, for two decades of unforgettable flavors, endless love, and food that lives rent-free in our hearts. 💛

Camp wouldn’t be camp without you
