A camp lantern includes a housing having an outer wall, a lower surface, and an upper surface with an LED module positioned thereon. A U-shaped handle attached to opposing sides of the outer wall allows the lantern to be easily transported to remote locations. Removably superimposable on the LED module is a frosted, semispherical cover that allows the lantern to be used as a portable light source. Any one of a plurality of interchangeable, substantially opaque covers with transparent, thematic design elements can be substituted for the frosted cover to convert the camping lantern to an image projector. When the LED module is activated, light only passes through the transparent portions to project the design elements onto a tent or cabin ceiling.
