Camp Fever - Badlands Ministries
Camp Fever
T
here are many things I love about Badlands
Ministries. I love our beautiful site that is
nestled between the Little Missouri River and
majestic buttes. I love being around faithful and
dedicated people who love and serve this ministry. I
love eager and energetic campers who come and
experience God's love in unexpected ways. I love
being a part of a ministry that grows faith and changes
lives. And I will tell you one more thing I love about
Badlands Ministries... it is contagious.
After 13 years, I know that it is a place that
grabs on to you and does not let go. Not only has that
been true in my own life, but I have seen it happen
frequently to others as well. From past campers like
Jessie Urlacher (who would attend multiple weeks of
camp every summer) to our Site Manager Bernie
Kordonowy (who got involved with one project 5
years ago and has poured his heart and soul into this
place ever since), the proof is there. There are both
families that have been a part of this camp for
generations and those who have only recently come to

discover it who cannot shake it. They are drawn
to this place and ministry like a thirsting man to
an oasis in the desert. The Holy Spirit moves
people in surprising ways, and I am blessed to
have a front row seat much of the time when it
happens.
Fred Tooz did not have a rich history
with Badlands Ministries. Born on a ranch just
west of Killdeer ND, he moved to Dickinson at
the age of 14 after his father passed away at the
young age of 44. Fred started working doing
construction jobs after school, weekends,
summers, and he never stopped. Right after high
school, Fred started his construction business
and a new family, and both have grown ever
since. Today, Fred has been married 45 years and
has 4 sons and 9 grandchildren. Fred also has a
great appreciation for Badlands Ministries... he
has caught "Camp Fever."
In 2006, Tooz Construction won the bid
to build our new bath house, dining hall, septic
system, pump house, and drain field. It was at
that time that Fred became acquainted with
Badlands Ministries. Fred recalls, "From the
onset of looking at the first set of drawings, I
understood that it was going to be a huge
undertaking to make this become a reality, and I
wanted to make it happen." Tooz construction
not only did an excellent job, but they donated
(”Camp Fever” continued) some of the work
in-kind. "Early on I saw this was a project that
could mold so many lives, and I wanted to do
what I could," said Fred.
Fortunately for Badlands Ministries,
Fred caught "Camp Fever" and was not just
content with the septic system and buildings he
built. These past few years he has been willing
and able to do more at no charge, including
working last month to resurface all our roads,
build a new road to our renovated lodge, and
build a new parking lot for the lodge. Fred
spent over 200 hours on these projects, and his
company logged in an additional 1,239 hours.
Around 145 loads of scoria was hauled in (most
donated by Allen Richards), and it took 8,400
yards of dirt to make the road and parking area.
Fred did much of this work himself,
and some of it was even a bit dangerous at
times. As Fred tells it: "The amount of fill we
needed to build a nice road required stripping
dirt from the northeast butte benching from the
top to the bottom. I had a couple of scraper
slides that kind of elevated my blood pressure!"
We are grateful for Fred Tooz and Tooz
Construction, and for all those who have given
and continue to give their time, talents, and
resources to Badlands Ministries. Perhaps the
reason Badlands Ministries is so contagious to
so many is because it is but a small glimpse of
what God has in store for all those he has saved
through Christ by his grace and love. Who does
not want to re-connect with God in fresh and
meaningful ways? There is no shame in
contracting "Camp Fever," and fortunately,
there is no cure.
Site Usage Update
T
hey are coming back! A family that had a reunion at
camp in 2012 has just scheduled a date to return in 2014.
How exciting that they want to return to our beautiful
site. We also had two families requesting the site for their
family’s Thanksgiving. We tried to accommodate both, but it
just didn't work out. The Retreat Center has been and continues
to be a busy place. It is so rewarding to be able to participate in
the various activities that are taking place here.
Of the 11 weddings, 4 of them used the retreat center to
accommodate family and guests. One wedding was actually
even held in our retreat center. Adult activities include ministry
groups, a marriage retreat, a week long class sponsored by our
synod, the Fish & Game 'Becoming an Outdoor Woman'
Retreat, and a couple of men's retreats. Search and other youth
groups continue to use the center as well.
There were eight family reunions in 2013, and we
already have six reunions and six weddings already scheduled
for 2014! In March we will again host the regional Seven Day
Adventists Men's Group. We will also be hosting a large Boy
Scout camp out, a Lions youth camp, and a National Guard
group next summer. We look forward to hosting the returning
groups as well as those who are newcomers to the camp.
The blessings continue to flow; one of our occasional
guests volunteered to do some roofing! Thanks to him
and family members we have a new roof on one of the
cabins. Our fall Holiday Crafting Retreat found us
missing Nathan but thoroughly enjoying our new
program director, Christina. Everyone had a great
time and some projects were even completed! The
next crafting retreats are scheduled for February and
April. Check the Badlands Ministries web calendar
for exact dates. Badlands Ministries continues to
inspire and bless me as well as our guests. The camp is
truly a blessing as it continues to witness to the power
and love of our Savior Jesus Christ in the lives of
those who work and visit here.
The Sander Family Mini-Reunion over the
Thanksgiving Holiday had 11 kids under the age of 7!

C
alling North Dakota home for my entire 24 years of
existence, I was born in Minot and soon moved to
Hettinger where I grew up and graduated high school. I
returned to my birth place for a year and a half of college before
transferring to The Art Institute's of Pittsburg - Online. I found
myself planted back in southwest North Dakota while working
on my degree in Graphic Design. It's at this point in my life that I
received my first taste of the sweet nectar that is Badlands
Ministries.
Having never been a camper or involved with the camp,
it wasn't long before I found my home beyond home. Working as
summer staff for the past 4 years, this will be my first year
working part time year round as the Marketing Director. I also
work as the lead graphic designer for Sure Sign (a local
Dickinson sign and graphics business).
Helping other individuals grow in their faith and life is
just one of my many passions. Music, art, and creativity plays a
big role in my day-to-day activities. The camp has been such a
blessing to me, giving me the opportunity and avenue to express
these passions. Having been called to be the Marketing Director,
I have the privilege to encourage others to come and take in the
unforgettable and life changing experience that Badlands
Ministries offers.
T
echnology has never blossomed more
than it is in today's society. With
advancements in web, social media, and
the like, we have so much potential at our
fingertips.
Badlands Ministries website
(badlandsministries.org) is going through a
digital facelift. By January 2014, our plan is to
have a new, improved, and more functional
online presence for Badlands Ministries in
place.
The fun doesn't stop there! We will be
branching out through social media avenues as
well. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and
vertical response emailing are just a few of the
many tools that we will be putting to use in
order to try to get the word out about the fun and
exciting events that are taking place at camp.
If you wish to stay up to date on
everything that is Badlands Ministries, like our
Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and
Instagram, and sign up for our email updates.
Fall Event Recap
by Belinda Urlacher, Chairperson
I
t's hard to believe that another Fall Event has come and gone. I want to
thank our committee members, as well as those who helped with the details
or supplied some much needed new ideas. Thank you, Lola Fong, Sherry
Ziemann, Patti Curran, LaRae Tschetter, Deb Rodne, and Donna Sandvik. We
appreciate your help and know your dedication and commitment to the camp

aided our success.
Special auction items this year included beautiful quilts, beef packages donated by Mrnak Ranch and Flying J
Ranch, and artwork from local artists Chris Fulton, Marsha Lehmann, and Sarah Snavely. Other generous donations
included gift packages, gift baskets, and services from the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation, Eagles Ridge
Lodge, the AmericInn of Medora, Circle C Gallery & Gifts, Todd Old Time Photo Shoot, Hidden Java Springs, ND
Cowboy Hall of Fame, Buffalo Gap Stitches, Cedar Canyon Spa, and Frankie's Westside Conoco. Many smaller items
also went very well. Thank you to all the ladies who brought pies and made our pie auction, once again, a success, and
everyone who contributed this year. All of the donations were beautiful and greatly appreciated.
Attendance was down, but we still managed to raise quite a bit of money. Again, a big thank you to the crowd
because items went well beyond what we expected! I would also like to give a big thanks to those who helped on
Sunday; it could never have been done without your help. The crowd was great, the food was great, and the money
raised was fantastic...a total of $31,329.56!
We could not do what we do if it were not for all of you who “show up” for the event and contribute your time
and money to help the camp this day and throughout the year. So on behalf of the Fall Event committee, I would like to
say thank you for your continued support, both financially and with your time and talents. See you next year!

Summer Recap: Badlands Ministries- Helping Keep Faith Alive in 2013
T
he summer camping season of 2013 saw yet another record number of campers. Badlands Ministries was blessed to minister to
1,322 total campers this year. Both returning and new campers visited us in Medora, and our staff took our Day Camp program
to 15 communities over the course of the summer. All participants learned how to keep their faith alive by reading the Bible,
praying, serving others, and worshiping God. They focused all these aspects around love, based on our theme verse which came
from 1 Corinthians 16:14 saying “Let all you do be done in love.”
Badlands Ministries also helped share the love by collecting school supplies
for students in south western North Dakota. A HUGE thank you goes out to all of
YOU for your contributions; we were able to deliver two car-loads of supplies to
Consolidated in Dickinson, where the items were sorted and delivered to those who
needed them the most!
Two new, family-based programs were offered in 2013, Family Trailblazers and
Grandparent Camp. We were blessed to have Grandparents, grandchildren, cousins,
siblings, and parents all have an opportunity to spend time together and to spend
time with us!
As always, the
summer staff made this all
possible. The 25 young adults
who spent countless hours
sharing Christ's message and
love to all they met are the
individuals who make a real
impact in our ministry. We
couldn't do it without them
and are blessed they have
shared their faith, their time,
and their amazing gifts with
Badlands Ministries.

Lodge party.
hanks to Fred Tooz and Tooz Construction, we have a beautiful new road
and parking lot so people can get to and use our beautiful renovated
historic lodge! We will have an official celebration this spring, but we are
already taking reservations to rent this unique building
for weddings, family reunions, ministry retreats, and
more.
We are grateful to Duane Thorsteinson, his crew,
and the many dedicated local volunteers who worked so
hard to make this happen, including Kenny and Mary
Abrahamson and Dave Curran. The "Love the Lodge"
crew had a party to celebrate the lodge's completion this
October that included some grilled burgers, a live blue
grass band, and some dancing. It was wonderful to see
new life in the old lodge once again!
Cabin Renovations
T
hree of the cabins are finished on the inside complete with new windows,
an ac/heating unit, new flooring, new vanities, an added shower in each,
new furniture (queen bed, bunk bed, dresser, night stand, armoire, etc) and
furnishings. These cabins are now as nice as the rooms in our retreat center!
We are now finishing up the outside of these cabins with new siding and
shingles. Thanks to Leonard Fischer of Amidon, we already have a new roof on
New queen sized bed,
one of the cabins. Our Site Manager Bernie will continue to work with staff and
twin bunk bed (above),
volunteers to finish the outside of these cabins as weather permits. We are

especially thankful for the volunteer help thus far of Steve Foss, Andy Prociw,

Duane Wamre, Jesse Urlacher, Mike Eichmiller, and Ken Hart.
We have the funds in place to renovate the final two cabins and will begin
that process this winter. If you are interested in volunteering, please call our Site Manager Bernie Kordonowy at 701-590-9227.
Future Projects:
T
hanks to the generosity of the St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church of Dickinson's Trust Fund, we have $25,000 pledged
towards capital improvement projects. We are working hard to raise an additional $45,000 so that we can begin building a
maintenance building as soon as possible. At this time, we have plans for other needed projects as well, but we are waiting for
funding. These include relocating our high ropes course next to the lodge ($27,500), building play ground equipment for children
($18,000), and possibly converting our tent platforms into seasonal cabins.
Work on these projects cannot begin until we have the money for them in advance, so fundraising efforts are underway. If you
are able to help fund any of these projects, please call Director Brent Seaks at 701-290-6973.

Recent Events Recap
Public Christ Hike: August 7th
The summer staff of 2013 did an excellent job of portraying Passion of Christ in our annual Public Christ hike. Nearly
20 people came out for the event to walk through the last week of Jesus' life on earth and to remember the forgiveness
we have been granted through the sacrifice of our Savior and Lord.
Family Day & Chuck Suchy Concert: August 11th
Starting on a Friday evening, four families came out for Family Weekend and had the opportunity to sing songs, play
games, worship, and roast s'mores. On Saturday, around 50 people gathered for a concert performance by Chuck
Suchy! Families, friends, and new friends tapped their toes to the wonderful folk artist's guitar picking and accordion
playing! The Mandan native charmed us all with his tunes and stories about life in North Dakota.
Confirmation Retreat: October 5th-6h
On a beautiful fall weekend, Confirmation
students from around the area came out to
the camp to dig deeper into the Ten
Commandments, play Gaga ball, worship,
and build faithful relationships with one
another. We are grateful for this awesome
crew as they helped the camp prepare for
winter by moving benches into storage and
picking up tree branches!
Fall Festival: October 19th
Pumpkin carving and pumpkin painting,
wagon rides, caramel apples, and fall
themed crafts were all a part of this
delightful afternoon. It was a blast
enjoying the sounds and smells of the
season!
Confirmation Youth
Holiday Crafting Retreat: Nov. 22nd-24th
The first signs of wintery snow and cold sure didn't
stop 15 creative ladies from completing their
projects! Like a crafting family reunion, they came
together to quilt, scrapbook, knit, crochet, eat
delicious food, and receive massages from the
ladies at Cedar Canyon Spa. It was a perfect
weekend for creative spirits to unite and faith filled
conversations to be had. It is a good thing events
like this happen three times a year! Look for
upcoming crafting retreats if this sounds like a
good time to you!
Holiday Baking Retreat: December 6th – 8th
Ladies came together this weekend to spend some
time in warm kitchens and in warm conversation. It
was a weekend full of baking holiday treats,
relaxation, good fun and great fellowship!

Advent-ure Retreat: December 7th
An energetic group of youth, 3rd through 6th grade, came out to
the camp to learn more about the season of Advent. They played
games, had a Bible Study, made ornaments, and went on an
Adventure Scavenger Hunt around camp. It was sure chilly, but
the journey to Bethlehem is ALWAYS worth it!

Christmas Choir and Hymn Sing: December 8th
Another successful, annual Christmas event! Choirs and
ensembles from the area shared a gift of music, and all

in the hymn sing. The afternoon of music was a great way to
prepare our hearts for the true reason of the season!

have spent some time the past three summers living at camp
and working as volunteers. We really appreciate their ongoing
support, hard work, and dedication to Badlands Ministries.
Might you consider sharing your gifts and talents with
us as well? We always could use an extra hand, and we have
many projects around the site where volunteer assistance is
needed. Please call us at 701-623-4332 if you would like more

adlands Ministries has a 12 person Board of Directors,
made up of volunteers from our member congregations.
Our board meets 6 times each year to take care of the
business of overseeing and managing the camp. In order to carry
our mission forward, we also rely on teams of volunteers willing
to serve to help us is six key areas: Financial Oversight, Fiscal
Development, Facilities, Program, Personnel & Board
Development, and Communication & Outreach. Each of these
ministry teams meets a few times a year to assist staff in
reaching the goals of the Strategic Plan.
We are always looking for new folks to serve on these
ministry teams and our board. Would you be willing to use your
gifts and serve? If so, please contact the camp office at 701623-4332. Don't be that guy in the Bible that buries his talent in
the dirt... Jesus does not speak too favorably about that guy.
A special thanks to Todd Otto and Rick Tabert of
Dickinson for just completing their second term on the
Badlands Ministries Board of Directors. They are both served
with great dedication and enthusiasm and will be missed. Our
new board members for 2014 include Roger Gartner of
Dickinson, retired Pastor Jerry Erickson of Amidon, and Angie
Shilman of Dickinson.
Support Badlands Ministries through Thrivent
Thrivent Choice Dollars and
Community Action Teams
I
n case you did not know, Thrivent Financial is a not-forprofit company that offers financial services to all people.
It is a big company that helps folks with their retirement
planning, insurance needs, and it also supports all kinds of
charitable institutions including Badlands Ministries.
We have been blessed to receive funding from Thrivent
Financial over the past several years through many different
programs. Last year, we received $17,000 from Thrivent
Financial, including $12,971 through the Thrivent Choice
Program. While we are greatly appreciative to Thrivent
Financial for providing people with options that will benefit
Badlands Ministries, the funding does not happen without you!
Right now, there are two programs available to
Thrivent members that can benefit Badlands Ministries:
Community Action Teams and Thrivent Choice Program.
Here's how to do it by phone:
1. Call 1-800-THRIVENT (1-800-847-4836) and
state "Thrivent Choice."
2. State Choice Dollars when prompted.
3. Press 1 to direct Choice Dollars.
4. Enter or speak your social security number or
Thrivent ID number.
5. Your call will then be transferred to an operator for
completion.
6.Our Organization Name is listed as:
“Badlands Ministries"
Here's how to do it online:
1. Log on to www.thrivent.com
2. Sign in with your username and password or
register for an account.
3. Once you have registered and signed in, select the
“Direct Choice Dollars” button for Thrivent
Choice in the right hand side.
4. In the middle of the next page, type in “Badlands
Ministries” in the “Organization Name” box, leave
“City” blank, and click search.
5. Next to our name (listed as Badlands Ministries),
click the “Direct Now” button. You will be able to
assign all or part of your choice dollars to the
camp.
6. Click the “submit” button and your Thrivent
Choice Dollars will be sent to Badlands Ministries.
Community Action Teams
As of now, our area is a trial area for new Community
Action Teams. Each year every Thrivent Member can apply online for funding for two community action projects. If approved,
Thrivent will send that member up to $250 to be used for that
project. This replaces the current model in which Thrivent area
chapters designate funds.
Badlands Ministries holds several work days, events,
and fund raisers that would qualify for such funds. If you are a
Thrivent Member and interested in requesting funds online to
help with one of these, please contact the camp.
Thrivent Choice Program
Thrivent Choice lets you recommend where some of
Thrivent 's charitable outreach funds go by directing Choice
Dollars. Eligible members are designated Choice Dollars,
based on insurance premiums, contract values, and Thrivent
Financial volunteer leadership. Choice Dollars can be directed
to qualifying organizations you prefer nationwide such as
Badlands Ministries or even your local congregation. Members
can no longer make a choice to automatically direct their Choice
Dollars to the same organization every year. Instead, members
must select where they want their Choice Dollars to go each and
every year. If no choice is selected, the Choice Dollars are lost.
Recurring Thrivent Dollar designation is no longer an
option. In order for Badlands Ministries to receive your
Thrivent Choice Dollars, you'll need to make the designation
each and every year. We'll help you remember to do so.
Thanks!
Please call the camp office at 701-623-4332 with any
questions. We are grateful for your support!
But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the
people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Messiah, the Christ the Lord. This will
be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest
heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favours!’ Luke 2:10-14

of these clubs to provide needed consistent
financial support for our ministry.
