Page 4 Spring 2015 Issue The Heritage Society of Lutherans Outdoors was established in 1987 as a way to encourage and recognize those individuals and families who choose to provide a legacy of ministry beyond their lifetime. Membership in the Heritage Society is for all who include Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota in their estate plan or through a planned gift. The gifts received from the planned gifts of Heritage Society members will be permanently invested and the earnings used to enhance the ministry and programs of Lutherans Outdoors for generations to come. You are invited to consider providing, through a planned or estate gift, a legacy that will far outlive you in its impact on the lives of children and families through the Christ-centered ministry of Lutherans Outdoors. Assistance with gift planning is available, at no cost or obligation, by contacting Karen at Lutherans Outdoors at 1-800-888-1464. lo endowment Makes a Huge Impact! Thanks to the foresight of our Heritage Society members, earnings and growth from the LO Endowment provided $36,175 in 2014 to enhance and support the ministry of Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota! By Keeping camp Fees as low as Possible The dollars provided by the LO Endowment help us keep our camp fees more affordable for children and their families. In fact, the LO Board voted to freeze camp fees for 2015! Income from the endowment makes that possible! By supplementing the campership Fund Do you have a will? Is it current, reflecting your present circumstances and wishes? It is important you have an up-to-date will because a will can accomplish so much for you, your heirs, and others. For example, a will provides a way to have all you possess distributed according to your wishes, not as the state determines through state law. In your will, you can and should make specific provisions for all that you have and for all whom you love. A will can also help save money through avoiding unnecessary expenses and through reducing state inheritance and federal estate taxes. And, a will is a wonderful way to help young and old alike have an inspiring Christian Outdoor Ministry experience through a bequest to Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota as well as to make provisions for your church or another charity. In 2014, LO gave out an unprecedented $77,634 in camperships to children, families, and those with special needs, ensuring no child is turned away from camp due to financial reasons. “Each year, we receive an increasing number of requests for camperships,” reports Karen Kraus, Development Director, “which we are happy to provide. We are so grateful to our generous donors, whose gifts make it possible to fulfill these requests!”. With $66,945 from our annual campership appeal and $10,689 from our endowment growth and earnings, we were able to fully fund these request. This meant…. .......youth from Pueblo de Dios went to confirmation camp at NeSoDak .......families from The Banquet and St. Francis House made lifelong memories at Joy Ranch Because we feel it is beneficial for everyone to have a will, and one that is up-to-date, we are making a FREE “Wills Guide” available. ........Pine Ridge youth participated in Outlaw Ranch youth camp This very readable folder will answer many of the questions you may have about wills and will aid you in fulfilling your wishes in regard to the distribution of your estate. .......Special needs families enjoyed a much-needed respite at “We Get It” Family Camp You can obtain your free copy of this helpful folder by sending the coupon below to: Karen Kraus, Lutherans Outdoors, 2001 S Summit Ave, Sioux Falls, SD 57197 1-800-888-1464 or [email protected] Remember this FREE Wills Guide will benefit both you and your heirs.

I can just imagine how my week would feel if all of my friends went to camp and I could not go because my family couldn’t afford to send me to camp. May God bless your family!” Madelyn By providing seminary scholarships The Courtney Walker Staff Enhancement Fund of the Lutherans Outdoors Endowment provides annual scholarships to current and former camp staff who go on to attend seminary. This year’s recipients, Wartburg Seminary students, Halcyon Bjornstad and Alyssa Weber, each received a $300 scholarship. This fund was created in memory of a wonderful young woman, Courtney Walker, who made an impact on all who knew her, including those whose lives she touched as a summer camp counselor at Outlaw Ranch. Halcyon says, “Working at LOSD gave me the chance to learn about ministry before seminary. My experience helped me to understand that I was being called to seminary. I am so grateful for the support from LOSD!” And from Alyssa, “I love studying theology and ministry and am eager to apply what I have learned to a ministry setting. I am grateful for the gift of LOSD which has been a major part of my life, being from South Dakota!” Page 5 Spring 2015 Issue The Outlook In-kind gifts Make a difference!

Living in God’s Time Letter from The Executive Director Dear Faithful Partners in Ministry, The Bible study theme for your camps in 2014 was, “Living in God’s Time”. This theme helped introduce our guests to the “seasons” of the church year (Advent, Christmas, Lent...), but it also did much more. It connected with people on a personal level that helped them see the presence of God in Christ with them in their lives regardless of the “seasons of life” they may be going through. This was really driven home to me this fall when a SD pastor shared this story...Upon finding out there was going to be a guest speaker in church that day, the pastor’s young grandson asked her what they were going to be taking about. When the answer didn’t quite satisfy him, he told her, “They should really talk about how we are living in God’s time”, and the elementary aged grandson proceeded to list off the seasons of the church year and how God connects with us during each of them. 2014 was a very busy year that saw us reach a 10 year record in summer camp attendance through onsite and day camp programs. This happened in large part because we took seriously the mandate that All Are Welcome, and we reached out to populations who might not have come to camp in the past, but whom desperately need to hear the Gospel message and to experience Christian community. In the midst of this, the trend of people signing up for camp later and later, and of coming to camp for shorter time periods continued. This is a part of the change we are experiencing, and we are addressing this. This is what prompted our first, “early bird registration discount”. Another trend we saw was the growing need for CAMPERSHIP dollars. In 2014 we gave away more than 3 times the amount of camp scholarship money than we did just 5 years ago. Yet, it really impacted the ability for people to have a camp experience. As we continue to reach out to our communities, I anticipate this trend continuing. To help address this, your camps have launched a major effort to grow the endowment. I am convinced this effort will have significant, long-term impact on outdoor ministry in SD (and on the Church as so many of today’s leaders continue to come out of your camps). Much of this endowment effort will happen as people remember their camps in their estate plans. I ask you to prayerfully consider this in your own families, as my wife Jennifer and I have. I am able to see the impact on ministry today that was made possible by the generous and faithful decisions of those who came before me. It has a life changing impact. The ministry that happens through the community formed at camp matters. Please keep the guests and staff in your prayers for a powerful year ahead in 2015. And hopefully you have seen people wearing “Living in God’s Time” t-shirts around your community. So I ask you, “What season are you experiencing today in your life...?” Whatever season it is, trust that God walks with you. See you at camp! Rev. Layne Nelson, Executive Director Page 7 Spring 2015 Issue Letter from The President Celebrate comes to mind as we look back on 2014 Celebrate that we welcomed over 4000 campers this year. A 10 year high! We commemorated and honored the Linskov’s and Arnold’s for their unflagging support and investment in our mission at Klein by holding our summer board meeting with them. Their generosity enabled us to begin the planning and execution of a kitchen update at Klein. We rejoice in the fact that we are finally beginning to make plans for staff housing improvements at NeSoDak. We celebrate our staff. Truly the best in the business. I get choked up every time I have an opportunity to witness their passion and enthusiasm. Our ministry is constantly evolving and each and every member of our staff strives to stay ahead of the curve. We thank the good Lord for their presence with us. The Outlook LO Serves nearly 19,000 People in 2014 In 2014, the camps and year-round retreat centers of LOSD served 18,660 people through summer programs and year-round retreats. This provides places and programs that enrich the lives of all campers, staff and guests. We are a place of peace, learning, extended family and a place where God is present in holy moments. It is our hope that you find in your heart and mind the Lutherans Outdoors has a place for YOU! All the cabin dwellers got to enjoy all the new cabin decks at Outlaw this summer. A grand addition to the majesty only the Black Hills can create. We rejoice that we are turning the corner financially. Increases in operating cost as Joy Ranch really had its first full year fully staffed along with other operational increases really presented a challenge. However, good fiscal management, a good plan moving forward and a very good year from all our supporters and investors we are now treading in the right direction once again. Oh yeah, I failed to mention there was some good old fashion prayer involve in our turnaround as well. Thank you Lord! We kicked into high gear our New Frontier Campaign to burn our mortgage at Joy Ranch and at the same time kick off our new $10 million Endowment Fund. We are well on our way to reaching those goals. We have raised $1.2 million of our $3 million retire the mortgage a campaign and raised $579,000 toward our Endowment Fund. Speaking of the Endowment campaign we formed a new re- energized and very dynamic Endowment committee. What a wonderful way to celebrate our families and our good fortunes by doing some deliberate thoughtful planned giving. What a legacy we can leave! Please give it some prayerful consideration. Finally, we can continue the celebration by signing up for Family camp. If you have not been in a while now is great time. I remember our last family camp experience. We took four generations with us, my mother in law, our kids and grand kids. It charged all of our batteries and brought us closer together as a family. I truly don’t know where else in the world we could go to do that. It will always remain as one of my finest memories.

Bob Scott, Board of Directors President, called the meeting to order at 9:30 AM. Throughout the meeting, brief video greetings from each LO camp were shared. Bob Scott, presented the minutes of the 2013 meeting. Motion to approve, seconded and passed. Rev Jared Rakness, Treasurer, presented the treasurer’s report. The report includes figures of the 2013 fiscal year which runs Feb 1st through January 30th. 2013 was a strong year in gifts received. 1900 acres of pasture land at Klein Ranch were sold with a permanent easement that will allow LO to continue to use the land during the summer, with no disruption of programming. The money from this sale is being used to pay off some internal debt, give a jump-start to the staff housing project at NeSoDak, Klein Ranch kitchen/dining update, and a $350,000 deposit was made to the endowment fund. The endowment fund has now reached $1.1 million. The registration cost of one camper is about $400/week while the actual cost is about $600/per person. Motion to approve the treasurer’s report, seconded and passed. Karen Kraus, LO Development Director, reported on gifts by individuals and corporations. The ‘New Frontier’ campaign has begun with the goal of raising $3 million. $800,000 in pledges have already been received to date. There was also an additional anonymous challenge gift to the LO Board of Directors of $50,000 which has already received $43,000 in pledges towards the housing project at NeSoDak and kitchen project at Klein Ranch. Bob Scott, President, gave a report. Recognition was given the LO Board members and their dedication to the ministry and support of all LO camps. Bob introduced Jody NiemannPriest, who shared her family’s connection to LO Riding for a Reason camp at Joy Ranch. Her moving story included the positive experience at Joy Ranch with her son, Wyatt, who has some frustrations with motor and speech. Her joyful experience included her whole family being able to share in watching Wyatt horseback riding which was a priceless gift to see Wyatt happy, successful, and engaged. Bob Scott continued pointing out that there are both challenges and opportunities in outdoor ministry. The LO Board and staff is driven to share Christ’s love in community and creation to reach those of all ages looking for guidance and belonging. LO is also building disciples to be set free through this powerful ministry. There are many who get their true call to seminary while experiencing camp. Rev Layne Nelson, Executive Director, gave a report. He thanked all who have been passionate in continuing the ministry of Lutherans Outdoors and thanked the LO staff for their efforts and dedication. Rev Dwight Stensgaard has now joined the LO team to work as the Development Associate – Campaign Director. A CD, “Songs we LOve” will be given to all of the congregations today to bring back and share with their community, with a url for a downloadable songbook. “No Matter What May Come, God will not let you Go,” will be the 2015 Bible study theme. The Board of Directors and staff were introduced and thanked for their commitment to camping ministry. Departing Board members, Margene Thompson, Jan Ambler, Rev Constanze Hagmaier, were thanked. New Board Members were welcomed: Christina Nath (Mitchell), Lucy Parker (Webster), Rev Dave Wildermuth (Yankton), Colleen Tucker (Madison) and Kayla Koterwski (Tea).
