Board of Directors’ Report
Dear Friends in Christ,
Grace to you – and peace, from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
In representing the board of directors of GLLM in this report, I want to begin by saying a word of thanks
to all the staff, volunteers, campers/retreaters, donors and guests who have been involved and/or
supportive of one or more of our three camps this past year. (I especially thank staff members and
members of the board of directors and other volunteers who are no longer with us and have gone on to
serve God in other capacities – your efforts have been extremely helpful!) It is only because of God's
Grace and because of this support that we are gearing up for this next year of life-changing ministry at
GLLM during 2015! So, thank you!!
The message of growth we aim for leads us to say, again this year, if we hope to build on the work that we
can reflect back upon in the rich history of these 3 camps, we are going to need even more help from you
who are still with us. We need your prayers. We need your monetary donations - in generous
supply! We need you to join us and to invite others to do the same by coming to our year-round camping
and retreat opportunities available for people of all ages.
For us to deliver on our mission “Presenting the Life Changing Love of Jesus in the vibrant setting of
camps and retreats”, we need your help. We need all the people that you can send – kids and adults during the summer and throughout the year – for camping and/or for retreating. The benefit of having
more people come to camp is that all those who attend help us to fund this ministry and even more
importantly, we get to watch the Holy Spirit present the life-changing love of Jesus Christ to these people,
thus accomplishing our mission – our reason for being!
I am quite convinced that we can be successful in the coming years – as we intend to do so - if we keep
doing the things that have worked well in the recent past and if we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us forth in
new and surprising ventures of camping/retreat ministry. I am also confident that God will bless our
efforts to try new ways to proclaim the old, old story of Jesus and his love!
Specifically, as a board, we welcome Loren Teig as our new Executive Director. His passion for outdoor
ministry and his wealth of experience in the “camping world” is invaluable. We are very excited for the
energy he is bringing to GLLM as we start out 2015. God will do great things through the work that is
before us!!
My hope and urgent appeal to you is that you will support this work that God is doing through
GLLM. We need the financial gifts that you can give that will allow us to fully fund the vision God is
revealing to us in terms of our future direction for this ministry. (I’m sorry to put so much emphasis on
the monetary matters – it’s just a reality we are committed to keeping before us in order to be fiscally
responsible as a board. In fact, we hope to help you experience great joy in your giving to GLLM J )
The challenges ahead of us are big. Our God is bigger and our hope is growing.
Thank you again – from the depth of my heart – for the support you have already given. We are
extremely grateful. We cannot do this vital work without you!
In Christ,
Pastor Scott Jakel (co-chair of GLLM board of directors
during 2014)
In Christ,

Executive Director’s Report
Grace and peace to you this day.
It is a real joy to be working for Green Lake Lutheran Ministries. It was
not in my plans a year ago as I was finishing 38 years as Director of
Lake Wapogaset Lutheran Bible Camp. I wasn’t planning on retiring
but I wasn’t planning on moving either. But after much thought, prayer
and conversation the opportunity to serve here became a reality. I am
looking forward to fulfilling God’s call for me to serve here. Thank you
for the opportunity!
I have some observations I would like to share with you. First of all you
have a great history! You have much to celebrate. Second, you have a
great staff that have a great love and passion for this ministry. Third, we
have much to look forward to as the need is great and the opportunities
are even greater. Fourth, the GLLM congregations have a great loyalty
to camp and are our strength.
There are two areas of immediate attention that we have to address. We need to stabilize our financial
situation. We have had deficit operating costs for a few years and we need that to get under control. We
have hired Sara Larsen Woodruff to be our Development Director. She has a long history with GLLM
and we are excited to have her help us raise more support. Secondly, we need to increase the number of
people making use of all three sites. Retreats and summer programs need to grow. We are hopeful to
grow this area in 2015 and get an early start on 2016. We covet your prayers, ideas, and participation.
Looking forward to partnering with you in this great ministry.

Congregational Engagement & Camp House Report
Camp has always been a place where one wears many hats. That’s certainly been my experience over the
years of working at Green Lake Bible Camp and Green Lake Lutheran Ministries. Perhaps that’s been
one of camp’s allures, having a wide variety of opportunities for ones skills and abilities. There always
seems to be a new opportunity, a new relationship or a new experience to enjoy. Like they say, “Never a
dull moment”, and that’s most certainly true!
As GLLM begins a new chapter, with a new leader, roles change for the
other staff as well. Some familiar responsibilities may return. Some new
responsibilities may be required. That has been my experience this year.
In addition to continuing as one of the primary promotional persons of the
camp, I’ve also reengaged with the program department where I’ve been
part of a dynamic team of people planning, designing, writing and implementing our numerous programmatic offerings throughout the year. It’s
been gratifying to be more involved with the program again. When I first
started at camp 35 years ago, I started in the program department and it
feels a bit like coming home. It’s especially nice to have a number of other
talented and passionate colleagues to work with. Doing things as a team
makes us all more creative and more effective.
Programmatically, my primary responsibility has been to run Camp House
where I live for much of the summer. It’s been my responsibility and goal
to try and grow our numbers at Camp the past 2 years and to continue that
growth in 2015. I’m happy to say that is happening. We nearly doubled our numbers of summer campers and guests last year and we’re looking forward to adding even more this summer.
Camp House has proved to be an especially effective ministry site for confirmation groups, sr. hi. youth,
families and adults. Its unique location gives easy access to many of the North Shore’s favorite destinations. Couple that with the rustic beauty of the camp and Minnesota’s beautiful north woods, and you’ve
got a powerful combination of elements that can lead campers into a deeper living faith with Jesus.
Many of our summer weeks are already booked and we’re looking forward to keeping the camp open
through September this year to host several fall retreats, among them, a fall colors retreat on the North
Shore.
My other main area of responsibility continues to be church and community relations. Again, our program team is proving to be a valuable tool for this area as well by providing additional staff who are available to make promotional visits, provide a camp presence at conference and synod events and assist congregations with program needs, Sunday school presentations and pulpit supply. In fact, we are on target to
make more congregational and personal contacts this year than any year in the camp’s history! Keeping in
close contact with the constituency is certainly key in doing effective ministry with and for them.
There is a new enthusiasm in the air; we can feel it. We look forward to harnessing that enthusiasm and
welcoming more campers and guests in the year ahead.

Programs Report
Summer 2014 was certainly a Road Trip for Green Lake Lutheran Ministries. Featuring an in-house written
Bible Study, new positions, and a Christ Hike, God certainly was moving here and we look forward to the
MARVELous things to come in 2015.
Campers that visited any of our three sites last summer were given a
chance to experience Jesus Christ in a way they have never before.
Our theme, Road Trip, helped campers to recognize that, no
matter where they go in their lives, they will always be on a Road
Trip with Jesus. To supplement our summer’s Bible Studies, we
also introduced a Christ Hike to our weekly programming. This
activity provided an opportunity for campers to experience Christ’s
life on earth using all of their senses. The Christ Hike was open to
the community, and was spoken highly of by youth, adults, and
pastors alike.
Green Lake Lutheran Ministries greatly benefited from some additional summer staff positions including the
Worship and Community Leaders (WaCL) and Media Interns. The WaCLs were responsible for providing
meaningful worship during our summer programming, and were the contact person for visiting pastors and
church leaders. The Media Interns worked alongside our full time Media and Communications staff to
document the summer through video productions, provide daily updates on our camp Facebook page, and
create worship projections. Each of these new positions proved to be a noticeable improvement to those
involved in the 2014 summer camp season.
In 2014 we suspended our Day Camp program to focus on our onsite programs
and give them the attention they deserved. During the year off, we spent time
reimaging how to run the program and, because of its high demand, are
reinstating it new and improved for the 2015 summer season. We are offering
Day Camp for two weeks: July 5-10 and August 2-7. During these weeks, we will
not offer onsite programming, allowing us to create and send the highest quality
Day Camp teams.
The vision for future programming is to focus on congregational ministry. We
want to serve you. We are developing ways to adjust every aspect of camp to
serve your congregations. We are taking a close look at everything from our
registration process to our summer programs to ensure that when campers leave,
they feel more connected to their church congregation.
Thank you for letting us be an extension of your congregation’s
ministry.

Property & Facilities Report
This year’s theme is “GOD DOES MARVELOUS THINGS” and to that, I would say indeed he does.
To witness how God sends these precious people that are willing to give up their summers, pack up their
stuff and move to camp to share and celebrate God’s love, is truly a joy. Then to witness the way kids’
lives are changed as they open up to one another and open there hearts to
God. Learning about faith and exploring in a beautiful and safe
environment. How can you say anything but, God is marvelous!
In the area of maintenance and facility management, we have focused on
preserving and maintaining the sites we have been given. Hopefully while
enhancing and improving the experience for guests.
At Camp House, we finished the remodel of the bathhouse. Thank you to
the many volunteers who have helped with that project, as well as, other
project like painting, the repairing of some of our steps and the addition of
fence corners to help define and protect our septic area from heavy
equipment traffic.
At Shores of St. Andrew, we continued the painting theme, as well as,
worked on our waterfront, repairing some equipment and adding more
buoys to our swim area for improved camper safety. More noticeably as part of repairs from last year’s
storms, we re-shingled all shingled buildings and replaced the rubber roof on one of the staff cabins. We
updated all our chairs in the Village Lodge as well as added Wi-Fi to that building. Marble Church was
also shingled and painted.
At Green Lake, we moved our summer canteen back across the road and into our registration building.
We preformed some needed upkeep to buildings and trails, as well as, finished some projects like
replacing gutter removed with the previous year’s shingling of the Chrysalis building. This fall with the help
of a grant, we started work on the paving of the Chapel’s main parking lot. This is something I believe
most of our guests would say is long overdue. The time of the year and type of sub soil made it impossible
to finish this project last year but it’s scheduled to be finished later this spring or early summer.
As we look forward to the 2015 camping season, we continue to keep our focus on maintaining what we
have, while improving the safety and quality of our guests stay. If you are
interested in helping us in our mission, there are plenty of ways to help
support this ministry. Whether it be financially, through volunteering,
using our sites or through prayer. All are welcome and needed. Thank
you once again for continued support.
Sincerely,
Jim Kingman
Director of Property and Facilities
