Each week of every summer, campers of all ages experience the welcome of hospitality, the security of belonging, the love of Jesus in relationship, and the wonder of God’s living creation. Camp holds a recipe for bringing faith to life. It’s my personal favorite foretaste of the feast to come, a sneak peek of the Kingdom. By Pastor Jess Daum My own call to leadership in the Church has grown by way of seeds planted in me as an elementary school camper. Those seeds began to sprout and grow in my summers on camp staff. Now my call continues to be watered whenever I return to camp, whether I’m accompanying youth in their LO experience or surrounded by my own family soaking up a week of Family Camp. Pastors Jess and Trey Daum with their daughter at Outlaw Ranch camp. In the set apart world of camp, the Holy Spirit is unleashed in an unparalleled way to do her work of calling, gathering, and enlightening people of faith who are sent out for the sake of the world. The numbers tell the story: camp is one of the most cited reasons leaders in ministry name as responsible for their call to serve the Church. But a story tells the story better. Andrea was going into eighth grade. She was a smart, kind young woman, and it was at camp that she gained the courage to share with others that she was facing some giant struggles within herself. At camp she experienced safety that allowed her to be honest about her brokenness. She heard the promise of Jesus, spoken by a counselor who cared about her as a Child of God. She was surrounded by community, part of which would be there when she went home. The power of camp can transform. Our camps are faith spaces where all who step foot are on holy ground. They are catalysts of call, openings for honesty, and a beautiful sign of the Kingdom we proclaim. Thanks be to God for camp! 2016 Bible Study Theme Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.- Romans 12:2 How “IN THE WORLD” can God’s grace possibly be big enough for me or you or the people who are in the headlines? How “IN THE WORLD” could strength come through weakness? How “IN THE WORLD” can I even begin to make a difference in this messed up world? Here’s the deal - we may very well be IN the world, but we are not OF the world - we are “In It, Not Of It.” What does that mean? Well, it means that, through the cross, God has turned everything upside down. God brings light in darkness, fullness in emptiness, strength in weakness. Take everything the world says, and flip it over. Daily Themes for summer 2016: ORDER A SUMMER BROCHURE Call 800-888-1464 or go to www.losd.org.

Wish Lists Lutherans Outdoors Quilt Auction 1:00 PM, Sunday, October 16th Our Savior’s Lutheran Church 909 W 33rd Street Sioux Falls “It has been so fun holding the LO Quilt Auction at Joy Ranch during and after construction”, says Karen Kraus, Development Director. “The auction drew many first-time guests. But now buyers are telling us that they don’t have room for many more quilts! We are hoping that by moving to another community, we can raise new dollars for this great cause we all believe in - camping ministry!” Please tell your friends and neighbors to join us for this fun event! West River Clink for Camp Raises $14,870 for Outlaw Ranch “What a wonderful event!” “We learned so much about what is happening at Outlaw Ranch and Lutherans Outdoors!” “Don and Lisa Knudsen are the perfect hosts!” Outlaw Ranch held its first-ever “Clink for Camp” fundraiser this past September, hosted by Don and Lisa Knudsen at their beautiful home in Rapid City. Guests enjoyed music provided by Rev. Jeff Rohr, heard life-changing camp stories from Outlaw Ranch Director, Matt Rusch, and - the surprise of the evening - heard via live video from Knudsen’s son, Joshua. Josh is in his last year at Wartburg Seminary. He shared his faith journey, including the impact of working at Outlaw and Atlantic Mountain Ranches which he described as instrumental in his decision to become a pastor. It was a powerful tribute to the impact of Christian camping!

We are so grateful for this support! By Providing Camperships Earnings from the Lutherans Outdoors Endowment provided $15,717 in camperships to children, families, and people with special needs, ensuring everyone who wants to come to camp can come, even if they can’t afford the full fee. “Thank you so much for healping me go to camp. I’ve been having a great week learning about God’s love while having so much fun. I love the campfires at night. Thanks again!” - Jess By Keeping Camp Fees as Low as Possible The dollars provided by the LO Endowment help keep camp fees as low as possible for campers and their families. This year the endowment provided $41,568 to Joy Ranch, Outlaw Ranch, Klein Ranch, and NeSoDak. Twenty-one year old Tasneem Rutloff finds JOY each time she visits Joy Ranch. Tasneem, a cancer survivor who experiences seizures and ongoing short-term memory loss, awakens each day, even when she is at Joy Ranch, asking, “Mom, which doctor do I go to today?”. Her mom, Karie, says it is such a JOY to be able to tell her, ‘No doctors today, Tasneem, we just get to have FUN!”. “I thank the Lord for opportunities like Joy Ranch”, says Karie. “Watching Tasneem’s smiling face as she interacts with her camp counselor, hearing her laugh and giggle, it’s just wonderful how much laughing she does at camp.” Tasneem plans to return to Joy Ranch for the “Feel the Joy” Family Support 360 Conference in August, followed by “Vacation Destination” in October and December. “I take lots of pictures which we look at often”, explains Karie, “that way she gets so she remembers Joy Ranch and the activities she did there.” By Providing Seminary Scholarships The LO Endowment has two funds, the David C. Brunkow Fund and the Courtney Walker Fund, designated to provide seminary scholarships for LO staff. This year’s recipient is Teri Gayer, who serves a dual role as Klein Ranch Director (part-time) and as pastor for the parishes in Timber Lake and Isabel, South Dakota, while pursuing her seminary studies. Charitable Giving through Individual Retirement Accounts IRA Rollover Update: In 2015, Congress enacted a permanent extension of the IRA charitable rollover. As a result, individuals age 70½ or older can make gifts directly from their IRA to charity in 2015, 2016 and beyond. Are you age 70 ½ or older? Are you interested in making a gift to your favorite charity, while reducing your tax burden? If so, this information may benefit you! The American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) provides an opportunity for IRA owners, age 70 ½ and older, to make a charitable contribution up to $100,000 to a qualifying charity. If you are considering a major gift - $1,000, $10,000, or any amount up to $100,000 – an IRA Rollover gift may help you achieve your goal of helping a favorite charity while serving as a tax reduction strategy. The gift will help satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year. Your investment advisor or tax preparer can best advise you to be certain the gift you are considering meets the standards set by this law.

I am appreciative for the financial gift and the incredible support from the Board of Directors and the year round staff on this new adventure! As difficult as it was to leave camping ministry full time, I was thrilled to be able to continue with Lutherans Outdoors at Klein Ranch! I am loving the new combination of congregational & camping ministry as well as learning to be a student once again. I have been so blessed by Lutherans Outdoors in SD and the blessings continue. Thanks, again for the amazing partnership in ministry!” Page 5 Spring 2016 Issue The Outlook New Camp Directors are Cool Catches! This has been a year of great “catches” for new staff being added to the Lutherans Outdoors family, and 3 of the newest staff have one thing in common (in addition to being Lutheran and loving Camp!) – they are all avid fishermen and lake lovers! Dusty Rodiek (Joy Ranch Director), Jake Hanson (NeSoDak Director) and Paul Hanson (Director of Business and Operations) have brought many gifts to the table as they have started their roles in ministry, and we are excited to get even more of a taste as they continue in their positions. Northeast South Dakota is well known for their beautiful Glacial Lakes and beautiful recreation areas. We know we will see more and more of the beauty of the region featured with these leaders.

The ministry is committed to reaching individuals and families affected by disability with the love of Christ. NeSoDak on the road! This summer, NeSoDak is taking high school youth programs on the road and all of the programs are full. After the success of the LO trip to the Youth Gathering last summer, it is clear this is a need of the congregations and youth we partner in ministry with and to. The “On The Road” experiences include: High Adventures in the Rockies and the Boundary Waters, Servant Journeys to Duluth, Kansas City and Denver. They will even be taking trips for adults to the Boundary Waters. Spaces are still available for the adult trips. Register today! Page 7 Spring 2016 Issue The Outlook Outlaw Ranch to host Operation Purple Camp this Summer Outlaw Ranch What’s Operation Purple Camp, and why is it PURPLE? “At OPC, we offer military kids a FREE WEEK of camp where they connect with other kids, just like them. And purple happens to be the perfect mix of Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine Corps red, and Navy blue! In the military world, purple symbolizes all who serve, and at our Association, we know families serve, too! At Operation Purple Camp, being a military kid ROCKS and we celebrate by bringing together kids from all ranks and services, including National Guard and Reserve components. They bond through a unique and memorable “purple” summer camp experience, which includes everything from kayaking and hiking to rock climbing, and zip lining. The only thing better than that? S’MORES!” Grandpa’s School Bus at Klein Ranch Klein Ranch Rich and Janice Jasmer, from Leola, SD have for the last couple summers and are planning to again this summer, bring their team of Norwegian Fjord horses and Grandpa’s School Bus to Klein Ranch. Each week Rich and Janice trek out to Klein Ranch and hitch up the horses and take each riding group out on the prairie. Besides slowing down and enjoying the rolling plains by wagon, Rich and Janice also teach the campers, advisors and staff some of the fundamentals of what it takes to drive a team of horses. Having the Jasmers and their horses at Klein has been a great addition to the program, and we are looking forward to having them back again this summer! (We will also be adding this summer, a blacksmithing component to our summer program). Page 8 Spring 2016 Issue The Outlook 2015 Annual Report “Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota welcomes all to explore and experience Christ’s love in community and creation.” 2016 Annual Meeting Saturday, June 4th time to be determined During the SD Synod Assembly Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer Watertown, SD Meeting Agenda: • • • • • • • Opening Prayer Call to order Secretary’s Report Treasurer’s Report Campaign Report Board President Report Executive Director Report • Appreciation of off-going board members • Announcement of new board members • Closing Prayer Vision Statement: We are your first choice for dynamic and innovative Christcentered ministries: many sites, many seasons, many experiences. Letter from the Executive Director Dear Friends in Christ, February 1st brings the new fiscal year for your camps, and it is especially at this time that I am reminded of the SIGNIFICANT impact in ministry made by you, the owner congregations of Lutherans Outdoors. Your gifts, prayers, participation, and partnership in spreading the word ensure that we are able to live into our mission of welcoming all to explore and experience Christ’s love in community and creation. First, your partnership and generosity in 2015 allowed us to reach a 10-year high in summer camp and day camp participation, serving 4,586 youth and adults in these programs. Many of these 4,586 campers were able to have a camp experience because of the $93,000 made possible in camp scholarships. Holy cow! Second, Capital Campaigning... I am VERY happy to share with you that through some amazing gifts and pledges in 2015 we have met and exceeded the goal of our $3 million New Frontiers Campaign for construction and start up costs at Joy Ranch!! Thanks be to God!! Once all campaign pledges have been fulfilled, we will be able to move forward debt free at Joy Ranch. This allows us to now focus on to the second part of that campaign, growth in the endowment, to remove the next barrier to participation in this ministry Financial. To this end, the board has set endowment goal of $10 million, with a reach goal of $20 million. One thing for sure, TODAY is the day to invest in ensuring the future of your SD camps to grow leaders for the Church, empower young people in faith, and strengthen families through Christian community in God’s creation. Third, this is not to say we are not without some hurdles. As we look to 2016 and beyond it is not too hard to see that to keep providing quality ministry experiences, we will need to significantly grow our annual fund giving, reduce expenses, and perhaps increase camp fees (currently camp fees only cover about 1/3 the actual cost of camp). Annual gifts are vitally important in providing scholarships, keeping fees as low as possible, and enabling site improvements. Please know that the staff and board of your camps are working hard to address the ministry needs of the people we are called to serve and to secure these Christ-centered experiences for years to come. Through it all, lives are touched in the sharing of the Gospel, young leaders are trained for life in the church, congregations are equipped and inspired for the work of ministry, and we get to be a part of God’s work in the world. THANK YOU to all of you who have been partners with us, and who have helped share the impact of this ministry with so many! Together we look forward to what God will be doing through your camps in 2016! Please, remember us in your prayers. Sincerely, Rev Layne D. Nelson Executive Director Page 9 Spring 2016 Issue The Outlook Letter from The President WOW, what a year! It was only last year when we kicked off our New Frontiers campaign to retire our Joy Ranch debt. Thank you to the incredible generosity of so many who helped make this dream come true. Once we receive all the pledges, we can close this phase of the campaign. So after 11 years, the mortgage will be paid off, and as Dave Ramsey would say “we are debt FREE!” This past year we added a Business Manager, Paul Hanson, who has provided great support for Pastor Layne and camp directors. Paul will continue to provide leadership in the business end of Lutherans Outdoors and will be a great asset to both board and staff. Also, as you can all imagine in running four camps, we have a lot of projects and upkeep to continue keeping our camps nice and running efficiently. So you ask “What’s Next”? First, we are developing plans to upgrade our kitchen area at Klein Ranch. Secondly, we are developing plans for new staff housing at NeSoDak, after adding two new camper cabins. We would certainly also like Speaking of master plans, after completing Outlaw’s plan, we will now have new master plans for Outlaw, Joy, and NeSoDak. This will provide a roadmap for future planning and program development in a strategic, orderly and efficient fashion. I am very proud that we will have this to pass on to future leaders of this wonderful organization. I would like to also give a BIG THANK YOU to Karen Kraus who will be retiring later this year. Karen has been the face of our fundraising efforts and has been instrumental in raising millions of dollars during her 14 years with LO. I’m not sure where we would be today without Karen! I wrote last year about the new focus and energy we are placing in our Endowment Fund. There is no doubt that our future success lies with endowment gifts. We cannot charge campers the full cost, so the interest we receive on an annual basis from endowment gifts is going to be 2015 Annual Meeting Minutes May 30, 2015 •Calvary Lutheran Church • Rapid City SD Outlaw Ranch Camp Director, Matt Rusch, and Outlaw Ranch staff welcomed the assembly by singing two camp songs. Rev. Layne Nelson, Executive Director gave an opening prayer. Tom Kelley, Board of Directors President, called the meeting to order at 9:35 AM. Rev. Laura Overbo, Board of Directors Secretary, presented the minutes of the 2014 LO annual meeting. Motion to approve the minutes as presented, motion seconded and passed. Tom Kelley, presented the Treasurer’s report. The report included in the Outlook distributed at the assembly includes figures of the 2014 fiscal year which runs Feb 1st through January 30th. 2014 was a strong year in gifts received, LO is very appreciative of this needed support. There was a record summer in awarding camperships at $74,000.00. At this time, there is an anticipated budget shortfall of approximately $133,000 for the fiscal year. It is the third summer Joy Ranch has had guests, the operations are trending in the right direction with revenues & usage increasing. The New Frontier Capital Campaign has kicked off in hopes of raising $3 million to retire the debt of Joy Ranch. At this time, $1.3 million in pledges/donations have already been received. The LO endowment fund is currently at $1.4 million which shows a long term commitment to the future of LO. Motion to approve the treasurer’s report, motion seconded and passed. Tom Kelley, President, gave a president’s report. Abundant appreciation and thanks was extended to the many contributors to LO. There was a ten year high in summer camper numbers in 2014 with over 4,000 guests at LO camps. There have been over 18,000 visitors to LO camps this past year. Land at Klein Ranch was sold which enabled the dollars from that sale to be used towards long term debt retirement, increasing the endowment fund, and towards facility projects at both NeSoDak and Klein Ranch. The old “hunting lodge” at NeSoDak will hopefully be a focus in the next year to save that piece of 100 year history at the camp and make it more suitable for additional staff housing. There are two parcels of land at AMR that are still being evaluated. One parcel is in process of a land trade with the forest service (with Outlaw Ranch), while the other parcel may be sold at auction. Outlaw Ranch added decks to each cabin to create more opportunities for campers to enjoy the beauty of Black Hills nature. A newly formed LO Endowment Oversight Committee will meet regularly to add another layer of deliberate focus on long term sustainability of LO outdoor ministry through endowment funds and annual interest. LO year round staff and summer staff were thanked and recognized for their strong commitment and passion extended to all LO guests with such care and enthusiasm. Rev Layne Nelson, Executive Director, gave a report. He thanked all who have been involved in and shared what an honor it is to be a part of this powerful ministry that truly impacts lives. Recognition was given to Teri Gayer on her 23 years with LO. She is transitioning to the TEEM Program (Theological Education for Emerging Ministries) with the SD Synod and will continue as Camp Director for Klein Ranch. On June 14, 2015 there will be a special worship service in Teri’s honor at NeSoDak, all are invited. Jake Hanson will serve as the new NeSoDak Camp Director. Outdoor ministry changes just as the church changes. LO served 4,091 just in the summer months of 2014, serving others and sharing Christ’s love. Many of LO summer campers included families from our congregations, children and adults with special needs, and families from the Banquet and St. Francis House. There were 18,660 people at LO camps throughout the year visiting our unique places to share in Christian community. The bible study theme for 2015 is “No Matter What” based on Romans 8:39 that nothing will separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Rev. Dr. Anna Madsen, LO directors and the musicians of Tangled Blue worked collaboratively in creating a powerful and strong bible study for all ages. All congregations and leaders were thanked for their financial support and prayer support of LO throughout the year, it is truly appreciated. All are invited to share in the rest, relaxation and rejuvenation at any of the LO camps. The Board of Directors and staff were introduced and thanked for their commitment to outdoor ministry. Departing Board members, Howard Swenson and Jon Proehl, were thanked for their many years of service and dedication to LO. New Board Members were welcomed: returning Jan Ambler (Sheridan, WY) and Dennis Larson (Groton, SD). The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 AM and closed with a prayer by Rev Laura Overbo. Assembly break following the LO annual meeting was hosted by LO with homemade cookies and bars from Outlaw Ranch. Minutes recorded by Laura Eiesland critical to our future. to save the Log Cabin, which turns 100 years old this year. Next of course is Outlaw. We are developing a new master site plan, along with building five miles of hiking and biking trail. We also added archery to the list of adventures at Outlaw this year. Thanks again to all of our annual contributors and congregational gifts. Your dollars are being well invested. The future of Lutherans Outdoors and our future pastoral recruiting depends on your donations and the camper experience provided. Annual fund giving makes this happen. Finally, I would like to say thank you to Pastor Layne and his wonderful staff and to the board for the diligent passionate effort and support these last two years that I have served as your board president. It has been an honor and pleasure to serve you. An experience I will always treasure!
