Welcome
We gather each year not only to
do the business of the Association
but also to celebrate Luther Crest
and the work of Jesus Christ in this
world.
We gather to celebrate the ministry and the mission by recognizing
the work done by your Staff, your
Board, your volunteers, your
congregations and your families.
We will evaluate the past year and
look forward to the year to come.
We will sing praises and share in
appetizers and drinks in honor of a
job well done!
We will lift up the ministry of Luther
Crest and the thousands of people
who pass through this place each
year.
The Board of Directors and Staff
wish to thank you for your commitment to Luther Crest and the
support you give to your Outdoor
Ministry.
We look forward to celebrating with
you!
In Partnership with God
and with you,
David Holtz
Executive Director

2011 Financial Report
When I accepted the position of Treasurer I knew how challenging finances can be, particularly unknown revenue and
projected expenses.
2011 was an interesting year;
LCBC had budgeted for a deficit, and the end of fiscal year
was better than projected; as camper income was down due to
fewer campers, development income was up, Thrivent Choice
dollars was a pleasant surprise---over $20,000.00 in 9 months
and there was a $10,000.00 increase in congregational support.
Our Line Of Credit in the amount of $156,500.00 was paid
in full using Luther Crest West proceeds. We now can enter
Fiscal Year 2012 debt free!
In our Three Tier Pricing for campers of 809, 59% were eligible for tier pricing , 82% choose Tier One (regular pricing),
13% chosse Tier Two and 5% choose Tier Three---resulting
in $16,000.00 more in income. Like with our home or church
budgets, it becomes challenging to project revenue and expenses, but we were blessed in 2011 Fiscal Year!! Extremely
blessed! Thanks to you and many others who made this positive impact on LCBC.
Executive Director Dave and Paul, with the support of all
staff monitored income and expenses closely. Thanks be to
God for a terrific year!

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW REPORT
We have reviewed the accompanying statement of financial position of Luther Crest Bible Camp Association (a not-for-profit organization) as of August 31,
2011 and December 31, 2010 and the related statement of activities and cash flows for the eight months and year then ended. A review includes primarily
applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data and making inquiries of Organization management. A review is substantially less in scope
than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements.
Our responsibility is to conduct the review in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are no material modifications
that should be made to the financial statements. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our report.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our review was made for the purpose of expressing a conclusion that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in
order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The information included in the accompanying Schedule of Activities before Depreciation, Investment Income, and Interest Expense is presented only for purposes of additional analysis and has
been subjected to the inquiry and analytical procedures applied in the review of the basic financial statements, and we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made thereto.

President’s Report
It feels as though I just completed a letter for the annual report. But then I remembered that this “year” was a short one.
We are experiencing our first Fall Harvest Festival that includes our annual meeting. It feels good to be celebrating
the year at the end of summer camping season as we again celebrate another time of Christ-centered ministry at Luther
Crest. Our Christ-centered vision guides and helps us make tough decisions with prayerful consideration and steps of
faith. We continue to see His actions in the life of Luther Crest.
Thank you to Dave Holtz and his family for their dedication to our ministry. As Executive Director, Dave continues to
share outstanding leadership, enthusiasm, excitement and vision for the camp and the Board of Directors. I encourage
you to talk with Dave and invite him to your congregation. See if you don’t come away more energized and excited
about the ministry at Luther Crest. His presence throughout the state continues to impact the ministry here. Thanks,
Dave!
Our year-round and summer staffs also represent the Christ-centered community of Luther Crest to many individuals on and off our site. The staff helps
ensure visitors feel welcomed, well-fed and cared for as they experience a
Christ-centered community in God’s unique creation. Thank you to each of
you for being a blessing to all those who spend time here at Luther Crest.
But we also remember that Luther Crest is you. Your gifts of time and dollars to Luther Crest ensure that a ministry happens here. Your continued gifts
of time and dollars to Luther Crest have been a blessing to our continued
ministry. Like you, we still have areas where we need to keep working to
improve. And we do that with the vision, time and dollar gifts from so many
of you and your congregations. Thank you!
Our fiscal year is unique this time around. This fiscal year represents a
January 1 to August 31 fiscal year. As we move to a fiscal year of September
1 through August 31, we look forward to continued Fall Harvest Festivals in
the glorious colors of the fall season.

The Board of Directors has worked hard to be good stewards of your gifts
of time and dollars. With the sale of Luther Crest West this spring, we made
some financial decisions that were unique and exciting for this board. But our decisions were made with a focus on
Christ-centered ministry today with thoughts of planning for the future. We will be presenting some exciting ideas for
Luther Crest at our Annual Meeting. As we move forward into our new year, we take seriously our position of representing you and your congregations and our calling and commitment to the Christ-centered ministry as we share Christ
through His creation and community at Luther Crest. Please continue to keep Luther Crest and the Board of Directors
in your prayers.
Thank you and Blessings,

Property Report
The Luther Crest Property Committee would like to thank Dale Anderson for his care and
knowledge of Luther Crest’s property. We are grateful for his work and years of service.
Thank you, Dale.
Luther Crest has a number of needs and wishes for the upcoming year…
• Each of the cabins need attention both inside and outside
• The Dining Hall roof is beginning to leak. We are thankful that the Luther Crest West proceeds will help with this project
• Waterfront is being addressed this fall, along with a new Challenge Course
• We continue to see increases in energy costs and energy usage at camp
• Our sign at the road should be evaluated and potentially changed this comin
year
• We are thankful that this is the last year of road construction in our area
• Water management in the parking lot, the theater, in the office and ARC, the
dining hall and the road down to the beach will need to be addressed
• Bunk beds in cabins 4, 6, and 7 need to be upgraded due to State of Minnesota
Statutes.
• Mattresses throughout camp should be addressed. Most of the mattresses are
very old and don’t provide a comfortable night’s sleep for some of our guests.
Project highlights that were accomplished…
• Regrading north road to waterfront after each rain storm
• Built a balcony in the Chapel for sound and light controls
• Water heater was replaced in the ARC
Endowment Fund
The Luther Crest Endowment Fund was established for the purpose of supporting Luther
Crest’s camper scholarship fund and the work of our summer staff. This fund has been
held solely with the Lutheran Community Foundation.
This year, the committee has decided to present an official position for our endowment to diversify its investment vehicle and to give special direction in how the dollars
of the fund are disbursed. We are proposing specific change to our Endowment Fund By
Laws at this meeting.
This year Luther Crest distributed 4.25% of the funds value for scholarships to
help cover $12,000 in camper support was given out in 2011.
The Endowment Committee is planning on specific promotions this upcoming
fall and spring to lift up the work of the Endowment Fund. We are seeking individuals
and families to name Luther Crest in their will or estate plan. It is a simple way to give
beyond your life and for you to leave a legacy and commitment to the future campers of
Luther Crest. If you are interested in doing this, please visit with Dave Holtz, our Executive Director.
The Association has invested in the following fixed interest investments

Governance Report
The Governance Committee has covered quite a few topics in the last seven months. Here are a few topics that we feel are important enough to bring forward to the annual meeting:
One topic that was discussed at length is a camp volunteer policy. It is our duty to ourselves, our constituents, and our insurance company that ensure that our volunteers have sufficient background checks. There was much discussion to define what a
volunteer is and does. Many who do come to volunteer at Luther Crest have had background checks as required by their places
of employment. For those volunteers that haven’t had background checks, one can easily be obtained for about $9.95.
Another topic that we are in constant discernment about is Board Development. We want to make sure that the Luther Crest
Board is as up to date on what its role is and how it relates to the role of the Executive Director. Education is very vital for all
Board members, and books non-profit board report newsletters have been our tools to educate this year. We need to continue to
keep our Board up to date on the latest and greatest cutting edge materials. There are two sources that we are looking at using
for this next year.
Pets! We recently discussed our policy of not allowing pets at Luther Crest. We can understand people wanting to have their
pets with them to experience the awesome place Luther Crest is, but in the end we definitely support the policy. Having pets at
camp brings up a lot more issues (allergies, frightened children), than not having pets at camp.
So as you can see there isn’t a more exciting committee than the Governance Committee (can you imagine the topics that I
didn’t mention in this report?) In all seriousness, we believe in our Board, our Executive Director, and the staff at Luther Crest.
We are excited to begin another fiscal year in concert with them. We hope to have a productive year supporting the well being
of Luther Crest!!
Respectfully Submitted,
Rick Larson
Governance Committee Chair
Strategic Initiative
Luther Crest West
The Strategic Initiative Taskforce has been working diligently
since February on identifying strategic needs for Luther Crest
in how we serve our Association and our guests. In order to
do this we engaged GSB Fundraising, Orb Management and
JLG Architecture both of Alexandria to guide us through the
process and developed Luther Crest Vision 20/20. We identified four key areas of focus.
Luther Crest West’s long history of outdoor ministry will go
down in history as a place which provided space for Jesus’
love and grace to be given and received by hundreds. From
1991 to 2008, Luther Crest West provided space for kids to be
kids and parents to be at peace that their child was having an
experience of a lifetime.
First, Luther Crest needs to be a part of the formative years of faith development in children still today.
Second, Adults and families need special space for
family and adult faith development.
Third, a congregation’s health is dependent on a
relationship with Luther Crest and our ability to assist
in faith development.
Fourth, Luther Crest needs to address three key areas on the site including sleeping areas, dining and the care of our property.
Accomplishing these tasks will assure Luther Crest’s future
to be an active part of the Alexandria area community and a
mountain top experience for our Association congregations on
a year round basis. For more information visit
www.luthercrestvision2020.com.
We will always remember Luther Crest West in our ministry
for it was a special gift to Luther Crest by Elroy Stock. Praise
God for God’s work with us at Luther Crest, for we are thankful and grateful for the opportunity to care for Luther Crest
West.
Luther Crest West was sold for $300,000. Since July, the
Luther Crest Board of Directors has identified and funded
a number of projects within the organization. Here are the
projects…
1. Line of Credit at $156,500
2. Emergency Fund $20,000
3. Luther Crest West Preparations $7,551
4. Waterfront Fund $25,000
5. Dining Hall Roof up to $25,000
6. Endowment Fund at $10,000
The proceeds that are left are roughly $33,000 as of
September 1, 2011.

Program Report
Luther Crest Bible Camp Program Committee Overview - January – September 2011
We are in the spirit of making things happen through the Program Committee. We have met twice since the last annual meeting
of the Luther Crest Association. We also communicated through e-mail in between scheduled Program meetings. These meetings at Luther Crest included the following:
1. We evaluated the 2010 Summer Program and Retreats.
2. We confirmed the weekly Summer 2012 schedule and reviewed the different camp options. We brought back 4-6 Grade Fishing Camp and 7-10 Grade Volleyball Camp. We added “All American” Family Camp Week
during the 4th of July Week, and Dance Camp. These decisions were largely based on responses and requests
from 2011 Campers and Parents, as well as Staff recommendations. We will continue to discuss new camp programs for activities such as Cross Country, Wrestling, Gardening or Cooking for future summers.
3. We confirmed the 2012 Summer Theme and Verse and are still working on the daily Bible verses and themes for the week. “CENTER OF THE WHEEL” will be the Summer 2012 theme. This theme will focus on the HOPE
we find when we have Jesus as the center of our wheel of life. It will specifically address the question: “Where do
we find hope in a world filled with fear?” This process will now be passed along to the Program Staff to create the
overall 2012 Daily Bible Themes and Bible Studies.
4. We will continue visioning about Programmed retreats and trips for Luther Crest.
Our next scheduled meeting is October 6, 2011 at Luther Crest. We will be analyzing the 2011 Summer Parent and Camper
evaluations and continuing to look into 2012 ministry opportunities. Visioning for the future is one of the main purposes of this
committee, and we will start looking at the ministry opportunities for 2013. If you would like to be a part of the Program
Committee, contact Jody Johnson, [email protected] Thank you for your support of Luther Crest Bible Camp!
Peace,
Respectfully Submitted

Executive’s Report
Dear Friends in Christ and Partners in Ministry!
This short 8 months of Luther Crest has been a whirlwind of incredible experiences and great movements towards our future. I would like to thank our Board of Directors for their support, to our staff for their work in this place
and to all of you who are part of our family because of your time, and your prayerful and financial support.
Beginning in April, Luther Crest engaged in an intentional partnership with Pilgrim Point Bible Camp to provide
two keys areas of service, Maintenance & Grounds care and waterfront program management. I am thankful for this
partnership for it brought Luther Crest and Pilgrim Point closer and allowed us to share our wealth of experience with
them. Pilgrim Point Bible Camp is the UCC’s camp in Minnesota located over on Lake Ida, just west of Luther Crest.
It has been a privilege to work with our Strategic Initiative Taskforce. Jen Jabas, Steve Hippe, Craig Risnes,
Tom Wacholtz, Rob Barse, Dan Miller, Paul Hanson, Jody Johnson and Josh Kehrwald have been our members charged
with the goal to develop a potential plan for the future of Luther Crest over the next 30 years. Through careful conversation, brainstorming and evaluation, they have developed the Luther Crest Vision 20/20.
The next step of this plan is to share it with you, our friends, congregations and donors. We would love to line
up a time to share this and to have your input. You can go online to www.luthercrestvision2020.com at your convenience to view the plan and to share your input. Otherwise, connect with Dave Holtz to get a town meeting scheduled in
your area today.
Along with a number of new summer programs that were offered this summer, Luther Crest has developed a
partnership program in the area of Youth and Family Ministries. Our Ministry Associate program has been in development over the last couple of years to provide congregations part time support in youth and family ministries. Our current
team of Katie Eul, Sam Curwick, Anders Meier and Brian Weyer are ready and good to go with this new program. We
are excited for this adventure and look forward to the future of Ministry Associates serving Luther Crest and our congregations.
Finally, this year’s Ministry Plan, both programmatically and financially depends on you as congregations and
individuals to help accomplish it. Your gifts of time and dollars, your ability to invite and encourage the young and old
to participate, and for you yourself to participate will help Luther Crest succeed but also will further the kingdom of God
and his work in this world through us.
Simply, we, the hands of God, can move this place with God’s help so that kids, young and old, can experience
God through the people and the place of Luther Crest this year!
God’s Peace,
Luther Crest Staff

P- In Holy Baptism our Lord Jesus Christ liberated you from sin and death and made you members of his Church. Through Word
and Sacrament you have been nurtured in faith. I ask you together with all who are here gathered, to confess the faith of the
Church, the faith in which we are baptized.
APOSTLE’S CREED
All: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son our Lord, he
was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died
and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again and ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of
the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints and the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting, Amen.
1 Corinthians 12:4-7 and 1 Peter 4:8-11

given to all who are baptized? Will you accept the duties and responsibilities as Luther Crest Bible Camp Association delegates to

MIDDLE OF THE WHEEL
Where do we find HOPE in a BROKEN World? The 2012 Summer Theme, “Middle of the Wheel” will
focus on this question. Through our daily themes, we will learn to keep Christ, who is our hope
through uncertainty and fear, and our light in the darkness, as the center of our lives.
