News for the Friends of Lutherans Outdoors in SD Keep the Campfires Burning Appeal A Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic

Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota looks to the coming year with hopeful anticipation of once again providing life-changing ministry experiences at our beloved camps and around the campfire in 2021. While we actively plan unique and memorable summer camp experiences with added health and safety precautions, we also live in the reality of the continued global pandemic. The decision made out of care for our guests and campers to close the camps in 2020 yielded significant financial ramifications for the Lutherans Outdoors organization. This closure of facilities and programs led to a subsequent loss of $2.1 million in registration and fee income for the organization over the course of the past year and projected losses navigating into the new year. The good news is that, as of April 1st, more than $900,000 has been contributed to support the ministry. Lutherans Outdoors has been blessed by the generous contributions of individuals, families, and congregations. But a great challenge lays ahead. In order to address the financial losses of 2020 and the projected financial losses of 2021, Lutherans Outdoors is launching the Keep the Campfires Burning Appeal to raise the nearly $1.2 million remaining dollars needed to ensure the camping ministry of Lutherans Outdoors for years in the future. In order to reach this goal, we need your support. This collective, grassroots effort to raise critical dollars for the organization will provide Lutherans Outdoors with the financial resources to keep the campfires burning for many summers to come. Over the course of 2021, we ask you to consider pledging and giving a gift in support of this campaign. Whether it be a pledge over 3, 6, or 12 months or an immediate gift, your support is greatly appreciated. Together, we will ensure this life-changing ministry! For more information regarding this campaign, please contact Jake Hanson, Development Director, at jake@losd.org. Visit our campaign website at losd.org/donate.

THE DIRECTOR’S PERSPECTIVE The ground ball hit to me during my last baseball game before college was right at me and it ended up bouncing off of me. Luckily, I was able to scoop it up, throw it to first base for the final out, and the Legion team from Austin, Minnesota, was heading to the state tournament! I then had a problem—and the only way to solve that problem was to make a tough decision. Also happening the next morning was the bus going to the ELCA Youth Gathering in San Antonio. Do I get on the bus or do I stay to play in the tournament? The accompanying quote was shared with me a few years back and it comes into play quite often in my life. And I feel it came into play for the Board and staff of Lutherans Outdoors during 2020 and the start of 2021. A tough decision was made in April, 2020, to not have camp last summer. A tough decision was made in late 2020 to begin the Keep the Campfires Burning Appeal to help with the large loss of revenue as the camps have been closed for many months. You can read about this in the above article. A tough decision was made to begin the transfer of Joy Ranch ownership to a new non-profit organization in Watertown (see page 3 for details). Three tough decisions were needed for safety and for financial stability for Lutherans Outdoors. With a successful Appeal and the transfer of Joy Ranch, along with camp program happening again starting this summer, we can look forward to the reimagining of Lutherans Outdoors post-Covid pandemic. A reimagining of program---current and new. A reimagining of what our camps look like structure-wise, based on the reimagined programs. And a reimagining of what the correct staffing will be that enables our reimagined programs to be bold and successful. An exciting future is in store for Lutherans Outdoors. A future that ensures life-giving experiences in God’s love for all those participating. I look forward to reimagining together. Be Good, Paul Hanson, Executive Director

“Again and again we see the impossible problem is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made.”- Robert Schuller

P.S. I got on the bus at 6 am the following morning heading to Texas and have never regretted that tough decision.

WELCOME, VICKI FOSS! Lutherans Outdoors welcomes Vicki Foss in the role of Camp Director at NeSoDak. She began her role at NeSoDak on March 1. Vicki and her three wonderful dogs come to Lake Enemy Swim from Brainerd, Minnesota. Her most recent work was as the Manager for Camp Vanasek, a non-profit camp near Brainerd which partners with the local YMCA, and also served as the Executive Director for the Paul Bunyan Northland Arboretum. Vicki brings to her role 20+ years of Youth and Family Ministry experience in congregations in Brainerd and Pine City, Minnesota. Vicki is excited about getting to know the LO ministry and NeSoDak as well as preparing for her first summer on the peninsula. We are proud to have her join the LO family!

WELCOME, SHANNON PULSCHER! Outlaw Ranch is excited to announce Shannon Pulcher as our Facility Manager.

A contractor in Flandreau since 1994, Shannon brings a wealth of construction knowledge and experience. He and his wife Jean have three children, Jaycie (20), Colton (18) and Kylee (14). Please join us in welcoming Shannon to the Outlaw Ranch and Lutherans Outdoors family.

Please join us in welcoming Kathy to her new role in the Outlaw Ranch and Lutherans Outdoors family. 2

AN UPDATE ON JOY RANCH The Lutherans Outdoors Board, after much consideration and deliberation, has determined that Joy Ranch, a beautiful site with many amenities, does not fit our operational model of seasonal outdoor camping ministries. As a result, Lutherans Outdoors has entered into a Transfer Agreement with a new 501(c)3 organization in Watertown, subject to contingencies. A Watertown-based organization will be better positioned to operate Joy Ranch into the future and create and deliver the programming that will make it successful. Lutherans Outdoors will now be able to invest its resources into NeSoDak, Outlaw Ranch, and Klein Ranch and ensure successful Christ-centered ministry for future generations. “Over the years the market for church camps has continued to change, making it more challenging for Lutherans Outdoors to maintain and operate multiple camp settings. Three of our camps have defined summer seasons, which can be staffed accordingly, with shoulder seasons in spring and fall for church groups and family retreats. Joy Ranch, however, has more investment in infrastructure which requires it to operate year-round in order to be successful. This is significantly different than our model for NeSoDak, Klein Ranch, and Outlaw Ranch, making it more difficult to fit into our portfolio of camp offerings. Given our need to be good stewards of limited resources, we believe it best to seek another entity to operate Joy Ranch that can more broadly define its program offerings and make it successful and sustainable into the future.” -Lutherans Outdoors Joy Ranch Task Force Lutherans Outdoors is proud to have been a partner with Joy Nelson and her generous vision for this beautiful property that increases the quality of life for all who gather. Lutherans Outdoors thanks the thousands of supporters who have participated in the development of Joy Ranch. With these changes, Lutherans Outdoors is confident that Joy Ranch will be successful into the future and will faithfully honor its many supporters. “Joy Nelson, representing Joy Ranch of South Dakota, wishes to thank Lutherans Outdoors for their years of work in the start-up of Joy Ranch and wish them much success with their other existing camps. Joy Ranch of South Dakota wants to assure all the visitors, participants, and donors of Joy Ranch that the mission as initially presented will most definitely continue with the new entity in addition to even more programs for quality of life issues for people. We sincerely hope you will continue to come to Joy Ranch and Lutherans Outdoors has expressed an interest in continuing some of their camps at Joy Ranch with the new entity. Upon transfer, Joy Ranch of South Dakota will be provided with the contact info for all of you and you will all be hearing from us at that time about the new exciting future for Joy Ranch of South Dakota. Our motto will continue as well to everyone “All Are Welcome”. We look forward to seeing you there.” -Joy Nelson The net proceeds from the transfer of Joy Ranch will be used by Lutherans Outdoors to further support the ministries of NeSoDak, Klein Ranch and Outlaw Ranch.

ADOPT-A-HORSE AT KLEIN RANCH Support the ministry of Klein Ranch this year by adopting one of the ranch’s four-legged friends! An adoption of a horse with a gift of $100 or more provides funds needed for grooming supplies, new tack, new feed bunks, and over-the-fence feed buckets for horses receiving special care. In return, we’ll send you a couple of special surprises from your adopted horse to keep you informed on life at the ranch – and know you are making an impact on the many campers experiencing the ministry of Klein Ranch. To adopt a horse, head on over to www.losd.org/horseadopt. Happy Trails!

OUTLAW PAVILION ANNOUNCEMENT Outlaw Ranch is excited to announce construction of an outdoor pavilion has begun. Situated next to the dining hall, this new facility will become the hub of camp during the summer season. Meals, concerts, arts and crafts and more will all be possible outdoors in all but the most inclement weather. We anticipate construction of the roof to be completed and ready for use this summer while the final touches will be ready before summer 2022. This is a significant investment in the future of Outlaw Ranch!

SUMMER CAMP: WITH A FEW CHANGES! Lutherans Outdoors is excited to provide camping opportunities this summer at NeSoDak, Outlaw Ranch, and Klein Ranch. But we will offer the programs with a set of COVID-related protocols for campers, staff, and activities that will provide a safe experience for all. We will follow CDC guidelines, the American Camping Association guidelines, and our state/county guidelines. Daily health screenings, which include temperature checks and health questions, will happen. Masks are to be worn at all times except when sleeping, swimming, eating, drinking, or at times when campers are with only their cabin group members. Handwashing is a must several times a day and there will be many stations to do this throughout the camp. LO has always been providing clean and sanitized surfaces, but will be very focused as to all shared areas of the camp. Many other precautions will be in place. A full description of these protocols can be found online at losd.org/safety and will be shared with all registered campers. As the spring and summer continue, new protocols could make changes to the current items that are in place. Campers will be sent updated information as it becomes available. If a registered camper is not feeling well, we ask that they stay home. A full refund will be made available. We look forward to a healthy camp experience of sharing God’s love in God’s beautiful outdoors.

YOUR INVITATION TO THE HERITAGE SOCIETY For more than fifty years, generations of families have gathered around the campfires at the camps of Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota for faith formation and life-changing experiences. While each year of camp operations presents its own challenges and financial needs, a unique group of faithful and generous camp supporters has created long-lasting opportunities for the camps through planned gift giving. The Heritage Society was established as a way to encourage and recognize individuals and families who have chosen to name Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota in their estate plans or in planned gifts. When these gifts are received by LO, they are invested in perpetuity, meaning the earnings are used, not the principle.

SO HOW DOES THIS WORK? A Planned Gift is Invested Permanently

The Investment Grows & Earns Interest

The Earnings are Utilized to Cover Important Operational Costs

In turn, the earnings from these investments are used to enhance and strengthen LO’s ministry opportunities and programs that happen at the camps.

THE LUTHERANS OUTDOORS ENDOWMENT FUND The key to sustaining the future of the ministry of Lutherans Outdoors is the building of the endowment fund. Gifts that are made to the LO Endowment Fund make both an immediate and long-term impact on the organization. These gifts are permanently invested. Each year, a percentage of the interest and earnings from the investment are used to assist with specific needs of the organization and always used as they are originally designated.

Endowment gifts build a solid foundation for the future of camping ministry in South Dakota. When you make an endowment gift, you are investing in future generations of campers. If you would like more information regarding The Heritage Society or would like to explore ways to contribute to the LO Endowment Fund, please contact Jake Hanson at jake@losd.org or (605) 940-2557.
