At Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota (LOSD), we believe that faith grows best in community—and that’s why we are dedicated to partnering with congregations to create meaningful outdoor ministry experiences. Whether you’re looking to send your youth to camp, host a retreat, or bring faith-filled programming to your church, we’re here to support and strengthen your ministry.
