WHY CAMP?
Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota (LO) is dedicated to quality Christian camping for youth and adults and has been for more than 65 years. Camp allows each person to explore and play in a nurturing environment, which in turn leads them to build a stronger faith foundation, discover personal gifts, develop new skills, as well as gain life-long friends and mentors.
FACT: Many leaders today attribute their leadership development to their experience at camp.
