Who is LO?
Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota (LO) is a nonprofit organization that provides camping and
retreating programs for persons of all ages and is supported by the South Dakota Synod of the ELCA
and the Wyoming Conference of the Rocky Mountain Synod. These programs are implemented
throughout five camps located in unique geographical settings across South Dakota. While a large
percent of our programs are religious-based (summer camps and winter retreats), we also reach
out to environmental education groups, school groups, and retreat groups.
