Why Planned Giving?
For over five decades, Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota (LOSD) has invited people of all ages to explore and experience Christ’s love through community and creation. Each year, thousands of campers and guests visit our sites for faith-formative experiences in some of South Dakota’s most beautiful settings.
Your legacy gift helps make these experiences possible for generations to come.
Planned Giving is a powerful way to make a lasting impact on a ministry you love. Whether your connection to LOSD is through childhood camp memories, retreat experiences, or a desire to support future generations, your gift ensures that our mission continues well into the future.
When you make a planned gift to LOSD, you become a member of The Heritage Society—a special group of individuals and families committed to sustaining the legacy of Lutheran Bible camping in South Dakota.
