2011 Annual Meeting Minutes 2

LUTHER POINT BIBLE CAMP ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES October 15, 2011 – GARY LOKTU CENTER

The meeting was called to order at 9:33 am by Rev. Mark Woeltge, President of the Board. There were approximately 45 people in attendance. Camp Director, Rev. Craig Corbin, opened the meeting with devotions, “Our Hope is in Christ”, and prayer. The minutes of the October 16, 2010 Annual Meeting were reviewed and a motion was made and seconded to approve them. Motion carried. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS – Rev. Mark Woeltge, President of the Board • Camp has a lot of the same struggles and joys as the church • There are a lot of gifted and able staff • Excited about the Opening More Doors Together Campaign (OMDT) and the Memorial and Honors Program (M&H) • The best way to give God glory is to enjoy His gifts • Some of the challenges that we have

o Camper and retreat numbers are down therefore income is down o There is a lack of shared direction in the Joint Management Agreement with Luther Park o Need for a storm shelter, on-going maintenance of the camp and need for emergency power o Need for commitment from the Association churches

• Some of the exiting things to come o We will continue to develop the mission and purpose of the camp o What is the form of the call God wants us to have together with Luther Park o Building up programs with the member churches, developing some ecumenical relationships and development of the M&H program.

REPORT OF THE CAMP DIRECTOR – Rev. Craig Corbin, Executive Director • See the written report. • Our challenges are similar to other Lutheran camps across the nation. We are not in this alone. • Will have been here 20 years on May 21st, 2012. It’s personally a little discouraging to see the numbers going down in the last few years. • Bill Stafford, Development Coordinator, is tenacious and energetic and brings in results. The OMDT Campaign has increased by $160,000

in the last year. • We are starting to reach out to some of our brothers and sisters in Christ ecumenically. Craig will be attending a two-day Christian fair in

the Twin Cities where 12,000 people will have the opportunity to learn a little more about Luther Point. • This is a year-round ministry. We need to continue to work on educating people about all the opportunities here. • This is your camp. Each congregation needs a purposeful plan to help people come here, provide mission money, and stewardship. PROGRAM COORDINATOR REPORT – Jesse Weiss, Program Coordinator • See the written report. • Great to see you all here • The summer theme was ‘Gathered by Grace’. This was not just a tag line but was lived out in reality every day in many ways. The Grace of

God was truly present. Camp was a safe place to gather in the midst of that grace for all that were here. • Jesse has worked here for seven to eight summers and this summer’s staff was the most amazing by far. • We offered a Fine arts camp this summer. Seventeen kids came and enjoyed learning about photography, Japanese silk dying, etc. • We were blessed with a wonderful donation so we were able to purchase 10 touring kayaks. These kayaks are a wonderfully blessing and

we can now offer trips to the Apostle Islands on Lake Superior as well as kayaking on the Namekagon as well as the St. Croix. • This year we offered our first adult’s canoe trip. There was a little issue with weather this year, but the women really enjoyed themselves. • This is the first year we offered joint High School programming with Luther Park. If we had not partnered with them, three of the four trips

would have had to be cancelled for lack of attendance. • The number of churches using our Day Camp program dropped. We are trying to help congregations find creative ways to use the teams

more. • This is the second year of our traveling ministry team. This year we are doing it on our own without Youth Encounter. Our team is named

Impact 365. It’s mission is to help serve you and your congregation. Please use them to help strengthen your congregation. • As stated in the Second Annual meeting of the Association, this camp is your ‘unspeakable gift’ not the staff’s. It is yours. Your

congregations saw a need for Luther Point back then and felt it was ‘vital and important’ because it brought immeasurable faith growth. This Association is totally dependent on you.

2011 Annual Meeting Minutes 3

DEVELOPMENT REPORT – Janet Brandt, Chair of the Memorial and Honor Program • See the written report on page 47. • The Memorial and Honor Program is designed to generate revenue and increase the volunteer base by creating meaningful ways for

people to express joy and sympathy • So far we have 15 volunteer churches with Chairs and Vice-chairs in place • This is not just for the congregations but the volunteers will also be taking this program to the community by using newspapers and track

racks placed in businesses • There will be a kick off for the program on October 29th with a meeting of the 30 Chairs and Vice-chairs. • There will be a simple, easy to access, and user friendly way to donate and have a card made on the website by the beginning of

December Comments/suggestions from the Delegation: they would like downloadable Power Point presentations for the congregation to use. They would also like camp to develop ways to communicate more with the congregations. A motion was made and seconded to approve the Reports of the Executive Director, Program Coordinator, and Development as given and as printed in the Annual Report. Motion carried. FINANCIAL REPORT – Don Prose, Treasurer of the Board • Went over the financial statements in the Annual Report. • We are in a shortfall this year. • Craig asked the delegates how they would feel about a one-time late-year, early next year ask to the congregations.

looked favorable. A motion was made and seconded to approve the Financial Report given and as printed in the Annual Report. Motion carried.

Board President Report 5

Board President’s Report 2012 Dear member congregations of Luther Point Bible Camp:

Typically the annual report of Luther Point Bible Camp has not contained a report from the President of the Board of Directors. However, I am quite eager to share with you a number of significant events that have transpired over this past year. I need to start first by stating how much I enjoy working with the other board members and the executive staff. This is a group of individuals who are sincerely passionate about, concerned for and committed to not only Luther Point Bible Camp but also the future of outdoor ministry in Northwestern Wisconsin and Northeastern Minnesota. This passion, concern and commitment has motivated the more significant work attended to over the past year. The following are the highlights of our efforts.

The dominate focus for much of this year was the continued navigation of the Mutual Management Agreement with

Luther Park Bible Camp in Chetek, Wisconsin. There was considerable concern with the living out of this agreement primarily at the organizational and service level, and yet tremendous potential for partnering in re-imagining the future of outdoor ministry at the regional level. The executive staff—Craig, Jesse, Marcel and Jon—expended substantial time and energy towards the integration of the agreement organizationally and programmatically over the past year. However, it became apparent to the Board of Luther Park Bible Camp that this agreement was no longer tenable and voted to terminate the Mutual Management Agreement as of December 31, 2012. What this means is that we will be separating all currently shared services and staffing by the end of the year. With that being said, there remains great interest on the part of both Boards to continue working together in re-imagining the future of outdoor ministry in Northwestern Wisconsin as well as being open to any future potential for shared ministry.

The Joint Executive Committee earlier in the year acknowledged that there is an urgent need for both camps to

address the state of outdoor ministry and its future. We recognize that while we do traditional outdoor ministry well, nevertheless we continue to experience decline—decline in campers, decline in congregational support and decline in revenue. We not only conceded that we were at the limit of our knowledge and abilities with regard to these issues but we also began questioning whether, in light of the significant discontinuous change experienced within our society, we need to re-imagine outdoor ministry altogether. Therefore, the members of both Boards not only agreed but also desired to work together in order to explore and discern what God is doing and planning to do with outdoor ministry in Northwestern Wisconsin.

On July 13-14, 2012 a joint Board retreat was held at Luther Park Bible Camp. The Rev. Dr. Craig Van Gelder of

Luther Seminary was hired to lead us through the process of :

1. Becoming familiar with working through a theologically-framed planning process; 2. Clarifying the core identity of each camp and its ministry; 3. Engaging in re-imagining the mission of both camps for outdoor ministry; 4. Developing clarity of vision for moving forward in carry out this mission; 5. Determining if the current mutual ministry agreement is beneficial in continuing, and, if so, in what ways.

The retreat was effective and energizing. The work was rooted biblically and theologically and helped us attain a high

degree of honesty in assessing our ministries and in identifying and differentiating our technical and adaptive challenges. A summary of the retreat can be found in the addendum following this report. One of the key insights gained from this retreat was gaining clarity on the presenting issues, which the Board defined as:

1. Socio-Economic Shifts a. Economy b. Competition (alternative family vacation options [cabins, etc.] and other camps [Bible camps, sport camps,

family camps, etc.) 2. Perception

a. For Lutherans only b. The Name of the camp c. For youth only d. Summer programs only

3. Decline a. In campers b. Congregational support c. Revenues

The next steps in this process are:

6 Board President Report

1. Review and refine the presenting issues and further differentiate between the technical and adaptive challenges. 2. Identify new learning that is required as well as changes in beliefs (in regard to “traditions”) and behaviors in light

of the adaptive challenges. 3. Begin to re-define the mission and vision of outdoor ministry in Northwestern Wisconsin and Northeastern

Minnesota. 4. Develop a long-range plan for realizing the mission and present to the members of both camps at their respective

annual meetings in October, 2013.

While the Board of Directors has attended to a considerable amount of other work over the past year, much of which will be detailed in the report’s of the Executive Staff, this is, in my estimation, the most vital work that the Board has been called and entrusted to do. God has given us a great gift and responsibility in stewarding this outdoor ministry; a ministry that has affected, and in many cases transformed, the lives of literally thousands of people over the years—more than likely even yours. I, personally, am eager to see what God is doing and planning to do.

Once again, Luther Point Bible Camp is blessed to have a group of passionate, concerned and committed Board

Members and Executive Staff—all members of our various congregations. However, the future of Luther Point Bible Camp, as well as outdoor ministry in Northwestern Wisconsin and Northeastern Minnesota, is ultimately dependant upon the participation and support of all of our members. I ask you to not only pray for Luther Point Bible Camp and its leaders, but get excited with me and personally find ways to energize your home congregations to share in the blessing and responsibility of this great gift from God.

Rev. Mark A. Woeltge President of the Board of Directors ADDENDUM TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD REPORT Luther Park & Luther Point Board Retreat July 13-14, 2012 Facilitator: Rev. Dr. Craig Van Gelder, Luther Seminary Tasks and Outcomes The boards desire to accomplish the following from this retreat time together:

1. Become familiar with working through a theologically-framed planning process 2. Clarify the core identity of each camp and its ministry 3. Engage in re-imagining the mission of both camps for outdoor ministry 4. Develop clarity of vision for moving forward in carry out this mission 5. Determine if the current mutual ministry agreement is beneficial in continuing, and, if so, in what ways.

Dwelling in the Word Luke 10: 1-12 – The Sending of the Seventy Addressing *Technical and Adaptive Challenges

1. Utilizing Technical Change to Address Presenting Issues:

• Problem is typically clear and can be named • Known methods are available to solve the challenge • Expertise is available to use for addressing the challenge • Basic approach is to use a planning model (e.g. strategic planning)

*Technical planning approaches are often insufficient in being able to address many of the systemic issues now being faced

Board President Report 7

2. Utilizing *Adaptive Change to Address Systemic Issues:

• Real challenges underlying presenting issues are murky • New learning is required to address the challenge • God’s ordinary people on the front lines innovating experimental change • Basic approach is to use a discernment approach (e.g. communal Spirit-led learning)

*The Adaptive Challenge question:

“What issue(s) are we currently facing, for which we presently do not have an answer, but which we must address, if we are to live into God’s future?”

Presenting Issues

• Decline in campers over the past decade – Luther Park = 50%; Luther Point 60% • Decline in revenue for both camps • Congregation involvement declining for both camps • Decline in retreat numbers for both camps • Camps utilized more by outside groups – but not as diverse as the broader community • Increasing campers from wide variety of camps • Backdrop of decline in the ELCA church attendance – fewer children, older membership • Huge changes in families • Economy, families are struggling financially • Traditional constituents declining • Consumer materialism – ever increasing choices (sports camps), contrary to discipleship, values • Camp is more appealing to traditional, rural congregations • Identity issues – Seclusion of location in a time of community involvement, no longer “attractional” • Perception: Lutheran camps for Lutherans only; summer camp only, nothing year round • Camp name: Luther Bible Camp – does the name help or hinder? • Vision/Mission: how does it relate to a broader set of constituents • Debt: Ratio to annual revenue – Luther Park = 50%; Luther Point = 25% • Infrastructure needs: Luther Park – has some concern; Luther Point – is in pretty good shape • Not yet as diversified as much as the market • Declining allegiance from the congregations as being “their” camp • No support from the Synod, little support from the congregations: Luther Park = 133 congregations; Luther Point =

77 congregations • Camping culture is shifting with a greater number of camps closing • Outdoor ministries have no staff or Synod level support • Short term mission trips compete

Identity Regarding the current and future ministry of Lutheran outdoor ministries camps in NW Wisconsin: The Spirit of God is. . . ADAPTIVE CHANGE POTENTIAL

1. Expanding our imagination to experiment with creative solutions – how to adapt our delivery 2. Still drawing us to a deeper relationship to God through outdoor ministries

3. Openly inviting us to open the invitation to all people:

- Challenge us to look for opportunities in secular and ethnic arenas - (The Spirit of God is. . . ) bigger than “us”

4. Challenging us to rethink our relationship to congregations and neighboring communities and schools 5. Calling both camps to new ministry forms and functions

TECHNICAL/DEFAULT POTENTIAL

1. Calling us to communicate on numerous levels 2. Has given us a “place apart” – a gift to steward/share

3. Teaching us that we do some thing better together than alone

4. Calling us to serve through the holy Word and holy play

5. Building healthy and holy relationships – yet, for those we serve

6. Working through counselors to share and grow faith in those we serve

- Living into our mission/vision in our ministries

7. Shaping young leaders for those who serve as camp counselors

Board President Report 9

ADAPTIVE CHALLENGE STATEMENTS

1. Our outdoor ministry has yet to develop the practices of ministry that stewards our God-given outdoor resources for a new and wider population that leads to expanded relationships with God and one another.

2. We don’t know how to adapt to the changing partnerships in ministry or how to best cultivate our present partnerships.

3. Our current mindset has hampered us from embracing change and including “others.”

4. Recognize or identify the wants and needs of today’s and future families and how to develop relationships with our partners with identifying those needs (wants and needs may lead to default).

“You don’t know how to connect with the future that God has given you. . . You are blue zone leaders in a red zone reality. You need to do some green zone experiments; cultivating the

conversation at the board level.” ~Rev. Dr. Craig Van Gelder

10 2012 Executive Director Report

2012 Executive Director’s Report

I want to spend a majority of my report writing to you about the ministry possibilities and challenges we will face as a Camp Corporation in 2013 and beyond. As many of you may know, the Mutual Ministry Arrangement with Luther Park Bible Camp is concluding as of December 31, 2012. As I have envisioned the coming year, I am looking forward to the fact that I will have 50% of all of my work time coming back to Luther Point. Fifty percent is a lot of time coming back to this Ministry. I am convinced that I will be able to commit significant time to several key objectives in the coming year. Those areas are:

1) OMDT Phase 2: I am especially excited about the redesign of the Storm Shelter and proposed renovation of existing buildings around the Storm Shelter. The camp currently has about $291,000 in funding plus an additional $100,000+ in pledges committed with the likelihood of $80,000 being honored. The tentative cost for the redesign and renovation work is $700,000-$750,000. This equates to a projected need of about $330,000-$370,000. I am looking forward to going back to our faithful, gracious donors to seek this additional funding that will be needed to complete these projects.

2) New Retreat Groups: The staff at Luther Point is currently working on some strategic ideas to implement that will generate some new retreat groups. We are setting a goal of having at least 10 new retreat groups in 2013.

3) Increase Family Camp: Luther Point has two Family Camp offerings, Weekend and Week-long Family Camp. Targeting younger families in our congregations and especially targeting former summer staff who have established families seems to be a natural fit when promoting this part of our ministry offerings.

4) Additional Emphasis upon Annual Fund: With the projected shortfall in funding due to the discontinuance of the Mutual Ministry Agreement, all of the proposed increased measures will be necessary. Building the Annual Fund and encouraging donors to consider increasing their support to the camp will be a key part of this Annual Development Strategy.

5) Estate Gift Planning: The Luther Point Foundation Board is scheduling and making plans to bring added

awareness to Estate Planning. They are proposing three to four meetings in January with financial advisors, accountants, and attorneys to give a brief synopsis of Federal gifting rules/ guidelines for 2103. We will also be providing information about Luther Point for them to share with their clients when working on estate plans. There will also be an Estate Planning Event during the month of April for folks to attend as an information sharing session.

6) Promote Summer Camp: This is nothing new but we want to see the trend back on the positive side as we did this past summer. More one on one visits from staff throughout the late winter and early spring along with Impact 365 involvement in churches will continue to keep summer Bible Camp at the forefront, with a continued emphasis upon the Campership Fund and the outreach ministry that it provides.

Once again as always, a special thank you to our congregations who have continued to support the camp faithfully

with your benevolent support. One of the encouraging aspects of the work and ministry each year is that congregations are still keeping Luther Point as a priority in their mission support.

As a reminder to us all, our primary mission remains the same, “Forming Faith, Pointing to Christ”. People’s lives and

faith continue to be nurtured, molded, and shaped by their experiences here at Luther Point. We faithfully continue in that tradition and that mission of sharing the good news of Jesus. Reaching out with hospitality, grace and acceptance, in order that people might come to know Jesus as Lord of their life.

Thank you for your partnership and ownership in this vital ministry of the church.

Rev. Craig M. Corbin, Executive Director

Program Director Report 11

Program Director’s Report

“There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.” – Ephesians 4:4-6

In many ways, our theme verse from this summer sums up a lot about the nature of outdoor ministry – a group of congregations from different communities that unite as one body to provide a place for youth and adults to go to, a group of campers that come from different communities and backgrounds to unite as one body for a week of camp, and a group of young adults who come from different places in life to form a summer staff that shares a common goal. This is Luther Point – and it’s held together by the work of the Holy Spirit in our midst, who calls us together to for the purpose of being a part of God’s mission in the world.

United as one, we were able to carry out another wonderful year of ministry through this camp. Once again we were able to provide a memorable and transformational summer camp experience. The stories about camp experiences never get old – kids who arrive at camp wanting to be anywhere else but by the end of the week don’t want to leave, kids who come to camp alone who by the end of the week are exchanging phone numbers with all their new friends, and kids who came to camp not really sure what faith means in their lives, only to be deeply impacted by experiencing Christ at camp.

Numbers for all three of our “traditional” camps – 3/4th Grade, 5/6th Grade, and Jr. High - were up this year. Year after year the result of the evaluations of these camps remains the same – the campers favorite thing were the relationships they formed with the Summer Staff and their fellow campers. We also had another good year of Specialty Camps. GoFishN’ Camp, now in its third year, gets better each year thanks to the hard work of our leader Jeff Butler. Fine Arts Camp was also blessed with some great leaders, including Pastor Paul Oman who shared his painting ministry with us. Horse Camp, Drama Camp, and Guitar Camp all went as expected. Grandparent/Grandchild camp continued to as a popular program with our second year in a row of over 100 participants. The biggest disappointments were our Outpost and Canoe programs – participation was way down and we had to cancel several weeks. On the positive side, this was our first year of offering canoe and kayaking trips to youth groups, and we had two groups participate. We are looking forward to growing this program more in coming years.

We also kept busy the rest of the year through our retreating ministry. For two years now an Adult Retreat Committee has been planning joint retreats between Luther Point and Luther Park. This has allowed us to share resources, as well as to share constituencies in order to reach more people with the retreats. Many thanks go out to that committee for their hard work.

We have also maintained a commitment to establishing more of a year-round presence in the lives of congregations and families. We recognize the impact that camp has the lives of youth, and we know that we can use that to help strengthen our congregations. Our Impact365 team was able to be a youth ministry and worship resource to many congregations. Now in its second year, the team is also focusing on equipping senior high leadership in the congregations. We launched our LutherPoint365 webpage, which is a resource for families to learn and grow together as they do activities centered on our theme at camp for the summer.

United together as one body, we can create a camp experience that isn’t just about a kid coming to camp, but that is also about camp and congregation working together to strengthen each other for the sake of God’s mission in the world. As we look around a changing Lutheran landscape, there is hope to be found in the gifts that both camp and congregation hold. If we partner to share these gifts, then we can look forward to knowing that the next generations will grow up with a meaningful life of faith.

Grace and Peace,

Jesse Weiss – Program Director

Ambassadors 13

AMBASSADORS Luther Point Ambassadors are a strong bridge between their congregations and Luther Point. They are individuals

who have a great interest in and love for Outdoor Ministry. It is our desire to have an Adult and Junior Ambassador active in each of our Association Congregations. Their voices help tell the important story of how God is active in this place. Also the constant camp presence they bring to their congregation is an open, ongoing invitation for others to partner with Luther Point.

During the Ambassador Retreat this past winter a number of Ambassadors came to Luther Point for a morning of

sharing their ideas and being equipped with resources to help them promote camp back in their congregations. This retreat will be repeated again in February of 2013. We hope that even more Ambassadors will attend so that we can thank them in person for their ministry and give them more ways to partner with us in “Forming Faith, Pointing to Christ.”

Thanks to all who currently serve as Ambassadors (listed below) and to those who will soon make the commitment.

Your partnership is important to the continued growth of this ministry.

LutherPoint365 is a website designed to connect youth and families to camp all year long. Leading up to each summer, there are five full weeks of devotional materials related to the coming summer’s theme at camp. There are also devotional materials and blogs from summer staff members to learn from after summer camp is over. We will also be adding resources for congregations – games, meal prayers, etc. Check it out by going to www.LutherPoint.org and clicking the link in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

Camp Quotes 23

Camp Quotes: Stories of Inspiration

From The Summer Staff:

God at Work One evening after our prayer service, my girls and I took our candle and went to sit in a Gazebo to talk

about the service. Up until that point my girls had not really been open to talking about God. We started talking about forgiveness and how Jesus died on the cross. They had so many questions about the Bible and about stories in the Bible. It was my first summer as a counselor so I was new to getting

asked all these questions. We talked for two hours about the Bible and I had an answer for every question – I knew God was working through me. I had to cut them from questions because it was getting

late, so we closed in prayer and they took turns expressing how thankful they were for Jesus. It brought tears to my eyes. The next day during Bible study they were excited to read the Bible and

talked about how it was the first time they were interested in reading the stories. I won’t forget that week because God used me to affect those girls’ hearts and God used them to affect mine!

Short and Sweet

A camper in Guitar camp was praying and said, “God, I thought I was coming here to learn guitar. But it was really to find you.” It was an amazing thing to hear.

Love

One of the weeks I had a camper that said many things that blew us away. He would talk about things like, “You know, I really love God and Jesus.” He was such a joy and I could really see Christ through

him. I really saw that he believed in the power of the Holy Spirit and he really grew through the week. It was an amazing week.

Campers Teach Staff

God truly blessed me with so many amazing campers. Each and every one of them taught me to really appreciate everything in my life, as well as myself. They all truly gave me so much confidence in even the

smallest things. They all taught me more than they will ever know.

Creation Speaks One night I was sitting at campfire and a girl was sitting next to me, separate from her cabin group.

She had gotten into some trouble earlier and couldn’t focus that night. The loons entered the swimming area and suddenly she was focused—she was so excited by the loons she grabbed my arm and kept

24 Camp Quotes

excitedly talking about them. “They’re just so beautiful,” she said. From that point on she was focused and got into campfire and the songs and prayer. The transformation was amazing. The Lord works in

mysterious ways in nature. Even through two silent, yet beautiful, loons.

Community Formed by Prayer During a week of Jr. High/Confirmation campers, I had a group of girls who were very reluctant to pray out loud. So Wednesday morning at Bible study, I told my girls about how I used to never pray aloud and

how I learned to do it one summer at camp. I didn’t think my story had really affected my girls that much. Imagine my surprise when my girls volunteered to pray aloud as a task for counselor Hunt that

night! After Prayer Worship, I invited my girls to each pray for every other person in the group, and we had an awesome hour-long prayer session. It was really amazing how God worked through both my girls

and I to teach all of us so much that week!

From The Campers when asked “What did you learn at camp?

I learned I’m always growing in my faith.

I learned more about how and why Jesus died on the cross for us during the Clown Service.

That God is with us wherever we go.

How much God means to me and how much God loves every one of us.

Worship helped me to realize that God is real.

To put my life in God’s hands, he will take care of me. I don’t let little things worry me.

The Holy Spirit is always within you. Before, I didn’t even know what the Holy Spirit was.

I learned a lot about my faith and used that knowledge to write my Statement of Faith.

I learned that everyone brings their own gifts and talents to everything.

My counselors taught me lots by being good examples of Christ.

From The Parents:

Her faith in Christ is renewed and refreshed. She wants to become a counselor and play worship music on her guitar. That’s a great goal. ~ Parent of a 5/6th Grade Camper

Camp Quotes 25

My child benefited through the opportunity to learn more about the Lord and make friends in an

independent environment. ~ Parent of a 5/6th Grade Camper

Wow – it was exactly what we were hoping for her – to spend some time surrounded with good, positive people, to learn to relax a little and laugh more and to give her a basis for her faith – she came home

with a new outlook on life! ~ Parent of a Horse Camp Camper

It gave him the opportunity to experience other kids in a faith environment. The counselor’s faith was very significant to him, too. ~ Parent of a 5/6th Grade Camper

I think it gave him a chance to feel more grown-up, appreciate his family, grow more spiritually and come

of his shell a little. ~ Parent of a GoFishN’ Camper

He was just so vibrant when we picked him up! So excited to sing songs and participate in campfire. The overall experience, bonds made, growth in faith, etc. were amazing as always.

~ Parent of a 5/6th Grade Camper

It was a great opportunity to learn to be away from home and to rely on people other than Mom and Dad. She made new friends and grew in her independence. She had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come

back next year. ~ Parent of a 5/6th Grade Camper

Her self-confidence has increased a lot! She was really nervous about staying a whole week but she did it! ~ Parent of a 5/6th Grade Camper

I believe that the examples set by the counselors are of great benefit and their support and

encouragement of the campers was wonderful. ~ Parent of a Horse Camp Camper

She had a wonderful time, learned more about Christ, had a safe positive experience away from home, and met new friends. ~ Parent of a 5/6th Grade Camper

When my son left to camp he told me he really didn’t want to go (it was his first time). When he came

back the first thing he said was he can’t wait to go back next year! I am definitely going back again. He came back a different kid and a little more grown up and mature. ~ Parent of a Jr. High Camper

I am impressed with the hard work/volunteerism spirit of everyone which makes all this wonderful

experiences for young people. Thank you for focusing on Jesus! Kids so need this these days! ~ Parent of a Sr. High Servant Camp Camper

2012 Financial Notes 35

LUTHERAN BIBLE CAMP ASSOCIATION

Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2012

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Revenue Recognition Support that is temporarily restricted by the donor is reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets if the restriction expires in the reporting period in which the support is recognized. All other donor-restricted support is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished), temporality restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the Statement of Support, Revenue, and Expenses as net assets released from restrictions. Interest Capitalized The Organization follows the policy of capitalizing interest as a component of the cost of property, plant and equipment constructed for its own use. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Organization considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Donated Services No amounts have been reflected in the financial statements for donated services. The Organization generally pays for services requiring expertise. However, many individuals volunteer their time and perform a variety of tasks that assist the Organization, but these services do not meet the criteria for recognition as contributed services.

NOTE 2 - PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, AND DEPRECIATION

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures from maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments (generally in excess of $1,000) are capitalized. Donation of property and equipment are recorded as support at the estimated fair value (generally in excess of $500). Such donations are reported as unrestricted support unless the donor has restricted the donated asset to a specific purpose. Depreciation is calculated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Land Improvements 15-20 years Building and Improvements 9-30 years

Vehicles 3-5 years Equipment 3-7 years

NOTE 3 – LINE OF CREDIT

As of September 30, 2012, the Organization has a $50,000 unsecured line of credit with a bank to be drawn upon as needed, with an interest rate of 2% above prime. As of September 30, 2012 there was $45,350 drawn down on this line.

OMDT Report 37

Opening More Doors Together Campaign Update Total pledges and gifts for the OMDT Campaign remains increased over $23,800 over this time last year to a total of $835,217. This includes leadership gifts, WELCA and Church gifts and gifts raised through the congregational phase of the campaign. See Financial Statement for details.

2012 has been a year of project action: 1) The septic system upgrade received approval in the early part of 2012, which began the bid process.

Several bids were received by excavation contractors. A contractor was approved by the action of the Luther Point Board of Directors and project work was scheduled.

2) Jeff Fox Excavating from Dresser was extended the contract to do the work on the septic system installation.

3) Excavation and installation work took place during late April / Early May of this year. Projects included the installation of two very large holding tanks with a combined capacity of over 14,500 gallons near the existing drain field. A holding tank was also installed at the Benson cabin. This is a cabin that is frequently used for year round staff and guest housing. The fourth and final tank installed was a new grease trap at the Gary Loktu Dining Hall.

4) Total Cost for the entire installation and purchase of tanks was about $32,500. Potential re-design of the architectural master plan for the OMDT Projects. At the annual meeting of the Luther Point Association on October 20, 2012, the constituency will be

entertaining and discussing the re-design of the architectural master plan. The re-design was put together by the Property Committee and Craig Selander, Architect, includes the

following conceptual designs and ideas. 1) Relocate the proposed storm shelter to be more central and accessible to campers and guests. 2) Downsize the building to be exclusively a storm shelter with no housing for retreat guests. Other uses

to include the following: a. Summer staff office b. Summer staff lounge c. Shower facility for boys and girls d. Registration area for summer camp e. Rainy day activity space during the summer f. Large group retreat activity space during retreat season. g. Alternative worship space for camp and/or retreat groups

3) Totally re-design the floor plan for Luther Lodge and completely renovate. 4) Winterize and renovate all three of the Boy’s cabins and the Ouch house.

a. This will make up for the beds being lost from the original Storm Shelter Design. b. This will still allow us to expand our year round bed capacity, currently at 96 with a potential gain

of 50-56 beds for a total year round bed capacity of 146-152. c. It also gives the camp several retreat group options. More exclusive use of the Retreat Center

for adults only. Luther Lodge is and will remain a stand-alone retreat facility. The Camper Cabin renovation makes it possible for the camp to host additional year-round retreat groups with housing in cabins and retreat meeting in the storm shelter.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW REPORT The Board of Directors Lutheran Bible Camp Association dba: Luther Point Bible Camp Grantsburg, Wisconsin We have reviewed the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and net assets – modified cash basis of the Lutheran Bible Camp Association dba: Luther Point Bible Camp (a nonprofit organization) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of support, revenue and expenses – modified cash basis, functional expenses – modified cash basis, and cash flows – modified cash basis for the years then ended. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data and making inquiries of Organization management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly we do not express such an opinion. The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from the Organization’s December 31, 2010 financial statements. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Lutheran Bible Camp Association. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements. Our responsibility is to conduct the review in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our report. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with the modified cash basis of accounting, as described in Note 1. /s/ Currie, Pangerl & Associates, Ltd.

LUTHERAN BIBLE CAMP ASSOCIATION dba: Luther Point Bible Camp Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2011 and 2010

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization Lutheran Bible Camp Association DBA Luther Point Bible Camp (the organization) is incorporated under the Wisconsin Nonprofit Corporation Act. The Organization is comprised of an association of 78 congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in Northwest Wisconsin and Northeast Minnesota. The purpose of the Organization is to extend the mission of Christ's church, serving all member congregations by enriching the Christian faith and life of each person who uses the camp and its programs through fostering learning, worship and fellowship opportunities, and through building relationships with God, others and creation. Major support sources include contributions and program service revenue from participants.

Description of Programs The programs through which the Organization provides its services are as follows:

Summer Camp Programs – Luther Point Bible Camp’s summer program includes day, half

week, and week long sessions for children in grades 1-12 as well as a special week for families. The camp can accommodate 140 - 170 campers each week and offers week long canoe trips on the Namekagon and St. Croix Rivers for junior and senior high.

Groups/Retreats – Groups and families in the community as well as retreaters from any church denomination may rent the facilities on location for smaller retreats, gatherings or group meetings.

Canteen – Campers and individuals attending a retreat have a place to purchase Luther Point Bible Camp clothing, hats and other mementos as well as snacks and drinks.

Capital Projects – Capital campaigns are for updating and repairing buildings used for summer camps and retreats as well as expanding the current facilities to continue the growth of the organization.

Income Tax Status The Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state income tax laws. The Organization is a non-private foundation and contributions to the Organization qualify as a charitable tax deduction by the contributor. The Organization has evaluated for uncertain tax positions and management has expressed that there are no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2011. The Organization has not been audited by the Internal Revenue Service or Wisconsin Department of Revenue, and accordingly the income tax returns for the past three and one-half years are open to examination. Basis of Accounting The Organization uses the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. Revenue and support are recognized when received rather than when earned and expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred.

Page 7

LUTHERAN BIBLE CAMP ASSOCIATION dba: Luther Point Bible Camp Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2011 and 2010

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of support, revenues, and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investments The Organization carries investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities at their fair values in the statement of financial position. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the change in net assets in the accompanying Statement of Support, Revenue, and Expenses. Financial Statement Presentation In accordance with professional standards, the Organization is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of assets:

Unrestricted – Resources over which the Board of Directors has discretionary control.

Temporarily Restricted with respect to time or purpose – Those resources subject to a donor-imposed

restriction which will be satisfied by actions of the Organization or the passage of time.

Permanently Restricted – Those resources to a donor-imposed restriction that they be maintained permanently. At this time, the Organization has no such permanently restricted resources.

Functional Allocations of Expenses The cost of providing the various programs and other activities has been summarized on a functional basis in the Statement of Support, Revenue, and Expenses. Accordingly, certain cost have been allocated among the programs and supporting services benefited.

Revenue Recognition Support that is temporarily restricted by the donor is reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets if the restriction expires in the reporting period in which the support is recognized. All other donor-restricted support is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets, depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the Statement of Support, Revenue, and Expenses as net assets released from restrictions.

Reclassifications Certain accounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current-year financial statements.

LUTHERAN BIBLE CAMP ASSOCIATION dba: Luther Point Bible Camp Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2011 and 2010

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Organization considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Subsequent Events In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through October 10, 2012, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Donated Services No amounts have been reflected in the financial statements for donated services. The Organization generally pays for services requiring specific expertise. However, many individuals volunteer their time and perform a variety of tasks that assist the Organization, but these services do not meet the criteria for recognition as contributed services.

NOTE 2 - PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, AND DEPRECIATION

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures from maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments (generally in excess of $1,000) are capitalized. Donation of property and equipment are recorded as support at the estimated fair value (generally in excess of $500). Such donations are reported as unrestricted support unless the donor has restricted the donated asset to a specific purpose. Depreciation is calculated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Land Improvements 15-20 years Building and Improvements 9-39 years Vehicles 3-5 years Equipment 3-7 years

Depreciation for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $38,875 and $35,933, respectively.

NOTE 3 - LINE OF CREDIT

As of December 31, 2011, Luther Bible Camp Association has a $75,000 unsecured line of credit with a bank to be drawn upon as needed, with an interest rate of 2% above prime. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, there was $40,350 and $20,000 drawn down on this line, respectively.

Luther Point Foundation Summary Report for 2012

The Foundation Board (FB) met regularly this year. The first meeting involved a lot of information and bringing board members up to date. Up until this year the FB had not been meeting regularly and therefore the need to bring folks up to date.

Over the years one of the priorities for the Foundation has been to build the Foundation Fund. One main idea was a

fundraising venture specifically centered around the camp Labyrinth. The basic idea involves some kind of architectural landscape bricks and/or stones with a memory garden in and around the Labyrinth. Investigative work has been done and this is a possible project. The concern has been raised as to whether this fundraising venture would be competing with other Camp Funds such as: Annual Fund, Memorial and Honor Program, Opening More Doors Capital Fund and Campership Fund. The FB recently (Oct. 9, 2012) decided to postpone this possible venture to give the Luther Point Board of Directors and staff the opportunity to solidify an all-inclusive Development plan for the camp ministry.

The FB is moving ahead with some ideas related to estate gift planning. At the most recent meeting of the FB on

October 9, 2012, it was decided we would offer a couple of Accountant/Attorney/Advisor breakfast meetings in late January 2013 to explain how to include Luther Point Foundation in their estate planning conversations with clients. The FB will also work on a flier that makes it easy for the financial advisors to include Luther Point.

The FB also intends to offer an Estate Planning Informational program prior to the Friends of Luther Point Banquet on

Sunday, April 14, 2013. The above mentioned flyer will also let the financial advisors know that we are having this program.

As a part of the overall development plan for the camp and the Luther Point Foundation it will be essential that follow-

up visits be made upon potential donors who express interest in the estate planning information meeting in April 2013. Summary submitted by Rev. Craig Corbin on behalf of the Foundation Board
