 Our mission is to support the ministry of proclaiming and confessing Jesus Christ by nourishing the spiritual growth of those we serve, strengthening their service in Christ's name. The words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times. Psalm 12:6 |

Walter Goedel Charitable fund provides gift to camp! |
| Our sincere thanks to Walter Goedel, former board member and St. John's Lutheran - Wadena member recently provided a wonderful cash gift to camp. Mr. Goedel set up the charitable fund some time ago and has provided several gifts to camp including a new pontoon, cash gifts, and most recently a new wagon for our Horse Outreach Program. |

Just Announced |
Our Summer Schedule is now on the website. Watch for more details including special events, rates, and further registration information. We've added several new events and have lowered rates on several early summer programs. |
| Spring clean-up will soon be scheduled. |
|
| We want to thank the many individuals and congregations that have already supported our effort to improve and winterize the Chapel. Special thanks to St. John's Lutheran in Rush City for their $3,000 contribution and to the Redeemer-Burnsville foundation for their recent gift of $500. See below about our matching gifts program. We've just received word that the St Cloud Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has awarded us a $1600 grant for a hands-on-work project scheduled for July 11. Come out and join us. (Thanks for all the hard work. The project was a great success). We just received a $7,000 gift that covers most of the electrical work on the chapel. |
 | Board President David Vik was one of the volunteers from St. John's Lutheranin Park Rapids tearing down the old kitchen/canteen. |
| The Canteen was the latest part of the Chapel to get a facelift. |  |
 | This scaffolding was used by members of Messiah in Sartell as they put paneling on the ceiling of another section. |
| There are still two sections remaining to be panelled. Each section costs about $1800 in materials. Once the panelling is complete, we'll move on to a heating system. |  |

Want to help with the renovation and winterization of the Chapel? We have several projects going on this Spring. We need volunteers and donations to cover the $60,000 cost of siding, insulation, windows and interior paneling. Send your check marked "Matching Funds" and join other congregations, organizations, and individuals who are helping enhance the appearance and use of the Chapel. Last Fall we raised $20,000 to help with the cost of electrical and siding work. The electrical work and insulation is now complete as far as we can go. We've also finished the exterior siding. Just announced: We have a donor who has agreed to match $1 for every $2 donated up to $12,000 for the chapel work. Send your donation in now! Update: as of January 1st we have just reached the $24,000 toward our goal of $24,000 Thank you!!
