The Church, in a place and time apart... 

Where God’s presence is experienced, 

Faith is renewed, Christ’s love is felt, 

and the Church is strengthened 

for the service and proclamation of the Gospel!

[Introduction] 

It’s not about the numbers; it’s all about the mission. 

Thanks to your support, the Lutheran Camping Corporation 

continues to build on years of successful outdoor ministry. 

It’s not that numbers are unimportant. They tell the tangible 

part of the story. For example, in summer of 2008, a total of 

2,408 persons participated in summer camp ministry, including 

youth camps, confirmation camps, family and adult camps, 

Wittel Farm programs, retreats, and congregation-based day 

camps. What numbers don’t indicate is how and to what extent 

those campers were impacted by their time at camp. That is 

something much harder to quantify. However, anyone who 

spent time at Kirchenwald, Nawakwa, or The Wittel Farm 

witnessed ministry in action and saw spiritual growth and faith 

formation as campers enjoyed Christian fellowship, explored 

God’s creation, worshiped together, and were encouraged to 

proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Growing now for the future 

2008 was a year of growth and forward thinking for the 

Lutheran Camping Corporation. 221 acres were added to 

the Nawakwa ministry site, ensuring that the nature of the 

camp will be preserved for future generations of campers and 

retreat guests. The enlarged site also presents opportunities for 

ministry growth as new programs and ministry activities are 

developed. 

We’re not doing it alone 

The Lutheran Camping Corporation values its strong 

relationships with the congregations of the Lower Susquehanna 

Synod and shares with them the common goal of advancing the 

Church. At the Lutheran Camping Corporation, we sincerely 

appreciate the support of those congregations and their 

members, our volunteers, our financial donors, and all those 

who help us fulfill our mission. Thank you once again.

[Kirchenwald] 

By the glow of the lanterns’ light, you can see a row of terrariums and plastic tanks filled with frogs, black snakes, 

and a baby box turtle named Sam. Field guides and reference books sit atop shelves supported by the sawed-off 

branches of a maple tree. Eight thick tree-trunk stools with chainsaw carvings encircle an impressive 200-pound 

disk of tulip poplar wood that serves as both a tabletop and as a teaching tool for nature education. (It was at least 

178 years old, by my ring count.) 

These are just a few of the many exciting sights inside Kirchenwald’s new Creation Exploration Center. Dedicated 

in the spring of 2008, the yurt’s unique structure is perfect for housing the camp’s nature programs, teaching 

campers about our roles as stewards of God’s creation. But the idea of creation extends beyond the curved walls 

of our yurt. This summer, 524 campers created friendships, new memories, and a stronger understanding of their 

relationship with God. Sixty-four staff and volunteers created a safe and caring environment to foster the social 

and spiritual growth of those who attended camp. Congregations in the Lower Susquehanna Synod helped to create 

opportunities for families to send their children to camp. And the financial gifts of those who support the work of 

outdoor ministry sites, like Kirchenwald, created and continue to create our ability to provide a quality experience 

for campers and retreat groups in the programs we offer and in the facilities we develop. 

With the creation of new programs for youth and adults, camp continues to be a place where God’s presence is 

felt, faith is renewed, and the Church is strengthened. Kirchenwald is committed to working in loving service and 

support of congregations, and we are thankful for those who contribute to our ministry with their time, talents, and 

gifts. 

2 th e lu t h e R A n CA m p i n g Co R p o R At i o n o f Ce n t R A l pe n n s y lvA n i A 

So God created human beings, making them to be like 

himself. He created them male and female, blessed 

them and said, “Have many children, so that your 

descendants will live all over the earth and bring it 

under their control. I am putting you in charge of the 

fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and all the 

wild animals. Behold, I have given you every plant 

yielding seed, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you 

shall have them for food. But for all the wild animals 

and for all the birds I have provided grass and leafy 

plants for food.” 

-Genesis 1:27-30

[Nawakwa] 

It is always a pleasure to share Nawakwa’s story with the many visitors we receive throughout the year. I enjoy 

talking about our humble beginnings as a training ground for Sunday School teachers, started by a man with a 

passion for a holistic approach to Christian Education. If the visitors are former campers, familiar names always 

rise to the surface: Rapid Reg Deitz, Pastor Bishop, Miss Grove… We talk about s’mores, cairn services and 

pool water temperatures, apple butter and boisterous singing around a campfire – elements of Nawakwa that have 

remained constant over the years. 

While Nawakwa is certainly steeped in tradition, we continue to look outward and forward. It is with some amount 

of pride that I point out the improvements, renovations, and additions since our first camping season in 1929. The 

removal of hazard trees is painful as we lose their beauty and shade, but protecting our campers and buildings is 

of greater importance. Program development is an ongoing process and is reflected in our brochures and the way 

we use our resources. Eighty years into this grand adventure we call Nawakwa, we continue to stretch and grow to 

meet the needs of God’s people. 

In the summer of 2008, Nawakwa welcomed 606 campers to resident camp, 84 of whom attended through the 

generosity of camperships. (That’s 84 campers who would not have attended without the generosity of our donors.) 

Congregational day camps served 79 children at 4 sites. We hosted 437 confirmation campers in 4 confirmation 

camps. 47 students attended the LSS Leadership Camp. We welcomed 87 children from the Adams county 

migrant farmworker community to three day camps held in partnership with the G-10 Summer Program. 80 

families attended our two Family Camps and 14 people attended Elder Camp. 52 staff and 53 volunteers pulled 

weeds, peeled carrots, vacuumed the pool, and made sure that everyone who entered our gates knew that he or she 

is a beloved child of God. That is our greatest tradition of all. Thanks be to God.

[The Wittel Farm] 

Wittel Farm truly is a quiet place apart. It is a joyful and peaceful place where God’s presence is experienced 

by small groups which gather there for study, worship and prayer, by individuals, and by children who come to 

participate in the Summer Day Program. 

A rich and diverse ministry 

During the summer, the Farm is the location for The Wittel Farm Summer Day Program (WFSDP). In 2008, 115 

youth accompanied by 39 adults from 15 congregations participated in this creative, exciting, unique Christian 

education event. The 2008 program, titled Mission Possible!, focused on lessons of service and discipleship. 

Participants enjoyed games, worship, bible study and hands-on learning activities. They also completed several 

service projects, including the construction of a labyrinth and a food drive for a local food bank. The 2009 WFSDP 

is Exploration of God’s Creation. 

In the non-summer months, the Wittel Farm ministry shifts attention from serving youth to providing ministry for 

adults. Congregations utilize the Farm for small group retreats, meetings, and council retreats. Individuals enjoy 

the Farm for personal spiritual retreats. The Lutheran Camping Corporation also sponsors small group retreats, 

Days Of Prayer with the Bishop, Advent and Lenten Days Apart, and a Garden and Tea Party. 

We are thankful to all those who support and advance the ministry of the Wittel Farm. 

Mike Youse 

Executive Director 


“It is a rare blessing to be able to get away from the 

pressures and hurried pace of daily life to be still and 

know God. I walked up to the gazebo this evening 

to watch the sun set. Several deer emerged from the 

woods and wandered across the field. I felt at one 

with God’s creation surrounding me. Thank you for 

this wonderful place of peace and solitude”.

[Development] 

2008 was an exciting year of new beginnings for the 

Lutheran Camping Corporation as we completed the 

purchase of 221 acres of new land at our Nawakwa 

site. We officially launched our IMAGINE…Capital 

Campaign with our sights set on a Celebration goal 

of $2.5 million. (By the first quarter of 2009, we had 

passed $750,000 overall for the campaign in gifts, 

pledges, and expectancies.) 

We want to thank all of the volunteers who helped in so 

many ways with all manner of skills and abilities and 

countless hours of selfless service. We could not offer 

the scope and type of ministry that we do without their 

invaluable contributions of time and talent. 

You will find lists of financial contributions designated 

for particular parts of the ministry of the LCC on 

the related pages of this report. Those figures are 

included in the following summary report of gifts and 

contributions that were received in 2008. 

As we move through 2009, we continue to benefit greatly from our very generous friends who support us in many and varied 

ways. We thank our God for all that you do and pray that together we will continue to experience God’s gracious presence and 

have our faith renewed.

ministRy leAdeRs 

As members of Lutheran 

congregations throughout the Lower 

Susquehanna Synod, pastors and 

lay-persons have given of their time, 

talents, and treasures to help direct 

and support the camps through 

their involvement on the Board and/ 

or Committees. We give thanks to 

all who have made the Lutheran 

Camping Corporation a part of 

their purpose through service this 

way.
