Strategic Plan

Lutheran Camping Corporation Strategic Plan – Adopted 2024

The LCC Board of Directors has adopted a strategic plan to discern where God is calling us and to intentionally plan for our life and work together at LCC.

This plan will build on our long and rich history and is essential for ensuring we are faithful stewards of God’s abundant resources. This process will also help us recognize and hold ourselves accountable to the opportunities for ministry the lie ahead of our community.
