Rooted and Renewing!Shetek Lutheran Ministries is rooted in 70 years of ministry on Keeley Island and we are planning for future ministry and the needs for decades to come. Many wonderful improvements have been made over the last few years – dining hall remodeled, retreat center expanded and activity center built. The retreat center is a wonderful asset that is used almost every weekend throughout the year along with most days in the summer.

In 2016, we hosted 964 on site campers, 761 day-campers and 3291 retreat guests. The potential to serve many more is great since groups are often turned away due to lack of space.

The desire is to offer more programming throughout the fall, winter and spring seasons and more comfortable and hospitable facilities for the campers and guests. In order to provide this better service, we need to upgrade, expand and winterize the lodging facilities.

SPECIFIC CONCERNS AND OPPORTUNITIES:1. The cabins are more than 80 years old and do not

meet the campers’ expectations.

2. Some campers are uncomfortable using the current bath house.

3. The strategic plan identifies the need for expanding the year round programming. To do that we need more winterized facilities.

4. The current entrance to camp can be confusing and uninviting. We need an improved entrance with clearer traffic flow and parking, a new administrative building that includes the camp store and health care, and staff accommodations.

5. The water treatment/filtration system, which needs to be upgraded, would need to be relocated to accommodate new facilities.

Solutions - The Master PlanThe master site plan that has been developed to meet the needs and opportunities that Shetek Lutheran Ministries seeks to address is illustrated, in part, on the graphic above. The proposed floor plan for the proposed new cabins (duplex lodges) and the proposed new adult/youth lodge also are illustrated to the right.

Floor plans for the proposed new retreat center and new welcome and administrative center may be seen on the Shetek Lutheran Ministries web site: www.shetek.org

STEP 1 Receive a congregation council visit to learn the specifics of the campaign projects, timetable and activities.

STEP 2 Select a member of the congregation to serve as the campaign leader and have that selected leader attend a training program.

STEP 3 Set a goal* for the congregation and then conduct a five-week campaign effort that offers every member family of the congregation an opportunity to participate through a contribution.

Congregation Gifts CampaignEach congregation will be asked to participate in this challenging campaign effort through a careful three-step process:

Congregation Goals *

Each congregation will be asked to set a non-binding, three-year goal for their campaign effort. Recommended goal levels are proposed on the basis of the average weekly worship attendance of the congregation. The following are the proposed goal levels for congregations.

Basic Goal $100 per worshipper Advance Goal $150 per worshipper Challenge Goal $200 per worshipper

For example, a congregation with an average weekly worship attendance of 100 persons could select from among the following three-year goals:

Basic Goal $10,000 Advance Goal $15,000 Challenge Goal $20,000
