In 1939, several pastors and lay persons of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod investigated the purchase of the 20-year old YWCA Camp on West Lake Okoboji. In 1940, their investigations paid off, and the 29-acre Camp was purchased for $15,000 in the name of the Iowa West Walther League Summer Camp Association. Now, 60 years later as we celebrate the blessings God has given us, we realize what an influence the Camp has had on the hundreds of thousands of people who have crossed its bridge.
