I went into the post office yesterday and a nice gentleman asked me if I was a "Lindskog". I kind of laughed and wondered if I really look that much like my Dad. Seeing my little look of surprise, he pointed at my truck with the Coppercreek Camp signs on it and said, "I was in a cabin with Mike Lindskog when we were about 10 years old. We sure did have some adventures in that cabin." Okay folks, that would have been almost 30 years ago. The gentleman's name is Kevin Williams. Ring a bell to anyone? If you are reading this Kevin, thanks for introducing yourself...again!
Welcome Dave Kern and Peter Hanna to the alumni blog!
About Me
- Lornie
- My parents, John Lindskog and Lynne Evarts, started Coppercreek Camp in 1965 when they purchased the raw land. Their dream was a children's summer camp where kids could spend their summers playing with friends in the great outdoors. We lived in a one room log cabin with no indoor plumbing for awhile as Dad built the main house. I have spent every summer there since except the one when I was 17 and I hated my Dad. I got a summer job elsewhere and had the worst summer of my life. I quickly decided my Dad was an alright guy and I needed to be back at camp! I now run the place with my partners, Becky and Craig Hogland. We are all raising our daughters at camp as well. It creates girls who can drive tractors at 8 years old, feed 40 horses, ride them, ride mountain bikes, kayak, climb, hike, like sleeping outside, bugs, dirt, full moons, and sleep overs with 100 other people! The wonder of the internet has now started to re-connect everyone who ever came to camp and it is a joyful thing. Hopefully, this blog will help that process.
