Rainy Weekend

Well, it was a typical Memorial Day weekend (cold and rainy). It seems like every other year we have bad weather for the holiday. We were all happy to see the rain even though it meant we weren't going to be enjoying the outdoors. Camp is already drying out and we worry about fire danger, so seeing puddles around camp was really nice! We had a group in this weekend to participate in the Indian Valley Century Ride. It is a 100 mile bike ride from Greenville High School up to Gennesee and Antelope Lake and then back around the Valley. Most of our group actually completed the ride in spite of the rain showers and they were so complimentary of our area and facilities. It is always a pleasure to have them stay with us and enjoy what our little town has to offer!

Today, we are remembering the men and women of our Armed Services, and the sacrifices they have made for our freedoms. We are grateful today for the life we lead and the choices we have.

We hope you are enjoying your Memorial Day!
Only 2 more weeks until the staff arrive to start training. Summer is truly right around the corner!

Welcome Coppercreek's Newest Camper

It is with great joy we announce the arrival of Makenna Rae Hogland! She arrived on her due date @ 4:35 am. She weighed 8 pounds, 6 oz and is 20.5 inches long. So far, she is a great baby! Sleeping and eating are her favorite activities. We are all completely in love and feel so blessed to have such a happy healthy addition to our family!

With love,

The Hogland Family

Craig, Becky, Ryleigh and Makenna

Prepping Camp for the Endurance Ride

It has already been a busy week around camp! Craig and Lornie spent the morning cruising the property and making lists for this weekend's Endurance Ride. It is always a big push to get camp ready this early, but it makes for much less work in June. I am here in Truckee...still waiting on this baby! Nothing yet, but tomorrow is the official due date, so maybe this little bugger will be on time. Kalli, our former Equestrian Center Director, is checking out a new horse for our lesson program today, and we are also looking at a new Vaulting horse. We will keep you posted on the Equestrian Center developments as the month proceeds.
We hope you are enjoying the lovely weather.

5 days to go!

Well, only 5 days until the due date... I am still hoping this baby will come early, but nothing yet! Here is an update of what is happening at camp right now! Craig has been driving the tractor around for the last couple of days building a new road out in the Ranch meadow. We will be hosting a 100 mile horseback endurance ride on May 17 and 18, so Craig is trying to get things gorgeous and ready, hopefully before the baby comes. Lauren has been splitting her time between the camp office and the barn. She has been finishing the staff hiring and getting the horses ready for the summer. Tami is getting the family packets stuffed into envelopes and out to our enrolled campers for this summer. The family packet includes not only the Parent's Guide, but also all of the important forms you will need. I am answering the camp phones, my e-mail and waiting...waiting....waiting....for this new bundle of joy to arrive.

Take care, and have a great day!

The Waiting Game

Hello Coppercreek Friends and Families,
Spring has sprung at Coppercreek, and we are all starting to get excited about summer. Only 5 1/2 weeks until the first camper's arrive. Along with all of the work to get camp up and going for the summer, we are also waiting for our newest arrival. Our (Craig & Becky's) second child is due to arrive on May 13th, but as we all know, nobody tells the baby the date it is supposed to come. There is nothing quite like waiting for a baby to come! Everyone at camp is so anxious to meet this new little person, but no one is as anxious as me!!!! So, I am playing the waiting game, answering the camp phones and hoping that today will be the day.... :)!
For those campers who have already enrolled for this summer, the Parent's Guide and all of the forms are going in the mail this week, so watch your mail box.
I will post again soon. Hopefully with photos of our newest camper!!
