Facebook, Old Photos & New Things at Camp

Hello Coppercreek Families and Friends,
I have to admit, I have become a Facebook junkie. It is terrible, but true! I joined a few months ago to see what all of the fuss was about. In those few months, I have re-connected to high school, college, and the best part, Coppercreek friends, old and new. I have been amazed and delighted to hear from and see photos of so many people who were part of Coppercreek over the years. Facebook even has Lornie and I pulling out the archived photos, scanning and uploading them. There are some true gems in the cardboard boxes. I put about 30 up today and there are more to come. The most special thing about re-connecting to all of these Coppercreekers has been hearing how much Coppercreek meant and still means to so many! The walk down Memory Lane has been fantastic. If you would like to see more photos, please feel free to join us on Facebook. We also have an alumni blog coppercreekalumni.blogspot.com, and/or you can join our alumni group from our website. We would love to hear from everyone!
Big Coppercreek hugs,
Becky

Guess who's coming back to Coppercreek!

Hello Everyone,
We are busy this week at camp! It is the time of year when all of the preparation (staff hiring, booking new campers, planning projects and programs, etc.) for next year really begins. The exciting news is that we are starting to hear from the staff who want to return next summer. So, first a disclaimer, we haven't heard from everyone yet, and some of these staff are "maybe"s, but here is the list: Quillan, Jorge, Dave, Kari, Lucy, Lindsay, Sophia, Sean, Katie, James, Maggie, Laura, Cindy & Jonny! You can't miss this summer!!
Happy Thursday.

January News from Coppercreek!

Happy New Year! We hope your holidays were spent with friends and family appreciating your blessings! We had a wonderful holiday season. After celebrating Christmas here at camp, Sutter and Ilana traveled with me to Truckee to spend the vacation working as ticket sellers at Northstar. It was fantastic. They got to live the "ski bum" life, and I had wonderful employees who I knew would be at work on time (since they stayed with me!). We all celebrated New Year's Eve on the mountain! Ryleigh, Craig, Lornie and Sutter skied. Taylor (a friend of Sutter & Ilana's) and Ilana snowboarded, Kenna and I hung out on the deck people watching and then we all watched the fireworks together at Northstar. I had the pleasure of bumping into Ryan Kirk on the mountain! It was great to see you, Ryan. I am really surprised we didn't see more of our campers. Please look me, Sutter or Ilana up if you ski Northstar. We would love to say hello.

Other happenings at Coppercreek:

Alumni Group

Our alumni group is growing by the day. We have almost 200 alumni registered so far. It has been such a pleasure for all of us to re-connect with so many of Coppercreek's former campers and staff.

The Coppercreek Memorial Fund

We have recently established the Coppercreek Memorial Fund, a scholarship fund to give local children a chance to attend camp. For years, we have reached out to needy children in our community at our own cost. We would like to continue and grow the scholarship fund and are looking for help. If you or anyone you know might be interested, please give us a call or visit our website http://www.coppercreek.com/scholarship-donations.asp for more information.

Reunion Slide Shows

Lauren is putting together some Reunion Slide Shows. Her first one is scheduled for February 8th in the Los Angeles area. We are also looking for people who would like to host a slide show in Phoenix, Las Vegas, the Bay Area, and any other location, really! Please shoot Lornie an e-mail for more information. lornie@coppercreek.com!

So, there is the exciting news for now.

Happy Thursday!
