he Summer of 2006 marks Camps 97th year on the pristine shores of Minnesotas Lake Hubert. Thats 97 years old and 97 years strong. The tradition of excellence at Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert continues as we embrace and prepare for another summer of legendary camping ...inTENTional camping. That is, a summer camp experience in which everything is done with a purpose and an expected outcome for each goal. We believe that by being an Intentional Camp, we are able to provide the absolute best experience for campers, parents and staff. In todays world, more than ever, we consider it a true privilege to have a positive impact on the lives of hundreds of campers each summer. We realize how time flies as we watch our young Gopher and Happy Hollow campers progress to become Seniors and LTs in the blink of an eye. We also see the growth, confidence and self awareness that develops as campers and staff from all across the country and around the world work together in such a unique atmosphere. Often, summers at Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert provide the catalyst that sets a childs life on the path from good to great. During a recent visit with 95-year-old former director, Fred Rogers, his strongest memories of camp focus on the sincere privilege that he feels it has been to work with young people over his many decades at Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert. He talks of the inspiration from both campers and staff, many who continue to keep in touch with him in his elder years. It is clear how appreciative he is of the opportunity to serve and impact the lives of young adults throughout the decades. Freds eyes would tear-up as he talked of the many people who impacted his life; he would mention so many by name, recalling friends and the many events at camp. As for us, we can do the same... reflect on a special moment or achievement at camp that has impacted our life and kept alive the memory of summer camp. Yet, we do need your help. Word of mouth promotion is vital to our Camps success, so we ask that you join us in spreading the word about the many benefits of a quality camp experience. Talk with neighbors, friends, associates, teachers, etc. Have ideas? Let us know! So, as we embark on camps 97th summer, know that the legacy of excellence continues. At Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert, solid memories, friendships, and life skills continue to be created summer after summer, indeed demonstrating our commitment to intentional camping. P Thanks for the memories!

amp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert are committed to character building through five key Core Values... values that have been a part of our tradition since 1909. These Core Values are an important part of everything we do, and a central to inTENTional camping. You can see our values in action, as our campers: Build a strong community through the give-and-take experiences of living together; Strive for excellence through challenges and achievements in activities and programs; Enhance and gain a sense of personal growth and development that comes with new-found independence and developed through the encouragement of caring young adults; Establish many quality and lasting relationships that are made as the cabins work and play together; And, certainly have a lot of fun in a setting that creates joy and laughter with each new day. Indeed, this unique camp environment at Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert sets the tone for real growth; the type of growth that helps propel kids to excellence in so many ways throughout their young lives.

CAMP LINCOLN &

Camp Lincoln Leadership Training Program Continues Growth
BY ANDR BREWER
he Camp Lincoln Leadership Training (LT) Program is a two-year program for our 10th and 11th Grade Campers. These young men apply and must answer 12 to 14 college-essay type questions as part of the application process. From there, a total of 12 young men are chosen to participate in the Level 1 Program for the summer. The first year of the program focuses on both individual skill and coaching technique development in our activities. The first year also allows the camper to spend four weeks gaining experience in working with campers in and out of activities, planning an allcamp event, participating in a community service project and organizing the music for Rally Day, among other duties assigned to them by their staff. Once successfully completing the Level 1 Program, 6 of these campers are given the opportunity to apply for the Level 2 Program. Camp Lincoln LT 2s spend 6 weeks at camp, living in both a 4week and a 2-week cabin. This is a change from years past and we are happy to report that last years first ever 6-Week LT 2 Group found the additional 2 weeks to be very beneficial to their growth as leaders. As an LT 2, one basically assumes the role of a staff member without the responsibility of having a chalet of his own. They participate in all facets of cabin life from sunrise to sundown. In addition to living in 2 different cabins for 6 weeks,

these young men also spend their time learning about the business side of camp by meeting with the various leaders around camp. The goal is for them to learn about all of the areas that make a camp function. On top of these two requirements, the LT 2s are required to lead activities, volunteer weekly at a soup kitchen in Brainerd, mentor two to three new 4-week campers and visit three to four other camps in Minnesota and/or Wisconsin in addition to other duties assigned to them by the LT 2 Staff. This past summer, Camp Lincoln graduated 11 men from the LT 1 Program and 3 men from the LT 2 Program. Under the guidance of the LT Staff, these 14 men left camp knowing more about their strengths and areas of growth as leaders. Not only did they learn leadership skills at camp during their time with us, but hopefully they will apply their new skills at home in their schools, church youth groups, sports teams, community agencies, etc. just as past Camp Lincoln LT Program Graduates have done. The LT Program is not easy and asks much of its participants. However, the immense sense of satisfaction and personal growth one feels at its conclusion is reason to participate. We are so proud of the LT Program and its ability to produce solid, all-around, respectable young men. We look forward to working with the 2006 LT 1 and LT 2 Groups, which will both be selected in the new year. P

he First Annual Camper Council took place this summer at Camp Lake Hubert as Laura Nolan met each week with 12 representatives (one from each cabin) to discuss new ideas about keeping and making Camp Lake Hubert GREAT! The cabin representatives were enthusiastic about sharing their suggestions, which ranged from facility improvements to special day activities. The 2005 Camper Councils insight spurred such exciting ideas as a Slumber Party Breakfast and new and scrumptious snacks. The 2006 Camp Council will be building on the foundation built in 2005. So think about your own ideas for improving on what makes Camp Lake Hubert GREAT, and send them to laura@lincoln-lakehubert. com! You can also bring your ideas to camp this summer and pass them along to the 2nd Annual Camper Council! See you in 2006! P

Staff Speak their Mind

B Y JAKE A BEL

e sat down with Melissa Borken and Mike Eckberg, both Summer 2005 Staff Members, and talked about what camp does for them and for the kids. Melissa was a camper at Camp Lake Hubert for several years and has returned as a staff member, while 2005 was Mikes first year at Camp Lincoln. What was camp like?
MELISSA Camp is always different. It changes as I change and yet it is always the same. Its a place to return to; a place to see all the faces that make me feel at home.

MIKE Camp Lincoln was an action-packed, fun-filled day of social interaction, athletic competition, as well as leisure time for reflection. From sunrise to sunset, every camper and counselor continues to fulfill the tradition of Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert.

What has camp done for you?

MELISSA I think that as a camper, it gave me a sense of self-worth that would help me overcome difficulties and feel confident in my choices as an adult. It really provided a foundation for me to build character and friendships in a healthy, accepting environment. As an adult, camp has allowed me to challenge myself and to explore my strengths and weaknesses in the same healthy environment I experienced as a camper. MIKE Camp has further enhanced my ability to develop youth through the role of a counselor, friend, mentor and adult leader. The Summer of 2005 reassured the love I have for working with children. The most significant achievement I gained was understanding the impact of a positive role model toward todays youth.

change. I look back on each summer and can see the ways that the diverse environment has affected me. Camp is the best summer job anyone could have. I never realized that as a counselor each summer I would get to work with about 40 girls and I know that when I leave they will have changed me and affected me in the same positive way that I hope I have influenced them. MIKE After experiencing a summer at CL and learning about the tradition of excellence in character development, it is my personal goal to recommend any possible counselors or campers that would enrich the camp atmosphere. CL is such a great experience to have at any point in a childs or young adults life.

How do you think campers change at camp?

MELISSA I think that the campers leave camp with a new sense of confidence, self worth and a realization that friendships can last forever. MIKE Besides the fact that campers establish long-lasting, quality friendships, theyre able to participate in distinguished activities like nowhere else, but Lincoln. Other great aspects that campers grasp is the ability to live cooperatively with other kids, be away from home, try new activities and develop life-long skills. P

What does Camp mean to you?

MELISSA Camp is like another home to me. It is a place to go back to each summer and learn about myself. But even more so, it is a place to

The ACA: Protecting Summer Camps and Campers

B Y A NDR BREWER amp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert have long been members of the American Camp Association (ACA). Being a member of this organization allows our camps to continue to be two of the countrys premier summer camps. For the last 50 years, ACA has been the leader in guiding camp directors and staff in developing guidelines needed for policies, procedures and best practices for their camps. Similarly, ACA provides Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert the opportunity to become accredited every three years. The accreditation process is lengthy in that there are over 300 health, safety, and program quality standards that camps must comply with in order to be become accredited by the ACA. This process is something that Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert will continue to participate in for many reasons. One reason is that we want to continue to meet the expectations of our clientele. Parents today have many options when looking for a camp home. When they see that we have gone to such great lengths to demonstrate our commitment to the well-being of our staff and campers, they are impressed by this and are confident in choosing Lincoln and Lake Hubert as a camp home. Secondly, we want to continue the rich tradition of being accredited since the process started 50 years ago. Camp Lincoln is approaching its 100th year in operation and since its beginning, has strived for excellence in everything that it has done. Finally, by being accredited, the general public can trust that our programs offer a solid foundation of health, safety, and program quality. Also, our camps offer a supervised, positive environment in the outdoors where kids can laugh within a set of controlled boundaries. Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert believe in ACA and its mission. Therefore, we will continue to meet and strive to exceed the high standards it has set for the industry. P

THE CAMP INDUSTRY

The preliminary results are in! Camp DOES give kids a world of good!
ABOVE the average as to benefits they gained by being at camp! The research studies, supported by The Search Institute, Youth Development Strategies, Inc. (YDSI), the Lilly Endowment, Inc. and the American Camp Association (ACA), looked at four key areas in which the camp experience has the potential to improve a childs life. Those areas include: supportive relationships, safety, youth involvement, and skill building. You will be pleased to know that in all four areas surveyed, Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert were ABOVE the national average! Further work is being done in 2005-06 with YDSI in conjunction with ACA to look at best practices in all the factors within the study. B Y LAURA N OLAN But we already knew that. In 2003 and 2004, Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert participated in an ongoing study regarding the benefits of camp for kids. Not only did the most recent survey provide results showing OUR campers greatly benefited from camp in ways similar to kids at camps all over the nation; but Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert campers had statistics that shined Many of our Winter Office Staff will be attending national and regional ACA conferences as in years past. Being an active part of ACA is an important part of staying up-to-date with the current trends in youth development and camping. Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert believe so strongly in supporting this movement that we have staff who serve on the local ACA Board of Directors as well as the National Board! You can be sure Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert will be on the cutting edge, using new ideas to continue our reputation as Americas premier summer camps! For more information on the research studies and trends in youth development, please visit the national ACA website at www.acacamps.org. P

Scholarship Fund Making a Difference 101

Over $50,000 donated to the Scholarship Fund in 2005!
B Y KELLEY MCCLURE
The History: The Camp Lincoln/Camp Lake Hubert Scholarship Fund was started in 1980 upon the death of Chuck Everett, long time director and partner with Brownie Cote and Fred Rogers. The memorials that came from this early giving were the seed money that started a very active and productive scholarship program. The Fund was soon aligned with the American Camp Association, providing donors with a tax deductible benefit for their contributions. The Benefits: In turn, the camps were able to provide financial support to a growing number of families who understood the value of a good camp experience, but did not have the resources to make it happen. The camps have also been able to focus on creating a more ethnic and socio-economic diverse community, which enriches the camp experience for all. Since the beginning of the Scholarship Fund, the camps have matched all contributions, thus expanding the programs outreach. In 2005: During 2005, over $50,000 was donated as gifts and memorials to the Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert Scholarship Fund. Because of the generous donations from alumni and parents, 25 campers received financial aid, many with full tuition support. A deployed Military Scholarship program was also started (see article on page 9). What a blessing! So, how can you help? 1. By using the enclosed envelop, you can mail in your donation. 2. The Scholarship Fund accepts checks and/or credit card payments. 3. Join the growing number of alumni who make a gift of appreciated stock or have established a gift to the Fund in their estate planning. 4. You can also help by sponsoring or referring a deserving child from your own community. This program would not be a success without your continued support and donation. Thank you! P

Lincoln & Lake Huberts Military Family Scholarship Program
B Y JAKE A BEL

eginning early in our founding days in 1909, Camp Lincoln for Boys and Camp Lake Hubert for Girls have always embodied patriotic qualities of character: honesty, selflessness, integrity, courage and a drive for excellence. These characteristics can be found in our Camp Creed and Core Values... tracing back to our founders, two of who were officers in the Army and Navy. Throughout our near-century of operation, Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert have always been proud to support the men and women of the US Armed Forces, and their families who in turn support them. Last spring, the camps put these values into action, offering full-tuition scholarships for Minnesota families with a parent deployed over the summer. In all, five two-week scholarships were provided for Minnesota National Guard families over the summer. These families came from varied communities, branches of the military and were absolutely great additions to the Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert family.

Military Scholarship Recipients

Mitchell Langer Nick Langer Jordynn Longworth Karmen Totzke Zackary Wellsted

The program was well received across the board, from long-time camp families to scholarship recipients. P

Zackary was able to attend Camp Lincoln last year on a Military Scholarship, and for this we are very grateful. As a military family with 5 boys, camp is not a luxury that we would ever be able to afford, and while I know the values of camp, (as I was a camp counselor for 3 year myself) the expense for us just can not be met. Once again thank you for the opportunity that you provided Zackary last year. He continues to talk about it to this day!

B Y VLADIMIR K USKOVSKI
On a hot June day in 1990, the streets of the Twin Cities were covered with US and Soviet flags. Crowds of people were along the street celebrating the end of the Cold War and the historic visit of Soviet President, Michael Gorbachev to the great State of Minnesota. On that very same day, 150 miles north, the first-ever Soviet Counselor arrived at Camp Lincoln for Boys. Perhaps it was a risky proposition for the camps to bring a Soviet to the Northwoods of at that time, but it was definitely a good thing, as this counselor went on to become Head Counselor, CIT Director, and Fish Tech Director, as well as a very loyal alumnus of Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert over the next decade.

ack in the Summer of 1990, the highlight of the day for Kingfisher Cabin was rest hour in the Upper Chalet. It was during this time the campers got to teach their Soviet Counselor, Vladimir Kuskovski, all of the cool English words and then watch him practice these words. The famous little red notebook, which Vladimir carried everywhere he went, contained a number of words and phrases which one would never find in any dictionary. It contained the real kid language... the one kids understand and use at school, on the playground and in conversations with each other. That summer, Vladimir was on a quest to pick up as much English as possible, so he could teach English to teenagers back in Minsk, his hometown in the Soviet Union. As it turned out, Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert were not just summer camps for Vladimir. Over the period of three seemingly short summer months, the camp community become one family campers, counselors, and admin all one big

family. Vladimir found this out on departure day in August when everyone was saying their good-byes, but even more-so on the next day, when Pat Garrahy nonchalantly dropped off an envelope with money the Camp Staff collected for Vladimir so he could buy a few gifts for his family back in the USSR. Vladimirs first instinct was to return the money... but everyone was gone. In fact, his fellow staff members intentionally gave him the money once everyone was gone, knowing he would try and return the gift. From that moment on, there was no doubt in Vladimirs mind that he would be coming back the following summer. The Summer of 1991 was historical for the USSR and the world. It was while at Camp Lincoln that Vladimir found out that Gorbachev was arrested and his country was undergoing a coup de ta. This was the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union. Following camp, Vladimir postponed his return to the homeland as it continued to be in a state of unrest, working Grand View Lodge during the fall months. The Summer of 1992 rolled around and Vladimir was once again back at Camp. However, this year was the first time that Vladimir stayed in Minnesota after camp for a full year, helping some in the Camp Office as well as doing some translating and teaching on the side. A teacher at heart, Vladimir found a teaching job at a high school in the Twin Cities, where he taught Russian and German for a number of years. During his tenure, he was extremely successful in building up the Russian program to be the largest in the state, and one of the top high school Russian programs in the nation.

USSR to USA From page 10 this time, Vladimir never forgot his first American family at Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert, as he came back in various leadership roles, including directing the Fishing Camp for the first two summers of its existence. Be it fishing on Lake Hubert, sailing on Lake Superior, or hiking in the Black Hills with the Senior Campers, the opportunity to take a break from teaching kids in a school setting has always been Vladimirs definition of a good vacation. Since his first summer at Camp Lincoln, Vlad has earned his undergraduate degree in foreign languages from Minsk, Belarus, received his MA in Linguistics from Manchester University in the United Kingdom, and received his PHD in Education Administration from St. Marys University in Minnesota. Three years ago, Vladimir moved to Switzerland to work at the Leysin American School. He is currently Assistant Headmaster at Leysin, and will become Headmaster in July 2006. For information on this unique school, visit the Leysin American Schools website at www.las.ch. A few former camp people have visited Vlad at his new job and residence in Switzerland. In fact, Jim Strickland (S96-99) is currently working at Leysin as an English teacher, as is Anthony Everengton (94-95, 97) who serves as Activities Coordinator. Vladimir explained that Leysin is a lot like camp, combining high academic standards with outdoor adventures and hands-on experiences. He added, typically, someone who has worked at a camp before fits really well into staffing positions at such a school. According to Vladimir, it is his work at camp that best prepared him for his current position at Leysin. Today, Vladimir still keeps in touch with Camp and stops by when he is in Northern Minnesota. Vlad and his wife, Jennifer, are expecting a future camper in early spring of 2006. Congratulations on your many successes and thank you for your many years of service to camp and for your continued work in youth development through education. You represent the best of Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert!

A Tribute To Two Great Women

On a field trip with the University to the north country, Marlys was disc overed by a yo ung and charm Director named ing Camp Fred Rogers.

Marlys Roger s

Evelyn Young
velyn Sponberg Young served as Food Service Director for Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert for 33 years, from 1957 to 1989. She passed away on September 29, 2005 at the age of 93. Evelyn grew up in a small town in southern Minnesota and attended Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. She went on to teach school for a few years, until she met her husband, Gus Young, and was married in 1941. A young athlete and coach, Gus had already spent a number of summers at Camp Lincoln as a counselor and basketball coach. When Gus accepted the position of Basketball Coach for Gustavus Adolphus in 1949, Evelyn was recruited and hired as Food Service Director, where she led the emergence of a dynamic team. In the mid fifties, Gus was involved in Lincolns Basketball Camps; and that is when Evelyn and the camps discovered each other. Evelyn was persuaded to take on the camps food service operation, paving the way for a partnership that would last over three decades. Fred Rogers always said that Evelyn was one of Gods angels, for her heart and dedication were an example to all and a reflection of her faith and walk. Known by many as Ma Young, the White Tornado, or just Evelyn she touched the lives of so many young people who worked with her at camp and Gustavus. Her fantastic cookies, yummy chocolate sauce, special rye bread, fresh donuts and breads, from-scratch cooking and her unbounded energy will remain a constant memory for all. Evelyns daughters, Margie and Allie, also grew up at camp over those many summers. In 1992, the Dining Hall at Camp Lincoln was named the Evelyn Young Dining Hall in tribute to Evelyn and her legacy. A memorial service was held at Mt. Olivet Church in Minneapolis and granddaughters, Muffy and Sara, gave a very touching reflection on memories of their grandmother. A great granddaughter, named Evelyn, has a namesake to carry forth her memory.

His favorite memory of camp was being a counselor for Sam Cote in Mohawk Cabin his very best camper. He remembers Bill Jones, the Wilderness Director everyone admired. S Larry Fogelberg (48) came from Alabama and learned to swim and not cry when things didnt always work out. He sends his congratulations for keeping alive the ideas and ideals that are almost 100 years old. S Stephan (Hill) White (47, 48) lives in Bend, Ore. and writes that his memories of camp remain very strong. His love for sailing and how to handle a canoe all started on Lake Hubert. He remembers the sight and smell of the old sawmill on the lake, the pig roast in that deep pit and camp meals. He says, As a little kid, I had no understanding of how my Camp Lincoln experiences would form a major part of the fabric of who I was to become. S Janice (Ryman) Kenner (43-49) writes that in 1992, she and Elizabeth Ibby Gray Danforth (40-46), Margie Lee Bradley Swengel (40, 41, S45), Cinni Wahle (43-46), Sally Ann Johnson Stewart (43-45), and Mary Foster Freese (40-42) started having yearly reunions and even visited Camp Lake Hubert together in both 1995 and 1997. On their last visit to camp, one of the Clubhouse Campers told them that she hoped her camp friendships will continue to grow through the years as this group has done for 60 years. She was saddened to report that Ibby Danforth passed away this spring. S Bob Cote (42-51, S52) has just announced his retirement as General Manager of Tanque Verde and the Bellota Ranch after 35 years of running the ranches in Tucson. His wife, Rita, is now in managing the ranch while Bob enjoys retirement and a life of leisure. S Jane K Johnson (49, 50) has retired from teaching and co-owns a small Arabian horse business in Manitou Springs, Colo. She directed Girl Scout camps in Colorado, Arizona, Pennsylvania & Virginia for fifteen years and still is involved with ACA as a Camp Visitor. She enjoys travel, bowling, a western history group, Rotaryand just staying young. S Myrtle (McBride) Lipscomb (S47-50) has recently moved from Denver, Colo., to Oro Valley, Ariz., and still has fond memories of working in the office at camp with Fred, Chuck and Brownie. S Judy (Dow) Bishop (49-57, S04, 05) not only helps us recruiting campers in the North Chicago Area, but also comes back to camp each year to help train our staff and get us off to a terrific start in riflery training. Her background as an US Olympic Coach in Riflery is really helpful. No wonder the girls at Camp Lake Hubert have been doing so well in competition with the boys across the lake! S Stan Field (56) writes that he now sells wholesale food and lives in Gravois Mills, Mo. He has two daughters Amy and Courtney, plus one new granddaughter born this year. S Coey (Schacht) Finke (59, 61) lives with her family in Phoenix, Ariz. S Liz (Wilde) Berkenkamp (53-56) came back for a visit this fall to Camp Lake Hubert 49 years after being at camp. She enjoyed wandering into camp and, with the help of Jay Beebe from our maintenance crew, was able to find her picture in the lodge and enjoyed lots of happy memories which flooded back to her. S Jeff Spragens (54-57, S59-67) has completed a generous commitment by serving on the Cote Family Companies Board of Directors. Thanks, Jeff, for your continued support of our camping programs.

...And the Walls Came Tumblin Down

Historic 90 year old building dismantled at Lincoln
B Y S AM C OTE
he historic old Dispensary building that was built in 1916 by William Blake as a residence and meeting place for his early campers was removed late this summer. The building was constructed of variable sized logs from the property itself, with local loggers clearing the back woods and hewing the logs for the construction of the cabin. The building was quite unique in design, with two large open rooms in the middle surrounded by a wide screened porch on two sides. Over the years, the cabin was used for many purposes, from Blake and then Brownies residence in the early days, to staff and office housing and eventually Dispensary use in later years. While the building has important historic value, its condition was deteriorating quickly, especially the unique roofing design. Local experts examined it for possible renovation, but it was deemed un-repairable and not safe enough for camping standards. Thus, this September, Bill Jones and a small group of staff took on the challenge to carefully remove this old building. It was a sad day indeed, but some of the interior logs and unique window framing were saved for possible use or display in a future history center. P
