Lindsay Morlock

Hey everyone! This is so crazy--I have never ever posted a blog on the internet before, so this is my first attempt at it. My only hope then is that people don't get bored with me too quickly and stop reading right now.

Interested yet? Cool! Well, I'm Lindsay...also known as Linzo to many people around camp. This will be my 4th summer on staff, and I'll be running the circus up at LOWBC (Lake of the Woods Bible Camp) for the five weeks we have campers! That means each and every one of you will get to spend one GLORIOUS week with me up there! I'm totally down with Harry Potter July, Derek.

I just graduated from Concordia College with a degree in Chemistry Education. I like chemistry and I like teaching so I thought that was the perfect major for me! I'm currently looking for jobs in the St. Paul area, since that's where I'll be living after August 17th. That's the day I'm getting married. Yes, married. I'm super excited, and it'll definitely be a busy summer getting ready for that.

Some of my interests: mornings, playing cards, coffee, giving blood, desserts, star gazing, camp outs, conquering the challenge course, which I hope to do more of this summer, loving LOWBC, getting to know all of you this summer, going to baseball games, traveling, and reading.

It's going to be a great summer! Get pumped! And don't swim with the alligators in Lake Morgan.

Nels Hunstad...

So I'm having a hard time starting this thing out.. I mean. do I write like "Hey all" or do I give a big howdy? Like.. I could possibly start off with something like "Greetings Earthlings". or even one very loud and long HEYYYYYYY. Of course, I could always just start talking about myself and see if that works. But. An introduction of sorts is sort of necessary at this juncture. I mean, chances are we haven't met. In fact I don't know 10 out of the 26 people posted on the pictures page, and I know they don't know me.. or I hope. Cuz that's weird.

anyway.. I digress...

So. I'm Nels Hunstad, as a spoonerism, that's Hels Nunstad. Which, oddly, is also my name on facebook. So look me up. When I write on blogs like this I tend to use periods A LOT. period. but generally I consider myself a good writer, and that's mostly just because I love it. I'm decent at math, but I'm no Tom.. and I really like films. Which is why I'll be the Technology Director this summer.

Sure, I could have taken the summer off to actually create some of the projects I've been working on.. But let's be real. Camp is the place to be in the summer and I couldn't be happier with my decision.

I really like being active and playing sports whenever I get the chance. I love, love, love the outdoors (yes, 3 times). But at the same time, I'm a total computer and videogame nerd. On the computer I'm into design, writing, and looking at pointless websites. Video games feed my "super-competitive" spirit.

Speaking of competition. I come from MOORHEAD. the Hometown of 7 staffers. and part time residence of at least 13. So what? I'm not that unique, but at least I can admit it... Anyway. Moorhead is a lovely town. But one fun fact about me is that I spent the first 2 years of my life living at camp. No really. My dad was the director back in the late 80's and yes, he did have a huge huge mullet. So I lived in cabin Grace, for the summers and in Menagha during the winter. For this reason, I am able to literally call Camp Emmaus home, and hopefully after the summer all you newbs will be able to too. For the past two years I attended Augsburg College in Moneyapolis, but at this juncture in my life it seems that I will not be returning in the fall. My hope is to take the year off, live in Moorhead, make some money, and then ship out for film school in Vancouver. That's in Canada eh. In other news..

Some people call me a space cowboy.

but that's another story for another time.

My family and friends are a huge part of my life. Instead of explaning my family to you. I'll just let you take a look at the picture and you'll get the idea. Need me to spell it out? They're C-R-A-Z-Y. Which for some reason reminds of Britney Spears, and that brings me to my next point..

One huge thing about me is MUSIC. I love music. The words, rhythyms, melodies, whatever. Chances are if some sort of song is on I will be singing along. If it bugs you, just let me know, and I'll be sure to sing louder. No really, I'll stop if you ask. In reality. I don't like Britney Spears, or her music, but I do know all the words. Also, I'm not funny, sad, or mad. Again, refer to the picture of my family and you'll see that I have no emotion, so be prepared to deal with that.


So.. blogs are fun. Right? No matter what you write. People read it.

like that.

Anyway, I'm excited for the summer of love. err. Camp. to begin. and I'm hoping you are too.

Much love,

Hels.

(oh and for those random ladies who just happen to come along. I'm single, so let's mingle.)

Edit: I take back the math thing.. if you know why. well sweet.. Cookie? Parade? whatever.

Rachel Brawner

hey there! so....I saw that a lot of people had done this already and thought I would join the crowd! I am a junior at Wartburg College in this really small town in.......Iowa, and am majoring in History. This is going to be my second year working as a counselor, but i went to camp for three years too. When I am not doing loads of homework I really like hanging out with friends, watching sports, or playing golf! I am super excited for the summer not only because of all the fun it is going to be, but also because i get to work with my cousin and brother! Sadly though, I am going to be late for training because my brother is graduating...but I will be looking forward to meeting everyone(again)!

God Bless!

Anne Elizabeth Bergstrom

Hey! My name is Anne Bergstrom. I am a sophomore at the University of Minnesota Morris, and this going to be my first summer as a counselor at Pathways. I am super excited and have been dreaming about this since my first year as a camper at Minne-Wa-Kan! I'm originally from Twin Valley, Minnesota, and I have one brother and one sister. I love being outdoors and being active; I play varsity softball at Morris, and am involved in many intramurals. I love reading and am the new book reviewer for our on-campus paper! I have been active in the choir program here on campus and give prospective students tours when they come to visit UMM. I just changed my major to English and Art History with a Biology minor, so I have been pretty busy with my classes! I can be pretty random sometimes, and I'm always ready for a laugh. I'm definitely not an early bird, but have had so many early classes that I can't even think about waking up past 7:30, which is very sad! I'm extremely excited to meet everyone, and hope you all have a great end of spring, and good luck on any finals!!!

Above you will find a lovely picture of myself, and yes I did get my sunglasses stuck in my hair. Not to mention the lovely Camp Emmaus paint job i have on my face;). I will be a first time counselor this summer, and I'm lovin' it already! I graduate from Lake Park/ Audubon HS very soon....(may) and next year I'm going to South Dakota State.
About Me: I'm a little nerdy, I like math, and I really like to sing songs that i make up about whatever is happening at the moment. This morning, i had captain crunch for breakfast. I was voted class-clown in my graduating class, but i thought i should've gotten "most likely to succeed" or something to that extent. I really like people in general, especially my grandma! and I cant wait to meet you all at staff training!!!!!!
P.S. I love Will Ferrell!

Cathryn Nelson

Hello friends! Here I am, a freshman sitting in my dorm room at Gustavus Adolphus College, catching up on the Grey's Anatomy from last week; the busiest academic week of my life! Here at Gustavus I am in Choir and intramural softball. I work for the Office of Church Relations where I help coordinate confirmation visits, and then through GYO(Gustavus Youth Outreach) I put on retreat activities and worship for the same groups! I am still an undeclared major, but currently thinking about pre-occupational therapy and a possible psych major?... I guess I wait for God to let me know on this one.

I am from Moorhead, MN, where my parents, younger sister, and yellow lab(Josie) live. I enjoy being outdoors and playing tennis, softball, soccer, etc. I like pea pods raw or cooked, asparagus and broccoli(along with a lot of other foods). I have a thing for the moon, and am not super fond of spiders.
I have never worked at Pathways before, though I was a camper for multiple years
