Bobbie Jo Gulsig

Hi!
I'm Bobbie Jo and I am an APD this summer! I am going on my 4th summer at Pathways and my second summer as APD! I have been around camp since I graduated high school in '04 and it has by far been my greatest joy in life!
I currently attend MSUM and I am working towards a degree in education. I work as a Youth Coordinator at Trinity in Moorhead as well as an 9th grade Basketball Coach at Moorhead High and a Jr. High Softball coach!

The top 5 things I am looking forward to at camp this summer...
1. 1,00o's of smiling kids and families excited about God's love and Camp!
2. Challenging kids on the challenege course!
3. The Dishroom!
4. Campouts and cooking over the fire.
5. Donna's cooking :)

I am so excited to see you all and meet you soon! Have a wonderful rest of the year and get ready for an amazing summer experience!!

Special Note: Eric Clapp don't even think about editing my post!

Dan Cahoon

Hallo! I'm Dan Cahoon, this is my third and probably final year at Pathways, and unfortunately, like last year I will not be there for the start of staff training, this year becasue my family is taking a vacation to California during that week. So the information you would have heard would I be present there is that I'm a junior at Concordia Moorhead. I'm majoring in Religion and Classics (which means lots of Latin and Greek studies) with a minor in Philosophy. Originally from Bismarck, ND, I drum (poorly), and play violin (more poorly). I spend the vast majority of my time either sleeping, reading, writing, playing video games, or talking with friends, and I enjoy all of them immensly. Post-graduation I'm hoping to go to Israel for a month, then Peace Core until youth ministry and then possibly cumulating in a teaching career.

Nancy Smebak

Hi, all! I’m Nancy Smebak, a freshman studying architecture at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. This summer, I’ll be counseling at Emmaus and cooking fabulous cuisine at LOWBC (and by fabulous I mean I hope it isn’t burnt).

I’m originally from Roseau, MN where I live on a farm with three younger sisters (Sarah is one; you’ll be “meeting” her soon, I think), my mother and step-father, 3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 horses, and an assortment of cows and occasional livestock.

At school, I’m involved in flute choir, Campus Crusade for Christ, a student-run orchestra group, and a middle-school tutoring program. I like reading when I have the time (and looking at the pictures when I don’t), making really big messes, and a lot of other fun things I can’t think of at the moment.

I’m looking forward to a summer filled with fun and SPF 45 and some time away from academics. If you want to know more (and see some cool pictures of my architecture projects), check out my blog at briefeternity.blogspot.com. (I make no promises.)

Talk to you later!

Carson T. Walker

Aloha! So I am sitting here thinking of another way to start this blog out, something different than the others, but no such luck...

My name is Carson Thomas Walker, I am 19 years young, I have been living in Moorhead, MN my entire life, even in the same house. Seems rare these days. I am attending Minnesota State University - Moorhead. Majoring in either Business Finance or Elementary Ed. I am counting on my experiences this summer to impact that decision. I do not have a favorite season, I love the snow and I love the summer, each have their pros and cons. I enjoy snowmobiling, downhill skiing, being on the water, hanging out with my Junior High kids at Trinity in Moorhead.
I love everything there is to love about being a mentor/counselor based on my experiences at Trinity as a small group leader in high school and this year being a junior high mentor. I love music, simple as that, whether it be singing, playing the piano, or trying harder and harder at becoming a decent guitarist! I really enjoy trying to break kids out of their "comfort-zones" and get in the game and not worry about what the next person thinks. Well that is myself in a nutshell!!!!!

I am totally pumped to meet each and every one of you this summer!!!! Enjoy the last month (give or take) of school!

P.S. I am the one on the right. Looking like the guy from Not Another Teen Movie...haha

Thomas R. F. Swenson

Hi, my name is Tom. It like tomato with out the omato... and with om like in tom... yeah... So this is my second year working at camp Emmaus. It's bringing me back again. So about me... I'm a not a sarcastic person at all. (sarcasm about sarcasm?) I am currently a sophomore at PLU. I just talked to my acedemic advisor today, and I'm a math major with minors in actuarial science, economics, and religion. Lot's of work I guess. I grew up in Moorhead, MN. I play hockey, and pretty much any other sport that calls itself a sport. I'm currently enrolled in badminton at PLU... kinda cool. I love long walks around the lake, star-gazing on the dock... and cuddling in close with my dear, water baby...

Amanda Meyer

Hello all!
As already stated above my name is Amanda (not to be confused with the OTHER Amanda), and I'll be washing your dishes this summer!! Yeah! OK so now that you are all jealous, I'll go on talking about myself. This will be my second official summer as camp assistant, though I've been a camper in the past. I am currently attending Sebeka High but will be moving to the wonderful land of Moorhead, MN and be attending Oak Grove Lutheran next year. I love to run, drink coffee, sing songs to myself while driving, organized chaos, campfires, and having a round about good time! I am super excited to be coming to camp this summer and can't wait to see everybody!
During the winter months while not studying I participate in volleyball and run track. I also love watching Wild hockey games and attending dance classes...
So I guess that's about it for now. I hope everybody has a great last few months of school and I will either meet/see you soon!
peace.

Korey Breutzmann

That's me! I'm Korey and I'm from Germantown, WI. I'm currently a super senior that attends class at Madison Tech but am earning duel credits from the University of Wisconsin. I'm majoring in recreation management and will hopefully be graduating soon. Then who knows where I'll be. My family moved here from Germany in the 60's so I'm bilingual as well, although I can understand german much better than I can speak it. The last 4 summers I worked at a camp in Wisconsin called Pine Lake, which was a part of Crossways Camping Ministries. I spent 2 years being a counselor and 2 years acting as the waterfront coordinator.
In summer, my biggest passion is the Milwaukee Brewers. My family has had season tickets for a long time and I've been a fan forever......even in the rough years. I got to go to the 2002 MLB All-Star game at Miller Park and for those of you baseball fans out there, its the only All-Star game to end in a tie. In winter, I like to spend my time skiing on the slopes. At one time in my life, I raced competatively, but had to give it up due to an injury. I also spend time with my roomates raising the lemur that lives in our basement, swinging on vines through the city making monkey noises, and playing great symphonys on empty bottles.
