About Me:
Hey, Im Dave, I have been the Director at Lazy F Camp and Retreat Center
for 15 years. I love to see the positive changes in the campers and
guests who visit Lazy F and the improvements in the facilities and
grounds through the years. I grew up in Minnesota and is an avid fan of
all sports teams from that area and waiting for that elusive Viking
Super Bowl victory. I am married to Heather and we have two wonderful
teenage kids. I am also known as the RingMaster !
Super Power: I have the power to control activities around the camp (sometimes like a three ring circus)

Camp Counselors (Their 'Real' Names)
StarWalker
About Me
and Super Power: Beyond lightning clouds and
thunder storms, snow falls and the most unforgiving winds, over the
highest mountain tops and through dense electromagnetic fields, the
story of a young StarWalker has only just begun.
Spawned from the depths of the Mighty
Mississippi River, his path has led him to lands both far and wide and
into the hearts of many, leaving only the beautifully ameliorated in his
trail. Born with superhuman equilibrium and the most potent of
curiosities, through poise and beautiful noise the young lad endures
daily struggles and triumphs in his never ending quest for truth, love,
and a better understanding.
Beside the state of a personal balance
between mind body and soul, this gift has given him the ability to
achieve stability, communication, and a magnanimous credence with both
fauna and flora of the entire world. With his trusted companion
SwissLove, an intergalactic explorer sent to earth for reasons unknown
and taken form as canis lupus familiaris, the planets most
tried-and-true of species, the two are inseparable in the perpetual
expedition of life. The next step in their world’s perambulation?
Camp Lazy-F, to learn and inspire just
what extraordinary accomplishments the young people of today are capable
of, and to spread an awareness of the true beauty that is the gift of
life we have each so graciously been given.

Moonie
About Me:
Hey Campers! My name is Moonie, I am
from Douglas Wyoming, I will be a senior at Central Washington
University I am studying Communication with a minor in Women’s Studies,
and Foreign Language. I love God, being (active) outside, playing
guitar, drawing (and other art activities), reading and sports! I grew
up going to camp, I loved being able to get out of town and getting
closer to God, the games that we played, the campfires, hiking,
climbing, sleeping in cabins, and making new friends! I think that camp
is a time to grow closer to God and to make new friends.
Super Power: If I had
a super power it would be the ability to shoot warm chocolate chip
cookies out of my hands, very similar to Spiderman’s web, but tastier!
Hobbes
About Me:
Outdoor ministry is a great passion of mine because it combines two of
the three things I love most: the outdoors and helping others grow in
faith (the third thing is ice cream).
I grew up going to Lazy F (this is about my 15th
summer) and am so excited to meet our campers this summer and have even
more awesome and amazing experiences with you all!
When I’m not at camp (or studying hard at the University of Puget
Sound – Go Loggers!) I’m usually off in the woods somewhere running,
rock climbing, biking, backpacking, or kayaking (which you don’t
actually do in the woods, but near them).
If I ever grow up I’d like to own a house that is built for tall
people, has its own zip line, and a pool I can fill with ice cream - or
just a big freezer.
Super Power: My super powers include the ability to eat large amounts of ice cream in a single sitting, fire breathing, and the faith to get me through the bumps, twists, and bends in this great adventure called life.
Quirky
About Me:
Hey ya'll! My name is Quirky and I'm super excited to be hanging out
with you guys this summer! They call me Quirky because
I'm...well...quirky ;) I quite like doing various artsy things so if
you're feeling crafty I'm your girl. You'll also find me at the rock
wall and on the challenge course. This will be my second summer at Lazy
F and I can't wait to see all the campers I had last summer and meet new
campers.
Super Power: Ability to change traffic lights and ability to eat sweets (especially chocolate)
Flamingo
About Me:
I'm 22 years old, this is my third summer at

muscle of patience, fluent in "Mexican" and Night Owl person.
Chipper
About Me:
Hi campers!
My name is Chipper and I am a student at Western Washington
University. Whenever I have
free time, you might find me coloring, doodling, gluing or taping a
project together because I love making art!
I also love animals including deer, raccoons and ducks and I
often go out of my way to find them. Someday I hope to be a Speech
Pathologist where I can tend to children who have trouble speaking.
On another note, I am incredibly looking forward to this summer and
see how much fun we all can have at Lazy F!
Super Power: My
superpower is coaxing wild animals toward me- but I only use my power
for good of
