Holiday
Issue, 2005
Happy
New Year to our Nicolet family and friends! We hope that you all
enjoyed your Holiday Season and school vacations and that 2006 will
bring good health and happiness to you all. Speaking of...have you
received your 2006 camp calendar?
Many
thanks to alumna, Kelly O'Dea, for the super graphic design and
production, and to Dan Jahnke, Karen Julyan, Chris and Jeremy Starz,
Crystal Ward, and Anissa Widule for the great photographic contributions.
Looking at the days and months ahead, we have many exciting events
coming up. We hope to see as many of you as possible at the Midwest
Open House on Friday, January 20th at the Winnetka Community House
in Winnetka, IL. Jeremy is currently busy editing the new 2005
annual
DVD entiltled "CN '05 - Dream Big" which will be premiered
that evening. Our 2005 camper/staff photo albums are also in the
process of being compiled and will be
mailed
to all 2005 campers as soon as possible. In the meantime, enjoy
this issue of
2005

By
Special Request...
the
recipe for Nicolet Cookie Cups
you
will need:
-
chocolate chip cookie dough mix
-
a cupcake pan with paper cup liners
-
Cool Whip (lots)
Mix
the dough so it's nice and gooey and then spoon it into the
paper liners
in
the cupcake baking pan. Bake at the
oven
temperature specified on the mix
directions.
Bake long enough that the
outsides
are done, but the middle of each cookie cup is soft. Remove
from oven, cool and put a big spoonful of Cool Whip on the
top of each one. Oh yeah! Yummmmm!!! |

The
"Chips" Addition
Campers
whose mothers were also campers at Camp Nicolet are fondly
known as "chips". Already this year we have four
new chips that will be joining us this coming summer. We're
looking forward to showing them the same good time, many adventures,
and all the new friendships that are possible at camp.
They
are:
Isobella

Mini
Reunions Across the Country
Wow!
Who are these dressed up young ladies? None other than campers
from Pines and Juniper who
enjoyed
a big celebration in honor of Lexi's Bas Mitzvah in Nashville,
Tennessee. Congrats, Lexi! |
The
Nashville slumber party. Did anyone really sleep?
The
Loomis family is becoming famous for their annual
mini
reunions! Smiles all around on the campers who
gathered
in Chicago in early December to have a fun
weekend
with Nicolet cabinmates. |

Kirby
came from California to visit the Chicago crew.

Nicolet Staff & Alums in the News |
Abby
announced her engagement to this special
young
man who she will marry this summer.
Chris,
Jeremy, and Gabe (and Georgi too) enjoyed a wonderful Christmas
dinner at Adolph's in Park City, Utah where Chris, Gabe, and
Crystal are living and working this winter. Love that year
round skiing!

The
Camp Nicolet Advisory Board held their annual meeting at the
home of Lisa and Cary Cochrane (Kate)
on
December 10th. A good meeting with lots of new and exciting
plans for the future!
Judy,
Kelly, and Katy Eagen enjoyed a little holiday
break
at their Northwoods home near Conover, WI.
Kelly
Ed was one of 55,000 thrill-seeking spectators who watched
110 of the world's biggest names in action sport at the 2005
Gravity Games H2O which was held in Perth, Western Australia
last October. Notice the Northpoint
T-shirt! Good promotion, Kelly.
Speaking
of Kelly Ed...she now has a short do! A Christmas Kodak moment
with Mr. and Mrs. Edwards. |
|
Cross
country skiing in the Outpost is lots of fun...especially
the highline hills!
Do
you think that reindeer live here during the winter instead
of horses? |
Nicolet
mushers who stay in the Village cabins enjoy 12 miles of groomed
trails right out their backdoor.
Nearly
100 howling huskies trot the trails that we
ride
on horseback during the summer! The mushers will be returning
in February for Eagle River's famous
Klondike
Days weekend of winter activities. |

The
Starz family, Jeremy, Chris, and Georgi, wish you a warm and
wonderful 2006! |
