BTL 2020 Planning Team
The Back To Lodestar (BTL) Planning Team is an ad hoc group of enthusiastic
Lodestar campers and staff members whose nostalgic longings transformed into the celebration known as BACK TO LODESTAR!
Lodestar campers and staff members whose nostalgic longings transformed into the celebration known as BACK TO LODESTAR!
And, BACK TO LODESTAR CONTINUES . . .
On a beautiful October weekend in 2018, the first Back to Lodestar event came about to remember, renew and rejoice in the spirit of Camp Lodestar. Campers rekindled their memories of Lodestar's beauty, spirituality, serenity, and the peace and love they felt as young campers and staff. Campers renewed their connections with the Lodestar community by partaking in activities, remembering old and rejoicing in new, to create new inspirational memories. Finally, the campers reflected on the people who touched their lives in one way or another without knowing it or understanding how they, the campers, were influenced at the time.
As Back to Lodestar campers packed up, many asked us (BTL Planning Team) when are we going to have another event. We all smiled thinking to ourselves, "that wasn’t the plan," until one special request came to us to do it again in two years. The request was one we could not deny, as it came from the one person who taught and influenced so many of us, so long ago, Tom Trutner. Thanks to Tom, the Team went to work to create Lodestar 2020!
