Grow the Mind, Body & Spirit
Dedicated and compassionate Lakesiders, Howard and Joann Strauch, have a long and meaningful history with Lakeside.
 
Howard was first introduced through his Methodist Youth Fellowship group in 1944, and Joann had known of Lakeside for many years before her first visit during the summer of 1968.
 
Howard and Joann both came from active Methodist families, and Lakeside, with its unique and educational summer programs, was a natural fit for them.
