I was at camp today and I have to say, I’m really impressed with the improvements to the property by the County . It is well thought and some really nice additions. The last time I was up there was just after the tornado a few years ago.

It is with sadness to announce that Pete Oertel passed away on Monday May 20th, 2024. Pete was a staple at camp for many, many years. May he rest in eternal peace while swimming many more miles! Godspeed Pete.

Copied from another page: Those old-timers in the group, I wanted to ask you all to say a prayer for Pete Ortel, he has been put on Hospice care. Pete has been a Lyle Icon for many many years and did just about every job at camp Lyle, but most of all he is one of the most caring people I know when it comes to helping scouts out. His passion was scouting and it would only be fitting for the scouting community to take a moment and say a prayer for Pete as he accepts God's plan for him at this stage of his life. If you have a memory of Pete, share it here.

Update: our friend Pete passed away on Monday May 20th. Keep his family in your prayers.

On December 8th RSLSR lost a good friend, Dick Schuh. He was on camp staff in the early 90’s as the shooting sports director and was the Ranger during the off season for years. Along his side was his wife Marie, who the staff called “Ma” and she was the camp cook. If you ever met Dick he always had a smile and a joke and if he liked you, he gave you a nickname -which you liked. He made an impression on so many young people. He may be gone from this earth, but he will be forever remembered. Blessings to Ma and his entire family during this time.

Richard "Dick" Schuh, of Elcho, died Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at his daughter's home in Rhinelander, under the care of Ascension Hospice.
