Hello Canada Creek Ranch! The Baker Family includes
Shawn, Kresta, Jackson and their two Labrador retrievers,
LuLu and Ivy. They are originally from Midland, MI, and have
spent the last decade living North of Clare at White Birch
Lakes Recreation Association. The Baker ’s moved closer to
their family in 2017 and now call Sanford, MI their home.
Shawn is the Operations Manager for Mesa Products and
has worked for the company for ten years. Kresta is a Medical
Esthetician at Glo Skin Spa and has worked in the esthetics
world for 16 years. Their son Jack keeps them on their toes
with lots of school activities and sports.
The whole family enjoys nature and outdoor activities. They
love camping and just last summer upgraded from a tent to a
small camper. They love shooting and target practice, along
with archery. All three Baker ’s practice with their bows in
their backyard. Hunting and fishing are priority for this
family. They enjoy spending time with Mother Nature and
unplugging. Often times they fish for hours on local lakes.
Shawn is a 13-year member of a Hunting Camp near Glennie.
And has passed on the traditions of Camp to his son Jack.
They are looking forward to his first youth hunt this fall. The
Baker ’s love gardening, both perennial and vegetable
gardens and quite often share the harvest with friends and
family. With their son being active in sports, Shawn
volunteers his time coaching football and baseball to share
his knowledge with Jack and other children in the
community. Also, locally, Kresta teaches art painting classes
on wooden pallets that were built in their barn by Shawn. New members, the Baker family.
The Baker ’s were introduced to Canada Creek Ranch by their
Brother and Sister-in-law Shane and Vickie Baker. Their first
visit was 2014. They were hooked from the first visit. Since
their first visit, they have returned each year and have
explored all the wonderment of CCR. They have swum at
the beach, enjoyed many sightings of deer and elk, explored
the outback, enjoyed the gun range, dined at the Lodge,
snowmobiled and participated in the Winter Jamboree, fished
Little Joe and the streams, hiked, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Shawn was fortunate enough to be a part
of the Elk hunt by scouting for hunters these last two years.
With fishing at the forefront for this family, they even started
their own family tournament with Shane and Vickie that
takes place during the trout opener…(trophy provided for
bragging purposes.) The Baker Family applied to Canada
Creek Ranch because of all this club has to offer. They see
themselves spending a lot of time at CCR and making
memories for their son to reflect on for many years to come.
Hello fellow members. My name is Lindsey DeLodder from Louisville,
Kentucky! However, I was born in Royal Oak Michigan and lived my
first 7 years of life in Clinton Township before making the big move
down south.
In Kentucky I work for a payment integrity company as a Data Mining
Analyst. I have been with the company for 11 years now and still going.
I am also a part time Travel Agent working alongside my mother, which
is my true passion. We have been all over the world and yet Canada
Creek is still one of my favorite places on earth. Even though I live far
away, my family and I try to make it to the Ranch as often as possible.
The peace and beauty of the property, friendly faces and family fun
activities keep us coming back year after year.
Canada Creek Ranch has been in my family for generations starting
with Grandfather who joined as a charter member. Since then, my two
Uncles, Father and my Cousin have all become members. I am truly
excited to keep the tradition going and continue to bring my growing
family up for many years to come.
New member, Lindsey DeLodder.
