CHAPTER HISTORY
LO-KE-CO began in 1995 at Ft. Canby State Park in Long Beach, WA. during "Beach Cleanup" while joining Hanging Loose Camping Club. Having hadsuch a good time together, it was decided to form a camping club. On Aug. 8, 1995 LO-KE-CO received their Charter in Lacey, WA at the Land Yacht Club. The name LO-KE-CO was formed from LOngview, KElso, COwlitz County because members were scattered throughout.
Within several months the membership increased to 15 rigs, camping from spring through autumn. The first President was Harvey Good, Vice President, Bill Setters, and Secretary, Gerri Crockett.
Wanting to give back to the community, previously club members took part in beach clean-ups and Adopt a Fam ily. Currently LO-KE-CO donates to Dogs for Better Lives, formerly known as Dogs f or the Deaf, and both Longview and Kelso "Shop with a Cop".
Like all chapters, our member numbers change, adding members and retiring members from the camping life. We are always looking for new members who love camping and having fun as much as we do !
