It's that time again! Time for our summer reunion! The reunion will take place at the campgrounds on Saturday January 4th from 11am to 2pm. We will hang out, sing songs, have some lunch and enjoy being together again. Lunch will be provided. Invites will be sent in the mail to all campers and staff from last summer at the addresses we have on file. If you have moved since the summer, please get in contact with us to provide your updated information. All alumni (former campers and volunteers) are welcome. You may also bring family and friends to show them what camp is all about. For more information or to RSVP, please contact John Skinner at johnskinner.campopp@gmail.com
