Gwynn Valley 85+2 Reunion
Join us on August 12
Come join us for a weekend of fun to celebrate Gwynn Valley's 85 (+2) Reunion! We hope that many of our alumni will join us at camp to rekindle friendships, celebrate our community, share memories, and enjoy the simple joys of childhood.
The weekend will kick off at happy hour Friday evening. Enjoy some of your favorite camp activities like Arts & Crafts, Archery, Biking, Climbing, the Farm, and Waterfront on Saturday. Saturday will end with an old-fashioned Mountain Dance in the Dining Hall. Spend Sunday morning savoring time with old friends (and new?) at breakfast before Sunday Service.
