Reunion Activities
Throughout the reunion weekend, family members will have opportunities to relax, reconnect, and enjoy time together across generations. Planned activities include group outings, a family picnic with food, music, and activities for all ages, and an evening reunion celebration focused on fellowship and connection.
Unstructured time is intentionally built into the schedule to allow families to gather organically, explore together, and create meaningful memories at their own pace. Let the laughter, storytelling, and bonding continue all weekend long.
