Looking Back


We could not have asked for a more beautiful November day, more dear friends and family, or more happiness. 

The gift of a cocktail reception from our guests was the icing on the cake. We look forward to the extended celebration of our wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 

Love, 

Tom and Jen Corcoran

Awards

In keeping with the eco-friendly spirit of the event, campers left with a Camp Kon Tiki canvas shopping bag. Campers worked hard to earn their merit badges, which they received after Sunday brunch in the Mess Hall. We hope we've remembered everyone's accomplishments and badges correctly.
