75th Anniversary All-Staff Reunion at Lutherlyn

June 10, 2023 (with the option of staying Friday and/or Saturday night)
Register Online

Registration deadline is June 1, 2023

What is this, and who is invited?
2023 marks Lutherlyn's 75th year of summer camp programs!  Join us as we celebrate our history together, help members of our summer staff community reconnect with each other, build new friendships and have fun!

This is open to anyone who has served on Lutherlyn's staff: counselors, kitchen staff, lifeguards, store managers, grounds crew, crafts staff, and everyone else who has been part of summer or full-time staff (and their families).

Event Focus
We hope this reunion provides former staff with an opportunity to catch up with old friends, reconnect with lost friends, and meet new people who have the shared experience of being part of the Lutherlyn staff.  We're also hoping Lutherlyn can help this community stay in touch with each other in the future and keep everyone informed about what's going on at camp.  And, last but certainly not least, we want everyone to have some FUN - it is camp after all!

Lutherlyn's database doesn't reliably have former staff members marked as such and, since so many of our staff are young adults who move once, twice, or more in the years following their summer(s) with us, there are hundreds - maybe thousands - of former staff members we don't have any way to reach.  To help us update our records, please encourage any former staffers you may know to email development@lutherlyn.com so we can get their name, address, and the years they served on staff to include them in future invitations.
