Reunion 2015
Thanks for coming out for the 2012 reunion! It was great fun to reconnect with family and to enjoy reunion traditions such as the giant banana split, Shettler olympics, the watermelon seed spitting contest, bocce tournament, and more.
Since everyone enjoyed the Crooked Creek Camp venue, we went ahead and booked the retreat lodge for our 2015 reunion! We were able to reserve the upper level, which means that the rooms will be "hotel style" (each with their own restroom). The pool, pond (for boating), hiking trails, etc. will again be available.
