Camp Oljato's 75th Anniversary In-Camp Reunion - July 16
Have you ever been to Camp Oljato as a Scout, Scouter, or staff? Then you belong at this reunion! The Saturday reunion will start with the memorable boat ride into camp across beautiful Huntington Lake, amidst fleets of sailboats, aiming towards the iconic Oljato Pine on the far shore. An optional service project in the morning will set numerous trail markers along the Camp's Historical Trail. The day is open for wandering camp and remembering old adventures, as well as learning about the current adventures awaiting the Scouts attending this 75th year of camp. At 1pm will be our Reunion Ceremony in the Chapel at the base of the Oljato Pine, followed by a great BBQ nearby. We are organizing a Song Fest, with skits and songs, at the Camp Fire Circle near the Water Front. Learn more!
