Alumni Weekend 2019 - 30 Years of Girls' Programming at CRS.

Camp Rising Sun Summer Reunion 2019

(Fri. July 19th - Sun. July 21st)

This year we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the opening of Clinton, and with it, 30 years of Girls' programming at CRS. Join us in the celebrations during this year's Alumni Weekend, Friday, July 19th to Sunday, July 21st.  Since this is a special year we will have special speakers and activities.  We welcome alumni, families, and friends to Camp Rising Sun to join us for singing, dining, projects, council and more - in short, a weekend full of CRS! The reunion occurs between the two Camp sessions, allowing our alumni to step back in time and be campers again. You can even sleep on tent-hill with your campmates or your whole family. Arrangements will also be made for special room prices at the Rhinebeck Motel.

We are excited to celebrate with you during the Alumni Reunion Weekend!  However, the Alumni Reunion is not a BYOB event. So, we will have beer and wine available throughout the weekend. You can get your drink tickets in advance now. 

Join us in commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Clinton campus and girls at Rising Sun with special activities and speakers. As part of the festivities, LAJF/CRS will be hosting a Run/Walk/Bike commemorating the distance Camp has grown. This run on July 20th begins at the Red Hook campus, where Camp Rising Sun was born and travels symbolically to our Clinton campus, the current home of our program. To participate, in this event, you can sign up when you register.  If you are interested in supporting our runners, walkers, and bikers you can learn more here.

Alumni celebrating their 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 40th, 45th, and 50th reunion can attend the reunion at a 50% discount.
