Candleboat Ceremony

Friday, August 15, 2025 at 7:00 PM

Campers, families, and alumni — you're invited to help us close out another unforgettable summer at our beloved Candleboat Ceremony, the final and most magical campfire of the season!

Who’s Invited?

Everyone! Campers, alumni, families — and yes, Day Campers and their families too! Just remember, all campers must be accompanied by an adult.

We'll kick things off on the Main Athletic Field with cheers, awards, and heartfelt speeches. It's a night to celebrate everything we've shared this summer! During the ceremony, paddle recipients will be called to the field to be recognized for their achievements!

As the sun sets and the stars begin to twinkle, we’ll make our way to the pond for the candleboat tradition — a peaceful, song-filled moment where we float candles on the water to reflect on our summer memories and say goodbye until next year. 

Details:

  • The ceremony will begin at 7:30pm, but we ask that guests arrive between 7 & 7:30pm.
  • Session H campers may be signed out Thursday night from the upper pavilion after the ceremony by their families. IDs will be checked.
  • Following the ceremony, refreshments will be served in the Upper Pavilion and the Camp Store will be open for purchases.
