The Camp Potomac Reunion Committee would like to invite you to a gala reunion of Camp Potomac campers and staff the weekend of October 1-3, 2021 at Camp Potomac.

This promises to be a memorable gathering of old friends from a time in our lives when we were campers at staff at this amazing place. Maybe you still have a lingering taste of Grandma's fried chicken on Thursday night, a member of singing "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" and "I Love to Go A Wandering," a crackling evening campfire with some hilarious unit skits, trying to lock down a bullseye on the rifle or archery range, and afternoon open swim in Friendship Lake to drive away the summer heat, or making a new friend. The list goes on and on. The reunion will give you an opportunity to participate in some of the activities that you may remember during your days at camp and catch up with some old camp friends.

The weekend will kick off with a cracker barrel (remember these?) on Friday night. On Saturday, there will be cooked to order camp breakfast, morning activities, camp lunch, afternoon activities all over camp, a catered supper, a Scout memorabilia auction, an old-time evening campfire, and cracker barrel afterwards. We will have a continental breakfast on Sunday before departing.
