This reunion was set in motion in 2015, when the team of Mike Lurie, Rick Passman, and Howie Resnick treated then CYJ Director Noah Gallagher and his wife & twin children to a lovely dinner at Simpson's Restaurant in Waupaca. Discussions were held, followed by a visit to camp and a date was set.
One of the time-honored traditions of Camp Waupaca, especially in the Trail's End yearbook, was to write a time capsule after each season. In a few short paragraphs, the essence of the season gone by is recaptured in summary fashion. We continue this tradition with each reunion. CLICK HERE to view the time capsule for the 2016 reunion.
We always put together a full and detailed itinerary for our reunions, including activites for the "advance team" who arrive days early to prepare for the reunion. As the itinerary can often change at the whim of the group, we always qaulify the itinerary with: "subject to major or minor change, with or without notice"! CLICK HERE to see the itinerary.

What we did . . .
Every reunion is unique, and we strive to put together an excellent program each time. As such, we prepare and publish a detailed itinerary outlining our plans to answer the inevitable question, "What are we going to be doing?" And since things never go as planned, we always include the following disclaimer: "Events and times subject to major or minor changes, with or without notice", followed by our phone numbers so you can get real-time information about our plans!
