Join Us for Camp Jewell’s 125th Anniversary Reunion Weekend August 28-31, 2026
For 125 years, Camp Jewell has been a place where friendships are built, traditions are passed down, and memories last a lifetime. This August, we invite campers, staff, families, and friends from every generation to come home and celebrate this incredible milestone together.
Reconnect with old friends, revisit your favorite camp activities, explore how camp has changed through the years, and take part in a weekend filled with campfires, songs, stories, special events, and plenty of Camp Jewell magic. Highlights include our 125th Anniversary Celebration, Camp Jewell 5K and Kids Run, a special concert with Nancy Tucker, alumni gatherings, historical exhibits, and opportunities to make new memories with the people who helped shape your camp experience.
Whether camp was part of your life 50 years ago or just last summer, this weekend is for you. Registration is already filling quickly, and space is limited. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this once-in-a-generation celebration as we honor Camp Jewell’s past and look ahead to the next 125 years.
Come home to Camp Jewell. We can’t wait to welcome you back.
