• Summer Camp Rally! Camp Rubenstein in the Wallowas (Potluck & Presentation)

    Activity: Potluck & Presentation

    Leader: Ane McKee

    If you plan on going to Camp Rubenstein in Wallowa Lake, Oregon this August 8 through 13, 2025, you'll want to attend this Potluck & Presentation. This year, we’re staying at Wallowa Lake Camp (www.wallowalake.org), a retreat center. Camp Boss, Steve Johnson, will provide details about the facility, registration, lodging options, and tips on what to bring and things to do.

    If you haven't gone to summer camp with us before, this will be a great opportunity to learn how we do it. If you're an old hand, please come to share your stories and get inspired to join us on another great adventure.
