This year’s Friends’ Weekend was a memorable one. More than 300 people joined us to relax, renew friendships, and celebrate special milestones. Guests enjoyed activities such as hiking, crafting, and horseback riding–and in the spirit of Camp and School, they also helped with barn chores and volunteered for work jobs.

We celebrated with the NCS classes of 1968–1972 for their 50-ish reunion, and we opened time capsules with the NCS class of 2012, which had an excellent turnout for their 10th reunion (see pages 16 and 17). Friends and family gathered in the Rickey Circle to remember and celebrate the life of Roger Loud (Trustee 94–22, CTT 42–48, parent 71–95, staff 54–63, 70–80, NCS parent 70–96, faculty 70–92). And we toasted outgoing Camp Director Karen Culpepper and shared stories and memories of her time at Treetops.

It was an unforgettable weekend–thank you to all who attended.

We hope to see you in August 2023.
