One of our oldest traditions. All current and alumni families welcome! Book your reservation now! It’s the best day / weekend of the year. We all drive down to the Park, meet for a picnic at noon, choose from several hike options, then enjoy the evening at Riley Creek Campground where all families camp in the same loop… kids biking, running and playing together in the woods, and sharing s’mores.
